πŸ“Œ How to Schedule & Log Meetings in HubSpot

The goal is to ensure every meeting is scheduled, tracked, and logged in HubSpot with the correct type and outcome β€” keeping reporting accurate and triggering the right automations.

1️⃣ Book Directly in HubSpot

  • Go to the contact/company/deal record β†’ click Schedule meeting
  • Add meeting details: title, date, time, attendees
  • Choose the correct Meeting Type (e.g., Discovery, Demo, Follow-up)
  • βœ… Make sure the meeting is associated with the right contact(s), company, and deal

2️⃣ Book from Google/Outlook Calendar

  • Create the event in your Google/Outlook calendar and invite the prospect’s email
  • HubSpot will log the meeting automatically on the contact record
  • After the meeting, check HubSpot and update:
    • Meeting Type (Discovery, Demo, etc.)
    • Outcome (Completed, No-show, Cancelled)

3️⃣ Prospect Books via HubSpot Meeting Link

  • Send your HubSpot meeting link (Discovery, Demo, or General)
  • Meeting will be logged automatically with the right type
  • After the meeting, update the Outcome in HubSpot

πŸ”Ή Discovery β†’ SQL Workflow

  • When a meeting is logged with:
    • Type = Discovery
    • Outcome = Completed
  • βœ… HubSpot workflow will automatically move the contact to SQL
  • No extra step needed β†’ just ensure type & outcome are set correctly

βœ… Best Practices

  • Always double-check every meeting in HubSpot has:
    • Meeting Type
    • Outcome
  • This keeps reporting accurate
  • Ensures automations (like the SQL workflow) run correctly

🎯 Outcome

By following this workflow, all meetings are properly logged in HubSpot, linked to the right records, categorized by type, and tracked with outcomes β€” ensuring smooth automation and reliable reporting.
