The problem
Drip tags fall out of step with HubSpot stages
Drip automations need tags that reflect the sales stage, but that stage lives in HubSpot. Tagging by hand is slow, and a tag can kick off a workflow you did not expect.
Without PopdockAI
- Pull HubSpot contacts by lifecycle stage
- Find each one in Drip
- Tag them by hand
- Trigger workflows by surprise
With PopdockAI
- HubSpot contacts at the stage are found
- Only people Drip already has are kept
- You see will tag, already tagged and not in Drip, with a workflow warning
- No new subscribers are created
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Tag the Drip subscribers whose HubSpot contact is at lifecycle stage `{lifecycle-stage}` with the Drip tag `{tag}` (default: "hubspot-" followed by the lifecycle stage, e.g. hubspot-customer), after the user confirms. Check up to `{max-records}` (default 100) HubSpot contacts.
**Step 1: Contacts at that stage in HubSpot**
Call `hubspot-get-contacts` with `lifecycle-stage` set to `{lifecycle-stage}` and `max-records` set to `{max-records}` (100 if blank). Drop contacts with no email.
**Step 2: Find them in Drip**
For each contact, take `email` and call `drip-get-subscriber` with `email` set to it. Keep only the people Drip has. Mark the ones whose Drip tags already include the tag, and the ones whose Drip status is unsubscribed.
**Step 3: Confirm**
Show the tag and three groups: will tag, already tagged, not in Drip (count only). Unsubscribed people stay in "will tag", since a tag sends nothing, but mark them. Ask the user to confirm. Do nothing more until they confirm.
**Step 4: Tag**
Only after confirmation, call `drip-add-subscriber-tag` once per person in "will tag", with `email` set to their email and `tag` set to the tag. Report the totals: tagged, failed (with the error).
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `hubspot-get-contacts` is on the hubspot server; `drip-get-subscriber` and `drip-add-subscriber-tag` are on the drip server.
* `drip-add-subscriber-tag` is the only write tool this prompt may call, and only after the user confirms. Only tag people who already exist in Drip: do NOT call `drip-add-subscriber`, and do NOT call `drip-remove-subscriber-tag`, `drip-start-subscriber-workflow` or any HubSpot write tool.
* Warn the user that a Drip workflow triggered by this tag will start for everyone tagged.
**Validation:**
* If HubSpot returns no contacts at `{lifecycle-stage}`, the value may be spelled differently in this account (for example customer vs Customer). Call `hubspot-get-contacts` with `max-records` 20 and no stage filter, list the lifecycle-stage values you see, and stop.
* If no HubSpot contact is in Drip, say so and stop without asking for confirmation.Who it's for
