Enroll Contacts

There are two primary ways to push prospects into First Touch:

Workflow Action Card

Best for: AutomationTrigger enrollment based on lead score, form fills, or page views.
  1. In a Contact Workflow, add an action.
  2. Scroll to “Integrated Apps” > First Touch.
  3. Select Enroll Contact into Flow.

Segments / Lists

Best for: Bulk Enrollment
  1. Use HubSpot Lists to define your audience.
  2. Sync these lists directly via First Touch audiences inside the First Touch Webapp.

Manage Actions (UI App Card)

When a workflow step requires manual approval, it appears in the First Touch UI App Card on the contact record.
  • Review & Edit: Check the drafted message content.
  • Approve/Reject: Execute the outbound action directly from the card.

Activity Timeline

Once an action is executed, it is automatically logged. You will see events like “Connection Request Sent” or “Message Sent” on the contact’s Activity Timeline.

4. Uninstalling

If you need to disconnect the integration, you must remove it from your HubSpot portal settings. Instructions: To uninstall, go to HubSpot Settings > Integrations > Connected Apps. Find First Touch, click ‘Actions’, and select ‘Uninstall’.
Uninstalling the app will stop all active First Touch workflows and prevent further data syncing. Historical data logged to the timeline will remain.
