CRM Hygiene - Automatic Contact Refresh
Automatically keep your CRM data fresh and accurate by detecting job changes, updating outdated contact records, and preventing bounced outreach.
This template helps you maintain a clean and accurate CRM by automating the process of tracking your contacts' career moves.
The automation performs the following steps:
- Connects to HubSpot: It begins by accessing the HubSpot contact list you specify.
- Fetches Contacts: It reads the contacts from your list, gathering key details like their name, current job title, company, and email.
- Enriches Data: Each contact is then processed through a B2B enrichment service to find their most current employment information.
- Detects Job Changes: The automation compares the fresh data from the enrichment service with the data in your HubSpot record. It identifies any discrepancies in job titles or company names.
- Updates HubSpot Intelligently: For any contact with a detected job change, the automation updates their record in HubSpot with the new information. It includes a specific rule to only update the contact's email address if their company has changed, preventing unwanted email changes for internal promotions.
- Handles Errors: If an update fails due to a duplicate email address in HubSpot, the automation smartly retries the update without the email, ensuring the job title and company are still corrected.
- Provides a Summary: At the end of the run, you receive a detailed summary of how many contacts were scanned, how many job changes were detected, and which contacts were successfully updated.
Usage Ideas
- Automate CRM Data Cleaning: Schedule this automation to run periodically to keep your contact database fresh and reduce manual data entry.

- Improve Marketing Segmentation: Ensure your marketing campaigns are targeted effectively with up-to-date job titles and company information.
Customization Ideas
This template is a powerful starting point that can be tailored to your specific sales and marketing operations. You have the flexibility to:
- Target Any List: Choose any of your HubSpot contact lists to scan and update.
- Control the Scale: Decide whether to run the automation on a small batch of contacts for a quick test or on the entire list.
- Customize Update Logic: You can change the rules for when a contact's information gets updated. For example, you could decide to always update the email address, not just when the company changes.
- Adapt to Your HubSpot Setup: Adjust which HubSpot fields are read and written to, ensuring the template works perfectly with your specific CRM configuration.
