Create a Flow
Start a New Flow
In Flows, click Create flow. You can start from scratch or use a template.Create manually opens a temporary Draft Flow Plan. Leaving the unfinished creation sequence can remove that temporary Flow Plan.
Choose a Source
Select which source adds contacts to the Flow Plan.Supported source choices include:
- HubSpot segment (list)
- CSV file
- Sales Navigator
- HubSpot workflow / Chrome extension
- Choose existing audience
Add Steps
Add the sequence of actions you want contacts to move through, such as email, LinkedIn, call, manual task, conditional split, or AI agent steps. Timing is configured as a delay on each action; there is no standalone Delay node.
Review Settings
Open flow settings to configure enrichment, exclusions, ownership, CRM sync, and email tracking.See Flow Settings.
Publish
Draft flows do not run until you publish them.
Available Actions
Use these building blocks to create your flow:Send new-thread or reply-style emails.
Call and Manual Tasks
Create work for a rep to complete inside the flow.
AI Agents
Research, qualify, and prospect inside a flow.
Conditional Split
Route contacts down different paths based on rules.
Manual Assignment
Reassign ownership inside a flow.
CRM Enrichment
Copy an existing Flow Enrollment value into a specific custom HubSpot property. Normal mapped write-back happens automatically when CRM integration is enabled.
LinkedIn Actions
LinkedIn actions require a paid plan, an assigned candidate with Social action permission, and a usable connected LinkedIn account.
Repeated LinkedIn chat actions also need a cumulative three-hour delay. See Delays.
Editing Active Flows
You can edit a published flow. Renaming does not return a Flow Plan to Draft or require republishing. Non-system Signal-linked Flow Plans can be renamed, but deletion remains disabled for them in Flow Builder.How edits affect active prospects
How edits affect active prospects
Existing Flow Enrollments keep the Flow Plan version they entered with. In Flow Builder, valid saved edits to a published flow are automatically republished and apply to new enrollments, without a separate Publish click. Draft flows still require publishing before new enrollments can start. Unpublish before editing if you need a review checkpoint.
Pausing a Flow
Pausing a Flow
Unpublishing returns the Flow Plan to Draft, stops new enrollments, and can pause pending scheduled steps until it is published again.
If the Team’s available credits are below the Flow Plan’s maximum estimated run cost, the credit gate can pause enrollment startup and every action that has not started yet. Started or completed actions are not rolled back.
