HubSpot Workflow Not Enrolling Contacts

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Use the built-in troubleshooter

   Copy steps
   1. Open the workflow
   2. Click Help > Troubleshoot enrollment
   3. Select the record and timeframe to see why it was or wasn't enrolled
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Enroll existing records

   Copy steps
   1. Manually enroll the list's existing records in the workflow editor
   2. Or choose to enroll existing records the next time you turn the workflow on
   3. Check version history to see when triggers changed
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Check goals, suppression and unenrollment

   Copy steps
   1. Review the goal criteria, suppression list and unenrollment triggers
   2. Check whether a connection setting removes the contact from this workflow when it enrolls elsewhere
   Did this fix it? Yes No

4. 4. Turn on re-enrollment

   Copy steps
   1. Add re-enrollment triggers if the record was enrolled before
   2. For form triggers, confirm the correct form is selected and check any time-based criteria
   Did this fix it? Yes No

5. 5. Merged records and date filters

   Copy steps
   1. Turn on the setting that enrolls merged records automatically
   2. Expect delays for date-based filters; they evaluate at the start of the day
   3. Make sure the workflow is actually on: Review and publish > Turn on
   Did this fix it? Yes No

Symptoms

Contacts, deals or companies that should enter a workflow don't, or they enroll and immediately drop out.

Why it happens

• Record doesn't meet the enrollment trigger (AND/OR logic)
• List-based workflow turned on after the record joined the list
• Existing records weren't enrolled at activation
• Record met goal, is suppressed, or meets unenrollment triggers
• Re-enrollment is off
• Merged records don't enroll by default
• Date filters like 'more than X days ago' are checked only at start of day
