Overview
SE Ranking marketers tested ChatGPT Agent for downloading HubSpot reports and other marketing tasks.
Workflow
The ChatGPT Agent navigated to HubSpot's 2025 State of Marketing Report, autonomously filled out the lead generation form, downloaded the PDF, and generated a summary. For tasks requiring authentication, such as logging into SE Ranking, the Agent paused and requested human intervention to input credentials before proceeding with data retrieval. The workflow combined autonomous web interaction with mandatory human oversight for security-sensitive steps.
Reported result
Out of five tests, only two were fully successful. The Agent successfully downloaded and summarized the HubSpot report but failed to email the summary because Google blocked access due to an unsupported browser. In another test, the Agent required user takeover for login credentials but completed the subsequent keyword analysis task efficiently once inside.
Human role
Users select tasks, handle logins, and must verify personal information and external sending before submission.
Limitations
Success depends heavily on website structure; complex or non-standard forms cause delays or failures. Platform security measures, such as Google's browser restrictions, can block automated actions like sending emails. Human intervention is strictly required for credential entry, and users must verify that no personal data is improperly submitted.
Try it
Act as a marketing analyst using ChatGPT Agent. Task: Retrieve and summarize a public, form-gated report. Input: [URL of report, e.g., HubSpot State of Marketing]. Steps: 1. Navigate to the URL. 2. Identify and fill the lead form with [dummy business email/name]. 3. Download the file. 4. Summarize key findings. 5. Stop before sending any emails. Constraints: Do not use real personal credentials. If login is required, pause and ask me to input credentials. Verify the summary accuracy against the downloaded file. Output: A concise executive summary and the source file link. Measure success by: Form completion without errors, file download, and summary relevance. If the site blocks the Agent, report the specific error.
