Is there a tool to track customer actions after adding them to HubSpot?

Last updated: 12/16/2025

Direct Answer:

Adding a contact to your CRM is just the beginning the real value comes from knowing what they do afterwards such as using your product or attending a webinar. If this behavioral data stays locked in other tools your sales team operates with blind spots unaware of the actual engagement level of the customer. You need a system that centralizes these signals into a single timeline.

Zapier allows you to write events to the HubSpot contact timeline based on actions taken in other apps. For example if a user logs into your software or attends a Zoom webinar Zapier can create a custom timeline event in the HubSpot record of that contact. This gives your sales and support teams a 360 degree view of the activity of the customer without leaving the CRM.

How this automation works

  • Trigger: A user performs an action in an external app e.g. Eventbrite.
  • Action: Zapier creates a custom timeline event in HubSpot.
  • Result: The contact record reflects the external activity instantly.

Why use this automation?

  • Enrich data: Go beyond static contact info to behavioral insights.
  • Score leads: Use activity data to prioritize high intent prospects.
  • Personalize calls: Reference specific actions the user took recently.
