Leading conversational texting platform brings one of a kind, embedded SMS integration to HubSpot empowering HubSpot customers to text directly from workflows and contact records.

TextUs, the leading conversational texting platform has announced the release of its HubSpot integration, enabling users to send and receive two-way SMS from directly within HubSpot workflows and contact records.

The TextUs-HubSpot integration fulfills a unique need in the SMS space by allowing users to easily add texting to their automation workflows, enabling them to better nurture leads throughout their sales and marketing funnels.  Additionally, TextUs is the first SMS partner in the HubSpot marketplace to include embedded messenger capabilities, which allows users to utilize two-way text messaging directly from the HubSpot contact record.  Text messages are then logged back into the contact record as notes, so that users can easily track all conversations with leads, prospects and customers.

Key features of the HubSpot integration include:

• Build texts into HubSpot workflows. Customizable texts can be triggered automatically within HubSpot workflows that send from a text-enabled business phone number.
• Use Texts as Automation Triggers. Use logged inbound texts as triggers for other HubSpot actions, giving users more ways to build pipeline, nurture leads and convert at higher rates.
• Add Two-Way Texting to HubSpot. Easily respond to prospects and customers by texting them directly from HubSpot using the TextUs embedded messenger.
• Easily resume conversations. Easily find and resume any conversation within the TextUs inbox, with clear indicators of which messages were sent from HubSpot workflows.
• Log conversations back to HubSpot. Texts are auto-logged text communications back into HubSpot for a single system of record.
