HubSpot Customer Journey Giveaway
Grow your email list with a HubSpot giveaway template built for newsletter signup, audience segmentation, workflow triggers, and personalised email plus SMS follow-up.
Use this HubSpot giveaway template to grow your mailing list with a campaign built around newsletter signup, audience segmentation, and stronger customer journey workflows.
Instead of collecting generic subscribers and sending them into one broad follow-up sequence, this template helps you gather richer first-party data before and during the campaign. With the Pre-Entry tab, you can collect profile fields that can be synced into HubSpot, use Phone for SMS-ready workflows, use Country and City for geographic targeting, and collect structured data that identifies the subscriber’s problem, solution fit, buying timing, and primary concern.
This makes the template ideal for brands that want to use a giveaway not only for email capture, but also for better product matching, stronger audience segmentation, smarter timing-based workflows, and more relevant email plus SMS follow-up after signup.
The water filter setup used in this template is just one example of how HubSpot can use giveaway data to power workflows. The same structure can also work for skincare, home improvement, subscriptions, SaaS, automotive, ecommerce, and other businesses that need better segmentation and customer journey triggers.
Use the Pre-Entry tab and structured custom fields together so your giveaway sends richer contact records into HubSpot. Then use question actions only for additional workflow-routing signals such as readiness, education stage, or support needs. This makes it easier to segment audiences, trigger workflows, recommend the right solution, and time offers based on real buying intent and customer concerns.
What This Template Does
- Grows your list with a high-value newsletter signup action
- Uses Pre-Entry fields to collect customer data before users unlock the giveaway
- Captures additional workflow-routing signals with multiple choice question actions that support better segmentation and workflow triggers without duplicating your custom fields
- Encourages stronger engagement with page visit actions, product education, and social discovery
- Adds referral-driven reach through a built-in viral share action
- Uses secret code actions in both email and SMS to encourage post-signup engagement
- Rewards full participation with a bonus action at the end of the action stack
Benefits
-
Attract More Subscribers at the Top of the Funnel: Running a competition with a HubSpot integration gives people a clear reason to subscribe, helping you increase newsletter signup volume faster than a standard form alone while keeping the entry experience engaging and conversion-focused.
-
Collect Better First-Party Data from the Start: Instead of collecting only an email address, you can capture useful customer details through Pre-Entry fields and structured custom properties. This gives you richer first-party data for product recommendations, segmentation, and journey logic.
-
Recommend the Right Solution More Accurately: Custom fields for problem type, solution fit, timing, and primary concern help match subscribers with more relevant products, services, or offers. That makes future follow-up more useful and commercially effective.
-
Trigger Better Timing-Based Workflows: Collecting buying timeline as a mapped field lets you build stronger HubSpot workflows for immediate buyers, near-term shoppers, and long-term researchers. That makes follow-up timing much more relevant.
-
Use Question Actions for Additional Workflow Signals: Instead of duplicating the same variables, question actions can identify readiness stage, education needs, or sales-assist needs. That gives HubSpot cleaner routing logic for emails, tasks, and nurture paths.
-
Support SMS-Ready Follow-Up: Collecting phone numbers early gives you the option to support SMS messages, reminders, and multi-channel nurturing as part of a wider HubSpot workflow.
-
Improve Geographic Relevance: Country and City fields help make offers, messaging, service areas, and follow-up more relevant when geography matters.
-
Strengthen the Full Customer Journey: This template helps turn a giveaway into a complete lifecycle marketing workflow by improving lead quantity, first-party data quality, segmentation, timing accuracy, product relevance, SMS readiness, and downstream conversion potential.

- businesses with multiple product or service paths

How to Set Up Your HubSpot Customer Journey Giveaway
-
Set Up the Campaign Basics
Start with this template, then update the campaign title, dates, and prize so the promotion matches your audience and your customer journey objective.
➡ Learn how to set up your competition -
Configure the Pre-Entry Fields
Open the Pre-Entry tab and add the subscriber fields you want to collect before entrants unlock the campaign actions. Start with useful built-in fields such as first name, last name, country, city, phone, and company, then add custom fields where needed for product need, solution type, buying timeline, primary concern, customer type, or other segmentation data.
➡ Learn how to use custom fields -
Enable the Competition Subscriber List
Turn on Build Competition Subscriber List if you want Gleam to keep an internal subscriber list alongside your HubSpot integration. This can help you manage entrant data inside the campaign as well.
➡ Learn how subscriber collection works -
Connect HubSpot and Map Your Subscriber Fields
In the Subscribe to Newsletter action, connect HubSpot and choose the destination where new subscribers should be added. After that, open the custom field mapping settings and map your competition fields to the matching HubSpot properties. This is important because it lets you pass data such as phone, city, company, product need, solution type, buying timing, and primary concern into HubSpot instead of only sending an email address. By mapping these fields properly, you can improve segmentation, personalise workflows, and create more useful email and SMS follow-up.
➡ Set up the HubSpot integration -
Add the Campaign Actions
Build the action stack around your main email growth objective. Use the mandatory Subscribe to Newsletter action as the highest-value conversion step, then support it with question actions that add new workflow-routing signals such as readiness, education stage, or support needs, along with relevant solution-page visit actions, selected follow actions, an Instagram comment action, a viral share action, one secret code action tied to your welcome email, and a second secret code action delivered via SMS. Finish with a Bonus action at the end of the stack to reward entrants who complete all previous actions.

Use the Custom Fields and Question Responses for Segmentation and Workflow Triggers
Use the mapped custom fields for your core segmentation logic, then use the question-action responses to classify contacts by readiness or support need inside HubSpot. This can help you create cleaner segments, recommend the right product or service, and trigger more relevant workflows based on both structured contact data and behavioral responses.

➡ Explore HubSpot -
Customise the Campaign Design
Use the approved HubSpot colour direction, a strong prize-led heading, and a short entrant-facing description that clearly explains the key actions and incentive. -
Promote the Giveaway and Follow Up in HubSpot
Share the campaign across your website, social channels, paid traffic, and existing customer touchpoints. After the campaign ends, use HubSpot to send a winner announcement, a non-winner follow-up, or a personalised workflow based on the profile fields, workflow-routing signals, timing, and actions collected during the giveaway.
