How to round-robin route new HubSpot leads and notify reps in Slack
Automatically distribute new inbound leads equally across your SDR team in HubSpot and send each rep a Slack DM the moment a lead is assigned to them.
Why automate lead routing?
Speed-to-lead is one of the strongest predictors of conversion. Studies show that responding within 5 minutes makes you 100x more likely to connect than waiting 30 minutes. Manual lead assignment creates delays — the lead sits in a queue while managers figure out who should get it.
Automated round-robin routing with Slack notifications ensures:
- Every lead is assigned instantly, no queue
- Distribution is fair and equal across the team
- The assigned rep gets a Slack DM within seconds
- No leads fall through the cracks
What you'll need
- HubSpot account with API access
- Slack workspace with the bot added to your team's workspace
- A list of SDR/rep HubSpot owner IDs and their Slack user IDs
