Table of contents

HubSpot’s sole aim is to help its clients grow their businesses and keep them ahead of their competitors. With the help of feedback and ideas provided by the users, it tries to solve their problems with new product updates. 

HubSpot’s product updates for October 2020 are all about adaptability and innovation and are designed to add power to our already easy-to-use software. As usual, I am excited to know about these updates. Hope you feel the same too.

Marketing Hub Updates

Let’s check out the latest HubSpot Updates for Marketing Hub users.

1. Personalization Tokens in Emails for Custom Objects

Personalization tokens make your client interaction better and help you to build a good relationship with them. Till now personalization was limited to contacts and companies but personalization tokens used in automated emails now support custom object values too.

personalization-tokens

With the latest feature of personalization tokens supporting custom objects, you’ll be able to fully leverage all your data right from within HubSpot.

2. Sidebar Workflows in Ad Campaign

Workflow-the most powerful tool in HubSpot. When this workflow tool is combined with any other tool, it will ofcourse make that tool more powerful and impactful.

embedded-workflows

With this latest feature, while creating a lead generation or web traffic campaigns in HubSpot, workflow can be created directly in campaign creation. This will help you to set up lead follow-up workflows easily without having to remember what form and Ad ID you have used from the website traffic campaign that converted your contact. 

3. Multi-Language Blog Settings

With the new multi-language blog settings you can set a different template for each blog language and edit comment, social sharing, and Google AMP settings for each language variant of your blog. This will help you to avoid mixed language content issues on your blog.

multi-language-blog-setting

If you don’t have a blog template in the language you prefer, you can clone any of your existing blog templates and edit the content.

4. Dashboard Activity Log

Dashboards help you and your team to view important metrics in an easy way so that you can access your progress towards key goals. As the members make changes to the dashboard to help them answer their specific questions, it makes it difficult for the scaling team to maintain the dashboard perfectly.

activity-log-in-dashboard

Dashboards help you and your team to view important metrics in an easy way so that you can access your progress towards key goals. As the members make changes to the dashboard to help them answer their specific questions, it makes it difficult for the scaling team to maintain the dashboard perfectly.

HubSpot have built a chronological change log to give you a historical view into what changes were made within your dashboard, by whom, and when. This will help you to recreate your perfect dashboard view easily.

5. Adding Comments in Workflows

Sometimes workflows can be complex and may need an explanation for your colleague or to track workflow outcomes.

add-comment-in-workflow

Adding comments to your workflow will make it easier for your team to understand the thought process. You can also export workflows as an image to share with colleagues, clients, and partners.

6. Unused Workflows Tab

Sometimes there are workflows that become obsolete when you change your strategy. These unused workflows clog up your account and cause unwanted limit overages.

unused-workflow-tab-1

But now, there is an easy way to identify and get rid of such unused workflows and keep your account clean.

Workflows that are not used in any other tool or either turned off or haven’t been used in the last ninety days will appear under the Unused Workflow tab and help you to review and delete the ones no longer needed.

Sales Hub Updates

Below are the exciting updates for Sales Hub users.

1. HubSpot Keyboard for Phone

Being responsive timely to their customers is very important for reps. People tend to buy from the companies that respond to their inquiry first. Being prompt in responding and timely follow up is a winning strategy. Keeping this point in mind, HubSpot has added a HubSpot keyboard for your phone.

keyboard-for-phone

Sometimes most of our documents are scattered over our different apps and it takes time to toggle in between the different apps to get the documents. The HubSpot keyboard for phones makes it easy for you to insert information from your HubSpot CRM, such as snippets, meeting links, quotes and documents, into your messages on your phone. 

2. Follow-up Tasks on Mobile

Creating tasks makes your follow-up easy but it shouldn’t take much of your time. The latest update by HubSpot allows you to create follow-up tasks on mobile with just one tap.

follow-up-tasks

To use this feature you have to have the latest version of iOS or Android App. Now you can create follow-up tasks by tapping on a task. This will bring up the Task bottom sheet. When one task is completed, you will now be prompted to create a new follow-up task.

Service Hub Updates
