Update 1: HubSpot Deal Cards this is how to optimally set up your Sales Pipeline

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.

Update 2: Custom Events now available

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?

  • Intelligent Lead Scoring: Score leads based on real product usage instead of just website visits.
  • Hyper-Personalized Workflows: Trigger automations as soon as someone reaches a specific threshold (e.g., "has downloaded 5 reports").
  • Prevent Churn: Signal in time when usage of your platform is declining and allow Customer Success to be notified automatically.
  • Complete Overview: Link data from tools like Pendo, Segment or Amplitude directly to your HubSpot contacts for a 360-degree customer view.

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:

  1. APIs & Webhooks: For seamless synchronization with your own software or third-party apps.
  2. Integration Partners: Use supported partners to fire through events without heavy code.
  3. Event Visualizer: Use Javascript or the visualizer for specific interactions on your website (such as scroll depth or video views).
  4. Import: It is even possible to import static interaction data manually.

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).

Update 3: A central place for Reply Recommendations & Customer Agent

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:

  • Human-in-the-loop: Your team gets AI-generated reply suggestions based on your own knowledge base, but retains complete control. You can review, edit and then send the draft.
  • Higher quality: Using a more sophisticated AI model, suggestions are more personalized, complete and accurate than before.
  • Low threshold for AI: You can take advantage of the Customer Agent's brainpower without immediately putting an autonomous bot live on your website. It's the perfect way to build trust in AI outputs.
  • No additional cost: Good to know: using Reply Recommendations does not consume any Service Seat credits.

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.

  1. Preview & Sources: You immediately see the suggested answer as well as the sources where the AI got the information.
  2. Edit or Dismiss: Click 'Edit' to load the text in your editor or 'Dismiss' to ignore the suggestion.
  3. Manage: Settings and content sources are no longer managed in the Helpdesk settings, but centrally through the Customer Agent App under the 'Deployment' section.

Important date: The migration was on March 10. Are you currently already using Reply Recommendations, but not yet a Customer Agent? Then pay attention:

  • On March 10 , a Customer Agent was automatically created for your portal.
  • This will have the internal name "Reply Recommendations" and a "friendly" tone-of-voice (both of which you can change later).
  • Important: This migration does not automatically put an independent botDit live on your website. It only consolidates the settings to a smarter model.

Update 4: Manage the entire Meeting Lifecycle in the Sales Workspace

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:

  • Optimal Preparation: Get instant insight into the prospect's previous interactions, website visits and detected "pain points" before you start the conversation.
  • Focus on the Deal: Thanks to the Sales Meeting Notetaker, every conversation is automatically recorded and transcribed. You no longer have to co-write, making you 100% present in the conversation.
  • No forgotten follow-up: After the meeting, the AI immediately generates a summary and concrete action points. No more doubts about the "next steps.

 

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:

  • Prospecting Agent Updates: View previous interactions between the prospect and your AI agent.
  • Pain Points & Tips: Discover pain points from previous conversations and get suggestions based on industry data.
  • Web Page Visits: See exactly which pages the prospect has recently viewed to gauge their interest.

2. Recording & Transcript (The follow-up)After the meeting, HubSpot helps you keep the momentum going:

  • AI Summary: A detailed summary of the topics discussed.
  • Guided Follow-up: Click directly on a link to send an email, start a call or trigger a sequence.
  • Generated Tasks: The AI extracts action items from the conversation and suggests creating tasks for them immediately.

This functionality (currently in Public Beta) is available for: Sales Hub Professional and Sales Hub Enterprise.

Update 5: Automate your Deal setup with Line Items via Workflows.

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:

  • Automate complete Deal setup: As soon as a trigger goes off (for example, a form submission or a phase change), the deal is immediately ready with the right products.
  • Ensure Consistency: Ensure that standard packages, onboarding fees or mandatory service items are always added with the correct quantity and price.
  • Build Advanced Revenue Workflows: Consider automatically adding a "Setup Fee" with every new SaaS contract or a standard "Maintenance Bundle" with physical products.
  • Eliminate Errors: No more manual entry means no more incorrect SKUs or forgotten extras.

Here's how it works

Setting up this automation is easy within the familiar workflow interface:

  1. Create a Deal-based workflow: Select your trigger (e.g., "Deal Stage is Qualified").
  2. Add the action: Select the new action "Add line item to Deal".
  3. Configure your product: Select the desired product from your HubSpot Product Library and set the default number (quantity).

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.

Update 6: Bring focus to your Help Desk with Ticket Snoozing

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:

  • Increase your focus: Temporarily remove low-priority tickets from view so that the most important issues stand out immediately.
  • Maintain control: No more worrying about forgetting to follow up. The ticket automatically returns to your overview once the snooze period expires.
  • Flexibility by team: Whether an agent wants to finish their workday or is waiting for an update from another team; the workspace stays tidy.

Here's how it works

Snoozing a ticket is simple and intuitive:

    1. Snooze with one click: Click the "Snooze" button in the upper right corner of an open ticket.
    2. Choose your moment: Select a time period (later today, tomorrow, next week) or set a custom date and time.
    3. Automatic wake-up: A ticket automatically "wakes up" (unsnoozed) as soon as:
      • The customer responds.
      • The snooze time has expired.
      • An internal note is manually added.
      • The ticket is closed.

New for Admins: Individual vs. Global Snooze

Two modes can be chosen:

  • Individual mode: A ticket is hidden only for the specific user who snoozes.
  • Global mode ("Snooze for all"): The ticket is removed from all active views and moved to a shared "Snoozed" view. This is ideal for teams working closely together on the same tickets.

Note: Changing the snooze mode in the settings causes all currently snoozed tickets to be 'woken up' immediately.

Update 7: Marketing email cloning including Simple Workflows

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:

  • Save your time: No more duplicate work for post-send automations.
  • Reduce your error margins: The settings of your proven workflows are adopted 1-to-1.
  • Scale faster: Create variations of your campaigns for different audiences in no time, including full automation logic.

Here's how it works

The process is fully integrated into your normal workflow within the email tool:

  1. Choose your email: Go to the overview of your marketing emails and choose 'Clone'.
  2. Simple Workflows Copy: A new checkbox will now appear in the clone window: 'Copy simple workflows'.
  3. Confirm: Check this box and HubSpot will automatically duplicate all linked simple workflows to your new email.

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.

Update 8: More overview with improved Marketing Event Cards

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:

  • Instant insight: Manage your events side-by-side with your other channels (such as email and ads) with all relevant data at hand.
  • Less clicking: Save time by viewing essential information directly on the canvas.
  • Better decision-making: See at a glance how your registrations are progressing while you adjust your campaign.

Here's how it works

Each Marketing Event canvas now automatically displays the following details:

  1. Event Source: Instantly see if the event comes from an integration (such as Zoom or Eventbrite) or if it is a manually created event in HubSpot.
  2. Date & Time: The start and end date are immediately visible in the card sidebar.
  3. External URL: A direct link to the event in the external tool (useful for quick checks).
  4. Dynamic Counters: The map shows the number of Registrations before the event and automatically switches to the number of Participants (Attendees) once the event has ended.

This subtle but powerful change makes navigating complex marketing campaigns a lot easier and more intuitive.

Update 9: Add a deadline to Approval Requests.

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:

  • Prevent bottlenecks: Approvers know exactly when their input is needed so as not to jeopardize the schedule.
  • Improve focus: Deadlines are clearly displayed in notifications and reminders from HubSpot.
  • Keep your grip on the roadmap: You can manage your content calendar with more certainty, knowing the process has a hard end date.

Here's how it works

Adding a deadline is a simple step in submitting your work:

  1. Request approval: Start your normal approval request for an email, page or other content.
  2. Set due date: Instantly add a due date (deadline) when creating the request.
  3. Automatic reminders: HubSpot incorporates this date into notifications to the approver so they are reminded of the open task in a timely manner.
