7 Troubleshooting

8 FAQs
I have an active integration, but I don’t see the trigger or actions. Why?
The journey must be tied to the same audience as your HubSpot integration. If the audiences don’t match, the trigger and actions won’t be available. You can check the audience within the Details tab of your integration.
Can I listen to multiple event types in one Deal event trigger?
No, each trigger supports one event type. To trigger a journey with multiple event types, add a separate trigger for each.
Can I create HubSpot leads from a journey?
No. The pipeline actions create and update HubSpot deals only. HubSpot leads aren’t supported as journey actions.
Why can’t I start my journey?
Journeys won’t start if steps are incomplete. Review each step; any unconfigured step will show an exclamation mark in the top-right.
