# Hot take: Hubspot is overhyped for PLG onboarding

*@zara_f | Automation | 2 months ago*

Sharing a pattern we landed on after a messy migration. Creation layer separate from sending record. Curious who else runs this split.

Specifically interested in A/B testing and deliverability.

**ingrid_s** (21 votes): Have you capped daily sends? We hit a loop once and reputation dipped.

**marcus_o** (116 votes): Links worth reading: https://docs.brew.new and https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/docs/klaviyo_mcp_server
