Operations Hub

New Hub alert! If you work in operations, we’ve got you covered. Allow us to introduce our brand new Operations Hub.

Our data sync engine - with two-way, live, and historical syncing capability - helps keep info up-to-date across teams and third-party apps. Data quality automation ensures all your CRM info is pristine, so you can segment with ease. And finally, programmable automation enables custom javascript code blocks, right in workflows. Pretty cool, right?

Enhancements to Smart Content

Now you can make all content and custom modules on your website “smart.” Customize your page visitor’s experiences as you like, based on information in our CRM. Our editing experience also got an upgrade. Modify and view your smart variations right inside the editor, in real-time. As you edit, we show you other smart modules on the page.

Custom Object Settings Pages

Admins will find a "Custom Objects" option in their settings after creating a custom object for their hub. "Custom Objects'' will have settings for each custom object the customer has created. These include: managing properties, editing the new record creation form, and selecting the properties for display on an association card.

Single Record Delete Permissions

With new permissions, you can better control who can access, manage, and delete your CRM records. Admins can now create delete permissions by record type and user, separately from edit permissions.

Insights and Data Tools

Marketing Attribution Now Includes Deal Creation

In HubSpot, a "deal" is created when a lead is handed off to sales. We want to give you insight into the middle of this funnel. This update, now in public beta for Enterprise Marketing Hub users, helps you understand which assets and activities best nurture customers from leads to sales handoffs.

New Reporting to Unpack the Customer Journey

Three new reports help you understand  'marketing velocity' – the parts of your marketing strategy that help you most quickly achieve a given goal. These reports let you trace how long key steps in your customer journey take, including average time to become a customer, average time to open a deal, and how long it takes deals to close, helping you understand which steps you can optimize.
