Do you work from the sales pipeline in HubSpot on a daily basis, but lose track due to the amount of information on your screen? Or are you missing just that one crucial feature that allows you to move faster?
In this video, Stan shows you how to fully customize the updated Deal Cards. HubSpot now offers more flexibility than ever to visually streamline your pipeline.
Great news for marketing and sales teams:Custom Events are no longer exclusive to Enterprise customers. From now on, all Professional users also have access to this powerful feature.
Why this is important
Most critical customer moments take place outside of HubSpot's standard metrics. Think of a user activating a specific core feature in your software, a shopper leaving a configured shopping cart, or a visitor scanning their badge at your trade show booth.
Previously, these signals often remained "invisible" in your CRM. With Custom Events, you bring all of these moments directly to HubSpot. Why is that important?
Here's how it works
You'll find the new functionality under Settings > Data Management > Custom Events. Here you can create new event definitions and manage which properties (properties) belong to each event. To send data to HubSpot, you have several options:
Once the data flows in, you can immediately use it as an enrollment trigger in workflows, incorporate it into custom reports or use it to build specific segments (lists).

HubSpot is taking the next step in streamlining customer service. The Reply Recommendations and Customer Agent features are being merged into one powerful experience. This not only means a clearer dashboard, but also smarter AI suggestions for your support team.
Why this is important
The challenge for any support team is speed versus quality. You want to help customers right away, but with the right personal touch and correct information. Integrating Reply Recommendations into the Customer Agent environment solves this:
Here's how it works
The workflow in the Help Desk has been improved. Instead of in the editor, recommendations now appear directly in the ticket-thread as a preview.
Important date: The migration was on March 10. Are you currently already using Reply Recommendations, but not yet a Customer Agent? Then pay attention:

Every sales opportunity counts, but the payoff is often in the preparation and follow-up. HubSpot is therefore introducing the updated, smart Sales Meetings within the Sales Workspace. This is the central place to manage prospects, including AI-driven insights before the meeting and automated action items after the meeting.
Why this matters
Success in sales depends on the quality of your conversations. Too often, valuable information is lost because the focus is on taking notes rather than on the prospect. With this update, HubSpot supports you at every stage:
This is how it works
You will find the new functionality in the Sales Workspace. The updated meeting record consists of two crucial components:
1. Info & Insights (The Preparation): This is where you gather all the ammunition for your conversation:
2. Recording & Transcript (The follow-up)After the meeting, HubSpot helps you keep the momentum going:

This functionality (currently in Public Beta) is available for: Sales Hub Professional and Sales Hub Enterprise.
Manually adding products to each new deal is now a thing of the past. HubSpot has launched a powerful new workflow action that lets you automatically add line items (product lines) to deals. With this, you bring product None and pricing logic directly into your automations, dramatically speeding up your sales process.
Why this is important
Previously, creating a deal through a workflow was just the first step; sales or ops teams then had to manually link the right products and quantities. This caused delays and an increased risk of human error. With this new automation, you can:
Here's how it works
Setting up this automation is easy within the familiar workflow interface:
Once the workflow is running, the line item is automatically created and linked to the corresponding deal. The system uses the current data from your product library for this purpose.

In a busy support environment, overview is the key to success. Sometimes a ticket simply isn't ready for processing yet-for example, because you're waiting for an external partner, or because a customer won't be available until next week. With the new Snooze feature in HubSpot Help Desk, support staff can temporarily remove tickets from their view, only to have them reappear at exactly the right time.
Why this matters
Prioritization is top sport for support agents. An overflowing inbox with tickets that are "on hold" creates cognitive load and slows down the processing of urgent matters. With Snooze functionality:
Here's how it works
Snoozing a ticket is simple and intuitive:
Two modes can be chosen:
Note: Changing the snooze mode in the settings causes all currently snoozed tickets to be 'woken up' immediately.

Reusing successful email campaigns is a smart strategy, but until recently, it often meant manually rebuilding associated automations. With HubSpot's latest update, that's a thing of the past: you can now directly co-copy Simple Workflows when you clone a marketing email.
Why this is important
Previously, cloning an email resulted in an incomplete copy; the text and design were there, but the underlying logic (such as adding a contact to a list after a click) was left behind. This made for repetitive work and a greater chance of errors when manually resetting. With this update:
The process is fully integrated into your normal workflow within the email tool:
Note: This option appears only for regular emails that already have at least one 'Simple Workflow' linked to them. For automated emails (automated) or emails without workflows, you will see the default clone screen.

Do you regularly host webinars through Zoom or live events through Eventbrite? Then you know that keeping an overview within your campaigns is crucial. HubSpot has given the Marketing Event Cards in the Marketing Studio (formerly Campaigns) a major upgrade. You now see key event details directly on the card, without having to open additional tabs.
Why this is important
Previously, the maps in the Marketing Studio interface barely showed any information. It was difficult to distinguish between different events at a glance. This caused unnecessary clicking to check simple things like a start date or the number of registrations. With this update:
Each Marketing Event canvas now automatically displays the following details:
This subtle but powerful change makes navigating complex marketing campaigns a lot easier and more intuitive.

Nothing is more frustrating for a marketing team than a campaign that is ready to go, but gets stuck in the approval process. HubSpot is now introducing the ability to add a deadline to approval requests.
Why this is important
Approval requests without a deadline date often lead to delays. Without a clear priority, requests remain in the approver's inbox, resulting in last-minute stress or missing important launch dates. With setting a deadline:
Here's how it works
Adding a deadline is a simple step in submitting your work:
