If new HubSpot leads are still being shared by hand, this walkthrough shows a faster way.

This video explains how to send new HubSpot leads to Slack automatically with Zapier. It covers the full setup for first-time users: create a new Zap, choose HubSpot as the trigger, select the New Contact event, and test it.

From there, the video shows how to add Slack as the action app, use Send Channel Message, choose the right sales channel, and map a contact field like first name into the message text.

That field mapping step is what makes the workflow useful in practice: each Slack message can include the real details from every new contact, instead of a generic alert.

Once the test message arrives in Slack, the final step is simple: publish the Zap and confirm it to turn the automation on.

One trigger, one action, and new leads reach the team automatically. Watch the video to see the setup step by step. #Zapier #HubSpot #Slack

## A simple way to route new leads to Slack

If a team relies on HubSpot to capture new contacts and Slack to coordinate follow-up, it helps to connect the two. This video walks through how to send new HubSpot leads to Slack automatically with Zapier, using a straightforward workflow that first-time users can follow.

Rather than checking for new contacts manually or posting updates by hand, the automation sends a message to a chosen Slack channel whenever a new contact appears in HubSpot.

## What the video covers

The setup starts with a new Zap in Zapier. HubSpot is selected as the trigger app, and the **New Contact** event is chosen so the workflow starts whenever a new lead is created. After that, the trigger is tested to make sure Zapier can pull in a sample contact.

Next comes the action step. Slack is selected as the action app, and the action used is **Send Channel Message**. The video shows how to choose a destination channel, such as a sales channel, so the right team sees each new lead.

## Why field mapping matters

One of the most useful parts of the setup is field mapping. In the example, the contact’s first name is mapped into the Slack message text.

That means the message is populated with real contact details from HubSpot instead of sending the same generic notification every time. For teams that want lead alerts to be immediately useful, this is the step that turns a basic notification into something actionable.

## From test to live automation

After the message is configured, the workflow is tested in Slack. Once the test message lands in the selected channel, the final step is to click **Publish** and confirm the dialog to make the Zap live.

From that point on, the setup is simple: one trigger, one action, and new leads are sent to the team automatically.
