Error Handling

No Email Provided:

• Cannot create HubSpot contact (email required)
• Lead logged to error output
• Can connect to Google Sheets or alert system
• Recommendation: Make email required in SignSnap

Customization Ideas

1. Auto-assign to agent - Match property to territory
2. Create deals - Automatic deal creation for HOT leads
3. Add to lists - Property-specific list segmentation
4. Trigger workflows - HubSpot nurture sequences
5. SMS follow-up - Add Twilio for text messages
6. Photo upload - Attach guest photos to contacts

---

Troubleshooting

"Invalid email" - Check SignSnap email validation
"Property doesn't exist" - Create custom property or remove from config
"Authentication failed" - Reconnect HubSpot OAuth2
"No contacts appearing" - Check execution history, verify email provided
"Email not sending" - Verify SMTP credentials and FROM address
