Create HubSpot tasks from Slack messages

HubSpot gives your business one place to manage marketing, sales, and customer service — instead of juggling five or six different apps. You get a free CRM (customer relationship manager) that tracks every contact, email, and deal in one view. Over 278,000 companies already use it, from solo founders to mid-size teams. The free plan is genuinely useful. You get contact management, email marketing (up to 2,000 emails per month), live chat, basic bots, forms, and reporting dashboards — no credit card required. When you're ready for more, the Starter plan begins at $9 per month per seat, which adds automation and removes HubSpot branding. Here's the catch: the jump from Starter to Professional is steep. Pro starts at $800 per month plus a mandatory $3,000 onboarding fee. That's a big leap for a small team. But if you're growing fast and need advanced workflows, lead scoring, and social media tools, it can replace three or four separate subscriptions and actually save you money.
