CRM & Sales
SimpleHubSpot + Slack, real-time deal alerts
The moment a deal changes stage, a high-value lead comes in, or a deal goes cold, the right Slack channel gets notified instantly, no more sales reps checking HubSpot fifty times a day.
Two tools, one clear trigger, one clear action. Tools: HubSpot + Slack.

The problem this automation solves
Sales momentum dies in the gap between a lead landing in the CRM and a rep actually seeing it. Teams relying on manual CRM checks routinely lose hours of response time on their hottest leads.
How the workflow runs
Trigger
A HubSpot deal is created, changes stage, or a lead score crosses your threshold.
Enrich
The workflow pulls deal value, contact details, and last activity into a single message.
Route
Notifications go to the right Slack channel or DM based on deal owner, territory, or deal size.
Escalate
Deals with no activity after N days trigger a separate stale-deal alert to the sales manager.
What you need before we start
- ✓HubSpot with a private app (or OAuth app) that can read deals, contacts and owners.
- ✓A Slack workspace where the bot can post to the channels you choose, and a map of HubSpot owners to Slack users for direct messages.
- ✓The rules that matter to your team: which stages, deal sizes or lead scores deserve an alert.
What usually goes wrong with HubSpot + Slack, and how the workflow handles it
Alert fatigue
Posting every property change buries the alerts that matter. Only the events you define are sent, and repeated changes on the same deal within a short window are grouped into one message.
Owners without a Slack account
If a deal owner cannot be matched to a Slack user, the alert goes to a fallback channel instead of disappearing.
Stale-deal checks that spam
Stale-deal reminders run on a schedule and remember what was already sent, so a manager gets one reminder per deal per period, not one per run.

Can this route by territory or deal size?
Yes, routing logic is fully custom, by owner, region, deal value, or any HubSpot property.
Does it work with HubSpot workflows we already have?
It runs alongside your existing HubSpot automation, it does not replace HubSpot's native workflow tool, it extends it into Slack with richer logic.
Can reps act from Slack?
Yes. Messages can include buttons, for example to log a call or move the deal stage, which update HubSpot directly.
Does HubSpot's own Slack app not do this already?
It covers basic notifications. Custom routing by territory or deal size, grouped messages and stale-deal escalation usually need a workflow on top.
