Sales Automation #1113: Social Media Posting with Intercom + HubSpot + Bannerbear

Problem

Reps lose time copying social media posting updates from Intercom into HubSpot, which delays follow-ups and skews pipeline reporting.

This pattern connects the stack so sales data stays in sync without manual exports.

Workflow

Intercom stage change → map pipeline fields → upsert HubSpot → log activity for social media posting.
