Overview

What Is HubSpot?

HubSpot is an inbound marketing and sales cloud-based software suite. Their tools and service offerings help companies and individuals attract visitors, convert leads, control their marketing efforts, manage their sales processes, and much more. According to HubSpot, inbound marketing is defined as:

“The process of attracting customers through relevant and helpful content and adding value at every stage in your customer’s buying journey. Inbound marketing lets potential customers find you through blogs, search engines, and social media. Unlike outbound marketing, inbound marketing does not need to fight for potential customers’ attention. Instead, by creating content designed to address the problems and needs of your ideal customers, you attract qualified prospects and build trust and credibility for your business.”

  • Step 2: In the top right corner, click on Create Chatflow.

  • Step 3: Select if you want to add the Chatflow to a Website or Facebook Messenger.

  • Step 4: If this is your first Chatflow for the account, a pop-up will appear, asking you to Add Chat to your website.

  • Step 5: This takes you to the customization wizard, where you can configure your chat inbox. You can set things like the color and heading of your chat box, the users, its availability, and several other options.

  • Step 6: Once you have set your Availability options, you get a preview of the Chatbox, and you can then click Publish. You get a pop-up letting you know the Chatflow is published.
