How to Send an Email from a Contact's Owner in HubSpot

You can send marketing emails as if they are coming from the contact owner in HubSpot. Here's how.

In HubSpot, you can send an email

00:00:07:59 00:00:12:20
broadcast and have each of the emails
come from the contact owner.

00:00:12:23 00:00:16:92
Each email is coming from someone
the contact is likely to know instead

00:00:16:95 00:00:21:18
of from a generic email address
belonging to the company.

00:00:21:21 00:00:24:18
I'm going to show you how
to do that very quickly.

00:00:24:21 00:00:29:20
We go to Marketing and select email.

00:00:29:50 00:00:36:42
Then let's create an email,
and we'll use any old template.

00:00:36:45 00:00:39:98
Once you're in the email,
go to the settings.

00:00:40:00 00:00:46:30
What we're going to do is customize the
"from name" and the "from address."

00:00:46:33 00:00:51:24
So instead of directly selecting a user,
in which case every email in this

00:00:51:27 00:00:57:20
broadcast would come from this name and
this email address,

00:00:57:50 00:01:03:70
we are going to set a token which will
allow every email in the broadcast

00:01:03:73 00:01:08:44
to come from the contact
owner in the HubSpot account.

00:01:08:47 00:01:12:66
And in many cases, this is going to be
the person that the contact knows.

00:01:12:69 00:01:17:13
So your open rates and read rates are
going to be much higher this way.

00:01:17:16 00:01:21:21
So in the "From Name" field, we're going
to pick the token for the name of the contact owner.

00:01:21:24 00:01:23:85
And to do that, you click in the field

00:01:23:88 00:01:27:66
and then you come down to add
personalization token.

00:01:27:69 00:01:31:14
The type of token should be set to "contacts."

00:01:31:17 00:01:35:38
And then to select the property,
we're going to select owner.

00:01:35:41 00:01:39:42
And the property that we want
to select is contact owner.

00:01:39:45 00:01:44:18
And then the User Property we want
to select is going to be full name.

00:01:44:21 00:01:48:10
So every email will come from the full
name of the contact owner.

00:01:48:13 00:01:51:54
Hit insert and that token is here.

00:01:51:56 00:01:54:60
Then we're going to do the same
thing in the "From address."

00:01:54:90 00:01:59:46
We're going to go to add personalization
token, type is contacts.

00:01:59:49 00:02:02:40
Again, we want the owner,

00:02:03:60 00:02:09:36
so we select contact owner, and now the
User Property that we want to select is email.

00:02:09:80 00:02:13:42
So it's the contact owner's
email that we insert here.

00:02:13:45 00:02:16:86
And here's this personalization token.

00:02:16:89 00:02:22:17
And now in this email broadcast,
every email will come from the contact

00:02:22:20 00:02:27:16
owner, and this will improve your
deliverability and retention.

00:02:27:16 00:02:27:52
Thank You.
