Stale CRM data quietly erodes everything built on top of it. This workflow asks contacts to confirm the details you already hold, collects corrections in the same thread, and writes clean properties back to HubSpot, then sets a freshness flag so you know the record is current.

What this workflow does
Contacts in a stale-data segment receive a confirmation Flow showing the email, mobile, and address on file. They either confirm the details are correct or update the ones that have changed, with corrections syncing to HubSpot on submit. A single nudge follows after a week of no response, and the freshness flag (last-confirmed date) is set either way so you can target the next refresh accurately.
What you will need
- A WhatsApp Flow template for confirming and correcting contact details
- A HubSpot active list of stale records (for example, last confirmed more than 12 months ago)
- A last-confirmed date property to act as the freshness flag
Workflow steps
- Trigger list membership for the stale-data segment, or an annual refresh date property.
- Send confirm Flow show the details on file and offer one-tap confirm or per-field update.
- Wait for completion delay until Form Completed, up to 7 days.
- Branch, confirmed or corrected write any corrections, set the last-confirmed date to today, send a brief thank-you.
- Branch, no response at 7 days send a single friendly nudge noting it takes under a minute. If still no response, leave the freshness flag unset so the record stays in the next refresh.

Tips and gotchas
One reminder is enough. Data refresh is a low-stakes ask, so a single nudge keeps reply rates healthy without nagging. The freshness flag does the rest by scoping who gets asked next time.
