Supercharged Direct Mail Automation for HubSpot: Postalytics Extends Its Lead with Enhanced Integration

Since 2017, Postalytics has led the way in bringing direct mail automation for HubSpot users into the digital age. As the first direct mail platform to build a custom HubSpot integration, we set the standard. Today, with more than three times the number of HubSpot integration installations than any other direct mail provider, we’re excited to announce an updated integration that reaffirms our commitment to the HubSpot ecosystem—and takes automation, data synchronization, and personalization to a new level.

This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a strategic leap forward, unlocking advanced use cases and efficiencies that marketers, nonprofits, agencies and RevOps professionals can harness immediately.

A Refresher: What’s New in the Premium HubSpot Integration

The HubSpot Premium Direct Mail Integration, launched in May 2023 and updated again in 2025, introduces a host of powerful new capabilities:

1. Expanded CRM Object Coverage:

Unlike other direct mail platforms that only work with HubSpot Contacts, the Premium Integration now supports triggered and list-based sends from:

• Companies
• Deals
• Custom Objects

2. Trigger Direct Mail from Advanced Workflows:

With the new Premium setup, users can create drip campaigns triggered from Contact, Company, or Deal-based workflows. You can define sophisticated logic and trigger postcards, letters, or self-mailers just like you would an email.

See setup guide: [HubSpot Premium – How to Trigger Direct Mail from Contact, Company or Deal Object]

3. Full-Fidelity List Imports with Personalization Support:

With just a few clicks, you can import HubSpot lists (Contacts, Companies, or Deals) directly into Postalytics for Smart Send campaigns—complete with up to 35 personalization fields mapped for true 1:1 messaging.

Explore the steps: [HubSpot Premium – Import a HubSpot Contact, Company, or Deals List for a Smart Send Campaign]

4. Real-Time Mail Event Syncing + Timeline Events:

With the Premium integration, you get Postalytics Event Status Codes pushed into HubSpot as custom properties and timeline events. This enables real-time automation in HubSpot based on delivery milestones or engagement with personalized URLs.

HubSpot Premium vs. HubSpot Basic: Why Upgrade?

Not all integrations are created equal. While both Basic and Premium offer the ability to trigger and personalize direct mail within HubSpot, the Premium Integration unlocks a dramatically more powerful set of tools—enabling deeper automation, greater CRM visibility, and more effective reporting.

Here’s how they stack up:

Feature	HubSpot Premium	HubSpot Basic
Import HubSpot Contact Lists	✅	✅
HubSpot Contact Workflows	✅	✅
HubSpot Timeline Integration	✅	❌
Flexible Postalytics Event Integration	✅	❌
HubSpot Activity Event Integration	✅	❌
HubSpot Postal Mail Engagements (Native Activity Type)	✅	❌
Streamlined HubSpot Reporting/Analytics	✅	❌
HubSpot Company Workflows	✅	❌
HubSpot Custom Property Workflows	✅	❌
HS Custom Property Created for Every Campaign	❌	✅

What this means for your team:
If you’re using Basic, every campaign creates a separate custom field in your CRM, which can clutter your data and limit filtering/reporting. With Premium, events are consolidated as timeline activities, unlocking native reporting and streamlined workflows.

---

Why Premium Makes the Difference

Native Activity Logging

Premium logs delivery and engagement events like “Mailed,” “pURL Opened,” and “Processed For Delivery” as timeline activities—ideal for automation and visibility. Basic can only write these as individual custom properties.

Integrated HubSpot Reporting

Premium activity events are classified as Postal Mail Engagements in HubSpot, allowing you to include direct mail in activity-based reports and dashboards.

Multi-Object Automation

Premium supports workflow triggers and data syncing from Companies, Deals, Custom Objects, and Contacts. Basic is limited to Contacts only.

Real-Time Multi-Event Triggers

With Premium, you choose exactly which Postalytics events to track and automate around, including:

• Delivery (ProcessedForDelivery)
• Redirects (ReRouted)
• Digital engagement (pURLOpened, pURLCompleted)

What This Unlocks: Real-World Use Cases with the Premium Integration

Fiber Broadband Marketer: Automated Service Area Campaigns

A regional broadband company can import HubSpot lists segmented by service availability or customer upgrade eligibility. Using the Premium integration, the marketer triggers direct mail offers when a household becomes eligible for fiber upgrades. Paired with a QR code on the mailer and tracked via the pURLCompleted status, they can follow up with automated emails and assign reps based on goal completions.

Workflow Example:

• Trigger a 6×9 postcard when a service address becomes eligible.
• If the pURL is visited but the sign-up isn’t completed in 3 days, trigger a retargeting email and a follow-up sales call.

Account-Based Marketing: Multichannel Targeting at Scale

Use Deal or Company workflows to trigger highly personalized direct mail pieces to key accounts. When combined with digital retargeting and personalized emails, direct mail stands out—especially when timed strategically around pipeline stages.

Example: Trigger a mailer when a Deal stage moves to “Proposal Sent” and follow up with an email two days after “ProcessedForDelivery” status is received.

Nonprofit Donor Engagement: Offline Touches for Greater Impact

For nonprofit organizations using HubSpot, the Premium Integration allows for list-based campaign mailings to lapsed donors, or triggered postcards for new supporter onboarding. Plus, it ensures that delivery and response events are captured on the Contact record.

Example: Automatically mail a personalized thank-you card when a donor completes a pURL associated with an online donation.

Home Services Marketer: Maintenance Reminder & Upsell

A home HVAC company uses Custom Objects in HubSpot to track service appointments and warranty timelines. With the Premium integration, they can automatically send direct mail 11 months after an install, reminding customers to schedule maintenance. If the customer books online via the personalized landing page, that data flows directly into HubSpot for closed-loop follow-up.

Workflow Example:

• Use a Custom Object field for “Installation Date” to trigger a service reminder 330 days later.
• Trigger mailer and then a task for a technician if no response within 7 days of ProcessedForDelivery.

Real Estate Marketer: Just Sold or New Listing Campaigns

A real estate agency uses Company and Deal workflows to automate “Just Sold” or “New Listing” postcards to homes in a specific radius. When a deal closes, a Premium integration campaign triggers direct mail instantly, and logs the event as a Postal Mail Engagement in the timeline of the contact.

Workflow Example:

• Trigger a Just Sold postcard when Deal stage = Closed Won.
• Use HubSpot’s postal mail timeline activity to analyze which types of sales generate the most walk-ins or web interest.

Insurance Marketer: Policy Renewal & Cross-Sell Outreach

An insurance company can use HubSpot Deals and Custom Objects to automate renewal notices or cross-sell offers. For example, when an auto policy is 45 days from expiration, trigger a printed mailer with a bundled home insurance offer. Use pURL tracking to see who engaged and automatically route hot leads to agents.

Workflow Example:

• Trigger mailer 45 days pre-renewal.
• If pURLCompleted, move contact to high-intent list and notify account owner.

Mortgage Lending Company: Lead Nurturing from CRM Events

A mortgage lender uses Contact workflows to nurture cold or mid-funnel leads. If a user downloads a rate sheet but hasn’t re-engaged in 14 days, they trigger a personalized letter that includes a local loan officer’s name and a QR code to apply. Using Premium’s timeline events, the marketing team sees which mailers are driving conversions directly in HubSpot dashboards.

Workflow Example:

• Trigger direct mail 14 days after form fill if no new interaction.
• Filter automation based on Lead Score and pURLOpened to personalize loan offer messaging.

Sales Enablement: High-Intent Lead Alerts

The integration allows Sales teams to receive notifications via HubSpot workflows when a mail recipient completes a Goal URL. Combine this with phone, email, or social outreach for timely follow-ups.

Example: Trigger a HubSpot task or Slack message when the “pURLCompleted” status code is logged.

Deep Dive: Event Status Codes That Power Automation

Postalytics provides granular event tracking for U.S. and Canadian mailings. U.S. mailings, in particular, benefit from over a dozen status codes. These are synced directly into HubSpot and can power advanced automation such as:

• Email follow-ups precisely two days after delivery (ProcessedForDelivery)
• Lead scoring based on pURL activity (pURLOpened, pURLCompleted)
• Sales tasks triggered by delivery events or address failures (ReturnedToSender, ReRouted)

• Delivery transparency on every mail piece
