Here's What's New in HubSpot.

What is it?

You now have the option to create contacts from forms without an email address.

 You can now set a default dashboard in HubSpot so you are brought to the most relevant screen when clicking the sprocket logo in the new navigation. All reporting add-on users will also be able to manage their dashboards from the new dashboard manager.

Marketing Hub Enterprise customers now can track their competitors in social using a new integration with Rival IQ. This integration gives marketers insight into what top competitors are up-to on social, and the engagement within their social presence.

When creating or editing a Facebook lead ad within HubSpot, you’ll now have access to a number of new options. When creating a new lead ad, you’ll proceed through a wizard which includes a guided setup flow, and most importantly, the ability to automate follow up tasks for the leads that submit on your lead ads. You can also access these automation options by editing an existing lead ad.

Forms now includes the option to create a shareable link. Users will now have the option to use the form in a HubSpot forms module, embed the form on an external site, or share the form through this shareable link.
