Overview
As your campaigns start scaling, assigning leads to the right sales rep becomes critical.
Good news: you no longer need to build complex HubSpot workflows to make this happen. With the new Contact owner mapping feature in La Growth Machine, you can directly map each LGM identity to a HubSpot owner.
The result? As soon as a lead is created in HubSpot through a campaign, it is automatically assigned to the right sales rep.
Simple. Clean. Automatic.
Key benefits
Automatic assignment as soon as a lead enters a campaign
No workflow logic to build or maintain inside HubSpot
Better lead distribution based on the identity used
Cleaner pipeline and clearer ownership
Scalable setup for multi-rep teams
Understanding how HubSpot assignment works
Quick reminder about the native LGM integration
When the HubSpot integration is enabled, La Growth Machine automatically creates or updates contacts.
At the beginning of each campaign, LGM checks if the lead already exists using:
The identified email
First name + Last name + Company name
If the contact does not exist, it is automatically created.
All activities are then synced into HubSpot:
LinkedIn invitations
LinkedIn messages
LinkedIn replies
Sent emails
Email replies
Calls
Conversions

How does contact owner mapping work?
The Contact owner mapping feature allows you to define:
“When this LGM identity creates a lead, assign it to this HubSpot owner.”
It works at the identity level.
Example:
Paul (LGM Identity) → Paul Martin (HubSpot Owner)
Sarah (LGM Identity) → Sarah Lopez (HubSpot Owner)
This way, every lead created through their activity is automatically assigned to the right owner.
How to configure contact owner mapping
Step 1: Open the mapping settings
In Settings → CRM settings → HubSpot
Open the: Contact owner mapping tab
Step 2: Match your identities
For each identity:
Select the LGM identity
Choose the matching HubSpot owner
Click Save
That’s it.
From now on, every new lead created will follow this mapping automatically.
Important rule to know
LGM never overwrites an existing owner.
That means:
No owner on the contact → LGM applies the mapping
Owner already exists → LGM leaves it untouched
In both cases:
Activities continue syncing normally
The lead remains fully synced with LGM
Why is this better than HubSpot workflows?
Before this feature, you had to:
Create a HubSpot workflow
Define an LGM-based trigger
Add branches
Manage rotation rules
Maintain the workflow over time
Now:
The setup is native
Faster to configure
Easier to maintain
Less room for errors
HubSpot workflows are still useful for other automations, but they are no longer needed for simple lead assignment.
Use cases
Multi-rep sales teams
Each SDR or AE uses their own LGM identity.
With owner mapping:
Every created lead goes directly into the right pipeline
Each owner keeps visibility on their own leads
No manual redistribution needed
Q&A
Do I still need to create a HubSpot workflow to assign my leads
Do I still need to create a HubSpot workflow to assign my leads
No. Contact owner mapping replaces that need in most cases.
Can LGM overwrite an existing owner?

No. If an owner is already assigned, LGM will never modify it.
Can I map multiple identities to the same owner?
Can I map multiple identities to the same owner?
Yes. Multiple LGM identities can point to the same HubSpot owner.
Does the mapping work for existing contacts?
Does the mapping work for existing contacts?
No. It only applies if the contact does not already have an owner at the time of sync.
