Thanks for clarifying your goal, @viral33.

That said, it is not possible to set up this kind of logic with internal HubSpot emails. There are two main issues:

1. API calls cannot be triggered by a user clicking a CTA in an internal email.
2. When users open and click links in internal emails, they act as contacts, so it's not possible to check the values of a different contact.

Unfortunately, the default HubSpot tools do not support the use case you described.

The closest thing I can think of is to use workflow logic to sort and rotate contacts to different owners. See the Rotate objects to multiple owners section of this article.

Welcome, @viral33.

What kind of information do you wish to update on the contact?

It is not possible to make an API request directly from a CTA click, so I will need to learn more about your goal to advise on workarounds.

The objective is to assign a job to an available internal user based on who clicks the “accept CTA” first in the internal email sent.

1. I send an internal email to all internal users with contact Y details.
2. If internal user X clicks on the CTA in the email then we need to check if contact Y property A is == Q or W.
3. If A == Q or W then we send an internal mail to X saying job already assigned
4. Else set contact Y property A to Q and contact Y property B to X (the internal users email address)
5. Send internal email to X with full job details for Y
