HubSpot's December Updates:

Control your image optimization quality

Depending on what type of content you’re creating, you might want to customize your images optimization quality. By default, HubSpot balances uploaded images for both load time and image quality, but there could be times where you want more granular control. For example, you may want an email image to be higher resolution, while an image on a page might be lower resolution for a faster load time. This is now possible within HubSpot. Simply select your image optimization level when inserting an image into any piece of content.

Customize your Pop-up Forms and Conversations 

Personalization is one of the most important parts of your chat and pop-up form strategy. So we’re really excited to introduce advanced targeting and additional triggers to help you reach the right visitors.  Besides selecting a specific website page where you would like your pop up to appear you can now also apply filters based on the characteristics of your website visitors - what pages they’ve browsed, what country they are in, are they a new for returning visitor, have they clicked any particular CTA and many, many more. The filters allow you to combine multiple rules as well as create exclusion rules.

The advanced targeting is live now for pop-up forms and in beta for Conversations. For access you can reach out to your CSM.

Export your Data with new Reporting Features 

HubSpot reporting gives you insight into how your business is performing, but sometimes it’s helpful to export that data -- so you can get a closer look at all the details outside of HubSpot. Well now, you can export data from FOUR key analytics tools: contact analytics, sales content analytics, sales team productivity, and service team productivity tools. This update is now available to all Professional and Enterprise customers. 

And speaking of getting a deeper understanding of your data -- we’ve also made improvements to funnel reports. With the latest update to funnel reports, you can now see cumulative conversion percentages alongside the“next step” conversion percentages. It’s important to note that this change only impacts funnel reports that show deals that have been through all stages of the funnel. 

We’ve also made a couple of improvements to the Revenue Analytics tool in Sales Hub Enterprise. With the latest update, you can now see projected recurring revenue in future time ranges, and you can drill down to see the deals that comprise each revenue category.

More Visibility for Sales Hub Admins 

First up, admins can now keep track of last user activity -- this is a helpful way for admins to monitor system adoption and proactively target training for those not using HubSpot as intended. Admins also now have the ability to access all private dashboards -- which is a valuable update for teams dealing with a lot of turnover.  ManageDashboards

 

Improvements for Sales Reps 

Now I’ve just shared a bunch of updates for our managers and HubSpot admins -- but I do have a couple improvements for our sales reps as well. One of these improvements is the addition of priority tasks. When a sales rep creates a new task, they now have the option to mark that task as a priority. Reps can then sort and view tasks based on priority to ensure the most important things never slip through the cracks.

You can now add comments in the CRM

And the LAST update I want to share is that you can now add comments to notes, calls, and meetings logged in the CRM. This allows for seamless collaboration across teams, right within HubSpot.

Major improvements to the Salesforce Sync Health  

To have a strong, reliable integration that you can trust, you need to understand the issues that are blocking data when syncing from one system to another. That’s exactly what this new and improved “Sync Health” tab for HubSpot’s Salesforce integration does with three major changes.

 

First, the Sync Health tab is now the first tab you land on when checking out your Salesforce integration so you can immediately understand how healthy your sync is. Second, you’ll find distinct error categories such as associations, custom code, duplicates, property mappings, and more so you can prioritize and plan how to address the errors. Lastly, you now have the ability to sign up for sync error notifications on an instant, daily, or weekly basis so that you can resolve errors as quickly as possible and keep your integration healthy.
