Conclusion
HubSpot is an all‑in‑one growth platform that brings together marketing, sales, customer service, and CRM tools in a single, unified system. It enables email sending through its marketing email tools and transactional email capabilities, using HubSpot’s email delivery infrastructure and API-based sending methods.
If you want to test email deliverability through HubSpot using GlockApps, this tutorial will guide you step-by-step, from uploading your seed list to sending a test email and analyzing results. This is a crucial practice for marketers looking to ensure inbox placement and minimize spam folder issues.
Part I: Import GlockApps Seed List into HubSpot CRM
To get accurate test results, you must import a clean seed list of GlockApps mailboxes that is kept separate from your main contact list.
Step 1: Start a New Import
- Navigate to CRM → Lists in your HubSpot dashboard

- Click the "Import" button

- Choose "Import a file"

- Click "Start Import"

- Select “Contacts” as the type of data. Leave the “Activities” option unchecked.

Now it's time to gather your seed list from GlockApps.
Step 2: Get Your Seed List from GlockApps
- Open GlockApps in a new tab.
- Navigate to Reports → Start Test, and choose the ESPs (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) you want to test.

- Once your seed list appears, click "Download" — it will be saved as a CSV by default.

- Optional: To preserve credits, go back to GlockApps and click "Cancel Test and Return Credit".

Step 3: Upload the Seed List File to HubSpot
- Return to the HubSpot tab and upload the CSV you downloaded.
- Import settings:
- Choose "Create and update Contacts"
- Do not check the box for "Same-object associations"
- Select "English" for column headers

- HubSpot should auto-detect the email column. Confirm that the property is mapped to “Email.”

- Name the import and tick both checkboxes for consent.

- Click "Finish"

To verify your import, go to CRM → Lists, and click the list you just created to view contact details.

Part II: Send a Test Email to Your Seed List
With your seed list now in HubSpot, you’re ready to send a test email to evaluate deliverability through the HubSpot email sending infrastructure..
Step 1: Create a Test Email.
- Navigate to Marketing → Email, then click "Create Email"

- Choose "Regular" email type.

- Design your email using any template. The key requirement: add your GlockApps Test ID to the content.

To get your Test ID:
- Go back to GlockApps, start a test, and copy the ID shown at the end of the setup process.

Step 2: Configure Email Settings
- Go to the Settings tab:
- Enter your From Name and From Email
- Add a Subject Line
- Ensure your Office Location is filled in (required by HubSpot)

Step 3: Send the Test Email
- Go to the "Send or Schedule" tab.
- Choose your previously created GlockApps list as the recipient list.
- Important: Turn off “Don’t send to unengaged contacts” — this could prevent emails from reaching seed addresses.
- Choose “Send Now”, then click “Review and Send.”

- Confirm and click “Send.”

Step 4: View Sending Results and Analyze
- After the email is sent through HubSpot SMTP infrastructure, you will be redirected to a results screen showing how many emails were delivered.

- Return to GlockApps to view full deliverability results for the spam test.

Note: Deliverability test results in GlockApps may take up to 10 minutes to appear when using HubSpot, as the platform sends emails sequentially.
Important: If HubSpot fails to send emails to certain mailboxes due to "unsubscribed" status, follow this guide to manage or resubscribe those contacts:
Conclusion
HubSpot integration with GlockApps allows you to accurately test email deliverability across a wide range of ESPs. By following this workflow, you ensure your messages are hitting inboxes, not spam folders.
