Follow this protocol to ensure data integrity across both systems.
Define the Trigger
In HubSpot, create an Active List called 'Enriched - Ready for Sequencing'. Set the criteria to include contacts where 'Email' is known, 'Industry' is known, and 'Lifecycle Stage' is 'Lead'.
Ensure you exclude current customers or active opportunities to avoid awkward overlapping communications.
Configure the Webhook
In your automation tool (Make/Zapier/n8n), trigger a workflow when a contact enters this list. Map the HubSpot contact properties to your payload: Email, First Name, Company Name, and any custom variables used in your scripts.
{
"email": "{{email}}",
"firstName": "{{firstname}}",
"company": "{{company}}",
"custom_variable_1": "{{industry_hook}}"
}Push to SmartLead
Use the SmartLead API node to 'Add Lead to Campaign'. Select the campaign ID that matches your desired sequence. Map the fields from the incoming webhook payload.
Bi-Directional Sync
To sync replies back, use the Global Webhook in SmartLead. Set it to trigger on 'Email Replied'. Point it to a second workflow that finds the Contact in HubSpot by email and updates their 'Lead Status' to 'Connected'.
SmartLead webhooks fire for all campaigns. Add a filter in your automation to route to the correct owner if you have multiple reps.
