Contact Timeline Event Creation

Salesmsg will automatically save any incoming and outgoing texts and calls to the Contact, Deal, and Ticket Deals, & Tasks timeline. Additionally, any notes created in Salesmsg will be synchronized with the corresponding Contacts in HubSpot.

When enabled, the "Send Timelines in Associated Objects" setting ensures that all new timeline events created in Salesmsg are also logged within the associated HubSpot objects.

For New Users: The setting will be off by default, giving you the option to enable it according to your needs.

For Existing Users: The setting will be on by default, ensuring continuity and enhanced visibility of your timeline events within associated objects.

Salesmsg gives you the option to link Salesmsg contacts to a HubSpot contact as well as automatically sync your HubSpot contacts.

If contact is updated in Salesmsg then...
