If you have a form notification email address set, you will notice a brand new look and feel of emails starting today. To match the latest design of HubSpot tools, we have updated the form submission email to be cleaner and more visually appealing. 

As a sales leader, the ability to zoom in on specific parts of your team's engagement process is vital. Which reps are making the most calls? Are they connecting or leaving voicemails? How many emails are your BDRs sending? How many meetings are your new reps booking?

When working with a prospect or customer, you need quick access to the most vital and relevant information. As more and more interactions rack up in that person's timeline, this gets a whole lot tougher. Today’s update enables you to pin the most mission-critical note at the top of any record in HubSpot CRM, ensuring the most important information is always front and center for both you and your team.

Finding the right image to add to your content can be a hassle, and is full of potential usage and legal complexities.

Inbound is all about getting the right message in front of the right people at the right time. A key component of that: understanding which of your contacts have important dates coming up relating to your company’s offerings. Which contacts have trial expirations around the corner? Who’s renewing in the next month? Which travelers leave on their trip in the next week? Which home-buyers have a move-in date in the next few days?

As of Friday March 24th, the new Visual Workflow Editor is the default view for all users. The old view will officially be retired. It’s had a good run. We hope you've had time to get aquinted with the new view and have tried out some of the improvements. 

Each month, your HubSpot portal gets access to a slew of new features. While we design each and every new feature with the goal of adding value to the tools you use day, we recognize that it can be tough to keep up with so many updates. With that in mind, we've put together a 5-minute video that walks you through this month's most exciting new HubSpot features. Give it a watch, share it with your team, and let us know your feedback in the comments below!

Let’s say your company sells widgets that are vital to fast food hamburger sales. Your goal is to sell your widgets to every Sprocket Burgers across the globe. While all the locations have the same bright orange emblem out front, they represent completely different franchises with their own unique businesses. One location might have twice as many employees; another might sell more HubNuggets than HubBurgers. With that in mind, you need a way to track your interactions with each franchise separately, but also understand the relationships between them.

Social media plays a key role in inbound marketing success. But it's not always the easiest thing to measure. It’s critical not only to analyze your social data to gain insights for your next campaign, but also to see your social metrics in the context of your other KPI’s, to understand how your social results align with your overall marketing goals.

Your contacts database is your home base for understanding the people interacting with your business. With the goal of making your contacts tools easier to use and more consistent with the rest of your HubSpot platform, we've been working for the last few months on fresh new designs for four screens: All Contacts, the contact record, Lists, and imports.

All Contacts and Lists are your home base for understanding the people in your database. With the goal of making these tools easier to use and more consistent with the rest of your HubSpot platform, we've been working for the last few months on fresh new designs for these two screens.

Marketing to customers in different countries, with different languages, can be a complex challenge. Not only to create and manage pages -- but ensure that search engines are directing visitors to the right versions at the right time.

As marketers one of our primary challenges is our ever-growing task list. With so many "to do's" it's become hard to focus on writing content. Creating quality content requires focus, but that doesn't mean you should rush through your to do list or ignore all your other priorities -- instead your tools should adapt to the changing environment today.

Integrating a database into your website is a technical process that typically requires a developer to spend significant time planning, creating, and then integrating with your website. As a result, I.T. often retains control of the database after it's first implemented. But the benefits of a database extend far beyond just developers. Marketers can utilize databases to have one central location to update content across numerous pages with ease. Today we're happy to introduce HubDB, a relational database within HubSpot that allows developers to easily create database-driven content embedded within website and landing pages, and marketers the ability to easily update content within the database.

We've taken the best parts of our existing CRM, Sales, and Marketing apps, and combined them into a single HubSpot mobile experience. The new HubSpot Mobile app gives you a view into the full lifecycle of your contacts, from top funnel marketing efforts to in-progress deals and sales tasks.

As your business grows, it gets more and more difficult to keep your data clean. With information coming from more places --- inbound, imports, integrations, and more --- inevitably, it’s sometimes necessary to clean things up. Today’s update enables you to keep your company database dupe-free.

What is it: The HubSpot Ads Add-On now includes the new AdWords ad format, Expanded Text Ads in campaign reporting, creation and editing. Be aware, that when creating a new AdWords campaign - Expanded Text Ads will now be the only ad format someone can use. Why? It’s best for our customers. Old, shorter ads have a lower CTR than Expanded Text Ads and the old format is going away this year, per Google.

Meetings already helps you save time, and the latest update adds even more efficiency to your day by making Meetings do the work for you.

Now, it’s easy to embed Meetings on your site. With embedded Meetings, you can flatten your funnel and make your sales cycle even shorter.Think of the embedded Meetings widget as a new kind of form—but instead of simply capturing a lead, you’re able to get the commitment of a meeting on the books.

Your subject line is arguably the most critical part of your email marketing strategy... if it doesn't pique your audience's interest, a carefully crafted email loses all impact.

Information is important. But not all information is equally important to every member of your team. Your sales reps might spend their energy working deals, while your marketing team might focus more closely on basic contact and company demographics. The better your HubSpot records reflect your priorities, the less scrolling you’ll have to do and the quicker you’ll be able to do your job.

Emails sent at odd hours are often ignored, or worse, sent right to the trash. As inbound marketers we all want to deliver a good experience, and also want to get the best performance out of our email. So shouldn't those emails arrive in everyone's inbox based on their timezone?

We’ve made significant improvements to the way Gmail and Office 365 integrate with HubSpot. This new, two-way integration means that any email you send through the CRM will appear in the sent folder of your inbox. Any replies to that email will also be logged in the CRM:

Launching a new website, or even just a few pages can be stressful. There are always edits that need to be made, but tracking those edits is difficult. Today we are introducing a few updates to Content Staging that will help you track, and publish pages.

When you log into HubSpot today, you'll find a cleaner full-screen interface for the Page Performance report. Chances are good you won't notice much of a change --- you've had the ability to opt into the new design for a few months. Today, we're excited to officially launch the refreshed look.

When you’re growing a business, your day is filled with countless to-dos, questions, and data-pulls. These needs arise all the time and not always at the most convenient times. GrowthBot makes you just a little bit faster at doing just about anything.  

When you’re digging into your contacts, companies, and deals, you need quick and easy access to all the information you have about them. The faster you can find the information you need, the more efficiently and effectively you can follow up with your leads.

HubSpot Partners can now easily register a lead directly within the HubSpot platform - reducing, errors, and making you more efficient. 

With Workflows, you can update property values for many records at once, rather than making one-off changes --- saving you precious moments in your day. Not quite sure what we're talking about? Take a glance through this help document, then come right back.

In many situations, the value of a property needs to be updated, rather than overwritten. Now, appending values to multi-checkbox properties is easy to do in HubSpot.

As a HubSpot Partner it's difficult to tell where you are within your registered lead capacity, and how to remove one. Today we're introducing the beta of Capacity Manager, a brand-new tool that allows you to easily de-register domains so new leads can be registered. 

In order to streamline access to the template marketplace, and partner profile within Hubspot we are making some minor navigation changes to partner portals. These changes will display in only partner portals beginning on July 13. Let's dive-in to the updates.

Team Meetings, the newest addition to HubSpot Sales, makes it even easier for teams to collaborate and connect with contacts. Team Meetings brings two new meeting link types to Meetings: Group Meetings links, and Round Robin Meetings links.

A reply to an email that is sent as part of a Sequence will automatically unenroll that contact from the Sequence. But an automated, out-of-office reply isn’t really a sign of engagement the way that an actual reply is. Now, Sequences detects out-of-office replies, ignored them, and keeps those contacts enrolled in the Sequence.

Creating content is hard work. When it comes to drafting new email templates, we often forget that our inbox is ripe with inspiration. The latest update to HubSpot Sales helps you tap into that inspiration by giving you the ability to save any email as a reusable, reportable Template directly from your Gmail inbox.
