I met @andruspurde a few years back when he was just starting to talk to people about this product. Absolutely the right person with the right experience to be building it, and such a great product he and the team have built over the last few years. Congratulations :)
Andrus Purde
@robinwarren Indeed, I had just kicked off customer development when we met! And thank you once again for recommending me "The Mom Test"! Who knows, had you not recommended it, perhaps there'd be nothing to launch here today :)
Andrus Purde
Why would anyone (sane) build yet another marketing automation tool? There are dozens of really good marketing tools, but they are difficult to connect to your sales stack. There are also many monolithic tools that do “everything” but they’re increasingly hard to use, and come with a hefty price tag. As a result, SMBs struggle to get sales and marketing working together. So we built Outfunnel, the marketing tool that drives revenue in at least three ways. First, our secret sauce: ridiculously deep integrations with CRMs (Pipedrive and Copper, Hubspot CRM coming soon). Access all your CRM contacts, tags and custom fields. Sync email and web events back to the sales tool. Second, our email automation features are designed to be used where sales and marketing need to work together. So you can: * Get web and email engagement based lead scoring synced to your CRM * Use contact owner from the CRM as sender of the email * Track replies in addition to opens and clicks * See revenue metrics in addition to usual campaign stats Third, Outfunnel unifies web, email and CRM data to provide useful insights. For example, you can see which traffic sources convert best for your business. Over to you, Producthunt community. Keen to hear your questions, feedback and suggestions!

Hubspot has been pushing the sales + marketing angle for a while. How does Outfunnel compare to Hubspot Marketing?
Markus Leming
@sotak Great question. Outfunnel is somewhat a lite version of Hubspot but without the bloat and oversized cost. In other words if you are a SMB that is looking for a no-hassle marketing tool that works together with your CRM but don't want the overhead then Outfunnel would be the ideal candidate. And while sales+marketing angle will be key we are looking to push the envelope further by starting the next stage in the evolution with revenue marketing.

It's worth signing up even just to be inspired by @andruspurde 's great copywriting skills that defined the personality of Pipedrive and now Outfunnel. Congrats on the launch on PH!
Andrus Purde
@sandersaar Thank you :) Haven't done enough copywriting lately but this encouraged me to get back into the game more.
Peep Laja
Looks like just what the doctor ordered. Hubspot integration is def welcome, my personal wishlist would be a native CDP integration (e.g. hull.io) to avoid data silos.
Andrus Purde
@peeplaja Good point. We're definitely be adding more data sources, but we've seen that for many small businesses / startups even having sales and web/email data in one place is a huge win.
Tigran Hakobyan
Great team behind a wonderful product! And as many have already stated here, an integration with Hubspot CRM would be amazing :)
Markus Leming
@tigranhakobian we hear you Tigran and will let you know as soon as we have the Hubspot integration out :)
Jeremiah Smith
Congrats team!
Johannes Kanter
Looking forward for the Hubspot integration!
Andrus Purde
@johanneskanter Noted! And for the record it's Hubspot CRM integration we're working on (rather than Hubspot Marketing that we offer an alternative for)
Stefanie Grieser
Respect + look up to Andrus a lot. "Why would anyone (sane) build yet another marketing automation tool?" 🤣 (a question I asked myself as well. Especially when looking at Scott Brinker's MarTech landscape). But Andrus knows this problem intimately (he spent 7 years at Pipedrive).
Andrus Purde
@smgrieser Indeed, being on that slide among 7600 other tools is quite intimidating. (And last year we didn't even make it to the slide). And we don't have all the answers yet, but this much I know that digging in the right place / pain point for long enough and with a great team is a good starting point. Onwards from here then. And thank you for the kind words!
Federico Wengi
Great to see Outfunnel on PD! Curious to know when Hubspot integration will be live?
Markus Leming
@federicowengi we're hoping to have the first MVP version out by end of July and have everything up and running properly by end of August. Happy to reach out when we have something ready to test - keen to get early feedback.
Cesar Zeppini
Me and Andrus worked together at Pipedrive and if there is anybody that can build the best automated marketing tool out there, it's Andrus. And what a great user experience!
Etienne Garbugli
The new release looks great. Can't wait to try it for HubSpot! :-)
Andrus Purde
@egarbugli Thank you! Will let you know once we have something to show / use.
Peedu Tuisk
Looking good! Already recommended it to a friend :)
Lucjan Kierczak
I’ve been watching outfunnel since its early days when @andruspurde started the customer development process, great to see how the tool is developing!
Andrus Purde
@lucjankierczak Thank you for taking the time to be one of the 100+ people I interviewed before we even started product planning! Building a startup would be sooooo much harder if the community wouldn't be as supportive..
Philippe Vella
This looks great. Signed up and integrated within minutes. I've been looking for something just like this specifically for Hubspot CRM so very keen to try it out!
Markus Leming
@dogwithabone Easy of use is one of our main cornerstones :) And good to note that we're still busy building the Hubspot CRM integration but should have the first version out soon. Until then you can already use Outfunnel with Pipedrive, Copper or uploading your contacts directly.
Joao Rei
Great tool! Congrats on all the new features. Can't recommend this enough to all my clients and teams I work with. Well done to the team behind it!
Andrus Purde
@jcrei Cheers Joao!
Ott Ilves
I second the sentiment that Outfunnel is the real deal - the right people are behind the right product. Andrus and the rest of the team have years of experience working in both sales and marketing (and building tools that enable doing that better) and Outfunnel neatly ties them together.
Sander Gansen
Use it for both marketing and investor communications - love it.
Finally, some guys that listen to marketers and sales reps. We need easy integrations, a clear understanding and a point system to manage our MQL. Thanks, guys!
Markus Leming
@felipe_millan The only way forward is together 💪
Walter Chen
Looks good! If the tool connects traffic sources to closed revenue, do you also have plans to show which landing pages or content pieces assist sales most?
Markus Leming
@smalter Absolutely - this is the holy grail of bringing sales+marketing together and something we're looking to get to very soon :)
