Welcome to our HubSpot Product Spotlight for June. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the team's favourite HubSpot updates from the last month.
Ready? Let’s dive in!
Now Live
These are all the features now live and ready to use in your HubSpot portal.
Marketing email analytics now in custom report builder
What is it?
Marketing email analytics is a new data source in the custom report builder, which grants you access to key email performance metrics, such as open rate and click-through-rate, alongside the full power of CRM reporting.
Why does it matter?
Despite all of the evolving ways for you to stay connected with your leads, prospects, and customers, marketing email still remains one of the key channels you can use to stay engaged with your audience on a personalized level at scale. In a digital age of oversaturation, it's even more important to not only provide the right value to each person you're engaging with but also continuous value.
The way to achieve this, especially in the fast-paced world of email marketing, is to have a constant pulse and an in-depth vantage point on what's working and how to replicate successful outcomes. Email marketing has clear-cut engagement metrics to determine what is successful and what's not: delivery rate, open rate, click-rate, click-through rate, reply rate, spam report rate, and unsubscribe rate. Up until now, you have had to rely on analyzing email performance metrics either within the Marketing Email tool's analyze space or in an Excel sheet, but you have been limited from tying these metrics back to the full power of the HubSpot CRM.
With the custom report builder's new data source, "Marketing email analytics," you are able to tie marketing email successes and failures directly to your CRM data, breaking down your analysis in countless different ways. You can create reports that will tell you things like the best hour of the day or day of the week emails get the most opens, or you can build reports that showcase which content is seeing the highest or lowest click-through rates. You'll no longer have to patch these insights together through countless exports, custom joins, or calculations in outside systems—you can now achieve this right inside HubSpot within a few clicks.
Test your audio devices for Calling
What is it?
Test your input and output devices for calling in HubSpot.
How does it work?
When making and receiving calls in HubSpot, it's important to ensure that your audio devices are properly configured.
To get started, open the Inbound Call Tab by clicking on the phone icon in the navigation bar. Next, click "Test Audio".
- Input Device: Speak in a clear and even tone and confirm that the connected microphone is picking up your voice
- Output Device: click the play button and confirm that your connected speaker is playing the tone.
Colored object tag enhancements
What is it?
You can now do more with the deal tag and ticket tag properties.
Previously, colored object tags would appear on the board and table views. Now, you can also:
- View object tags on the record page
- Use object tags in automated workflows
- Use object tags in reporting
Essentially, you can now use colored object tags as you would any other property within your HubSpot account.
How does it work?
See here for more information on prioritizing deals and tickets with colored object tags.
New in the App Marketplace: Essential Apps for Marketing Hub
What is it?
A new collection of recommended integrations is now available in HubSpot’s App Marketplace highlighting the essential apps for Marketing Hub. Try out these integrations that are popular with Marketing Hub customers and recommended by HubSpot:
- Amplitude: Track in-product events with Amplitude and add them to contact profiles in HubSpot, developing a better understanding of how customers use their products.
- Demandbase: Automate complex growth workflows with account engagement analysis, performance measurement, segmentation based on niche criteria, and multi-channel ABM automation.
- Hightouch: Keep customer data fresh and synced at all times, from all sources, so you can easily map each customer’s journey and provide a more personalized experience.
- Lucky Orange: Create heatmaps and track all web engagement events, then set up workflows and alerts in HubSpot to keep customers engaged and serve up leads to your sales team.
- Microsoft Dynamics: Bring your own CRM, such as Microsoft Dynamics, and connect it with Marketing Hub and reap the benefits of a unified source of truth for your company.
- NetSuite: Sync data between NetSuite and HubSpot to cut out manual data entry, allowing marketing teams to build a fuller picture of prospects, leads, and customers.

- Zoom: Add video meeting links to marketing emails and sales invitations, plus automate webinar registration and follow-ups.
Why does it matter?
Marketing teams use more tools than ever, but these disconnected end-point solutions leave them with data scattered across their tech stacks. HubSpot’s App Marketplace has 1,250+ ready-to-use integrations, so marketers can connect their tools to Marketing Hub and build world-class experiences that deeply connect with customers. Get started with this curated collection of essential apps for Marketing Hub.
Search for Social posts on HubSpot Mobile
What is it?
Search for Social posts has now been enabled on the HubSpot mobile app. Instead of using filter and sort, you can now use search for quick and easy look ups when away from your desk.
Why does it matter?
On mobile, global search is accessed through the search button in the floating nav. Similar to web, the search results are separated into sections, with the addition of tabs for finding more results for a specific type, e.g. Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets. Mobile supports a subset of the types offered by the Global Search API, as not all of its types are relevant or supported in the mobile app.
Up until recently, mobile search has been limited to mainly sales based features. As we expand the feature set on mobile, we’re equally keen to ensure that customers can find the things they are looking for.
As part of HubSpot's ongoing commitment to scale the app, search for Social posts is the latest expansion of mobile search to support marketing hub users, following the recent enablement of search for Marketing Emails and Dashboards on mobile too.
Formatting options for calculated properties
What is it?
You can now customize how your calculated properties results are displayed.
Why does it matter?
Formatting options for calculated properties empowers you to tailor the presentation of your calculation results to match your specific requirements. Whether you're analyzing data, managing finances, or working with time-related calculations, our formatting capabilities offer you the flexibility and control you need.
For example, ops teams love using calculated properties to make important business data available in their CRM like profit margin on deals so that data can be available for reps and in reporting.
What ops teams don't like is the workarounds required to turn a calculated property into their required format. To get that done today requires multiple properties and a workflow, which creates management headaches and makes the CRM feel overall more brittle.
With this update, no more workaround are required. Admins can now setup a calculated property to display as a formatted number, unformatted, number, currency, percentage, or duration and they are all set.
Workflows Custom Views and Subfolders
What is it?
Users and teams can now create custom workflow views to set up folders within folders, making it easier to organize, find, and manage workflows.
Why does it matter?
As customers create more workflows, it becomes more time-consuming to quickly understand how workflows are interconnected. Current workflow management processes require you to go into individual workflows to try to cobble together an understanding of how they are connected to one another, as well as create external artifacts like spreadsheets and workflow mapping documents. With workflow custom views and subfolders, customers can filter and group workflows, or create a folder hierarchy that matches their automation strategy.
Choose between multiple engagement types when logging a playbook
What is it?
Playbook editors can now choose what type of engagement is logged when a playbook is completed.
Additionally, we added a new option that allows users to update linked CRM properties without logging an engagement.
Why does it matter?
Sales and support team managers often want to give their users increased flexibility when logging the results of a playbook. That's why we added the ability for playbook authors to select one or more engagement types (call, meeting, note, or email) that will be available to end-users.
Cases where you only want your users to update CRM properties linked to questions in a playbook without logging an engagement are also supported now.
Login to HubSpot with Microsoft
What is it?
You can now use your Microsoft login credentials to login to HubSpot!
Why does it matter?
Login pages are one of the most critical user interfaces in desktop + mobile applications. We want to make it simpler and easier for all customers to join HubSpot.
Social logins use information from third party sites to simplify the sign-in experience and reduce user friction.
Up until recently, HubSpot customers wanting to skip past username and password entry, could do so using Google or Single Sign On.
HubSpot has now extended social logins to include "Sign in with Microsoft", to offer a more simplified login experience to more of our customers.
Refreshed user creation flow
What is it?
We’re overhauling the existing user creation flow to match the recently updated edit permission panel. Admins creating and editing users will now utilize the same experience when creating new users or editing the permissions of existing ones.
Why does it matter?
We strive to provide a consistent customer experience where possible, so we are updating the permission selection process during user creation to match that of editing an existing user.
Checkout Page included in Google Analytics
What is it?
You will be able to see data from the HubSpot payments checkout page in your Google Analytics account starting June 14, 2023. Your buyer uses this checkout page when they are paying for a payment link or quote.
Why does it matter?
Drive results by understanding your buyers' engagement and conversion. Before the checkout page was included in Google Analytics, you had an incomplete view of the buyers' journey. With the additional data, you can make more data informed decisions and understand your buyers better.
Integration Sync Card for Dynamics 365
What is it?
Need extra confidence your integration is syncing with the right record? You can now view Dynamics 365 sync status and linked records directly from the contact record.
This feature is available for contact, company, and deal records in HubSpot. Learn more in the Dynamics 365 Integration Sync Card knowledge base article.
Why does it matter?
Seeing sync status directly linked to a HubSpot record gives you a more accurate view of your data.
- Is this record syncing?
- When’s the last time this record synced?
- Which Dynamics 365 record is this HubSpot record syncing with?
Use our Settings page to get an overview of your Sync Health, and the Integrations Sync Card to drill down on a record by record basis on what’s happening with your sync.
Activities in the Data Model Overview
What is it?
Activities will now be visible as their own group within the Data Model Overview. Customers will be able to see key information about each activity as well as how activities relate to CRM objects or custom objects.
We've also improved the layout and design of the Data Model Overview to make it easier to understand and interact with.
Why does it matter?
When customers are configuring their HubSpot portal, activities are an integral part of the conversation. Activities are the core way that reps track how they’re interacting with customers. That said, customers struggle to understand where they fit in. Helping customers understand activities within the context of their data model is a key step in setting up HubSpot correctly.
Goals App is now in the Global Nav
What is it?
The Goals App is now easier to access from anywhere in HubSpot. Goals used to live deep within the Settings menu: Settings > Tracking & Analytics > Goals; it is now easily accessible from the HubSpot Global Top Navigation, under the Reports tab.
In light of this more accessible positioning of Goals in the top navigation, the Legacy Goals app will be removed from the Settings menu between 10th to 17th July 2023. This change will take effect over the course of the full week for all customers. Once removed from the settings menu, the Goals app will only be accessible from under Reports in the Top Navigation.
Please note, there will be no impact to any data in the Goals App. This change will only remove the Goals entry point from the settings menu. Customers can continue to use and access all their Goals data by navigating to the Goals App from Reports.
Why does it matter?
The Goals App plays a vital role for many of our customers, from setting goals to tracking progress regularly. We have often heard from customers that the Goals App is difficult to access; it is a cumbersome process to click into Settings > Tracking & Analytics to finally reach Goals each time. This has been a point of friction for many of our Goals users. As a result, we’ve now made Goals easily accessible in the HubSpot top navigation, under the Reports tab, and will be removing the entry point into Goals from the Settings menu.
Integrations Sync Card for NetSuite
What is it?
Need extra confidence your integration is syncing with the right record? You can now view NetSuite sync status and linked records directly from the contact record.
This feature is available for contact, company, and deal records in HubSpot. Learn more in the NetSuite Integration Sync Card knowledge base article.
Why does it matter?
Seeing sync status directly linked to a HubSpot record gives you a more accurate view of your data.
- Is this record syncing?
- When’s the last time this record synced?
- Which NetSuite record is this HubSpot record syncing with?
Use our Settings page to get an overview of your Sync Health, and the Integrations Sync Card to drill down on a record by record basis on what’s happening with your sync.
Spam Submissions Tool for Forms
What is it?
We are very excited to launch the Spam Submissions tool for Forms.
This feature automatically captures incoming form submissions that contain URLs in name fields as spam and lists them in a new "Spam Submissions" area for users to review and/or take action.
Why does it matter?
Data quality is a key factor that enhances the overall efficiency of marketing teams and any one using the HubSpot CRM.
Form submissions is one of the major channels through which data enters into our customers' CRM. The quality of these submissions is often times affected by Spam. Spam can either be submissions deliberately made by bad actors with the goal to impact our customers' CRM system or bots making submissions that are not truly valuable for marketers to take action on. Spam Submissions can be very impactful as these could skew the actual form submission counts or add a lot of manual work to identify them in the system, review them and manually delete them.
As part of this release, we are making an important step forward to help prevent spam submissions from entering our customers' CRM. With this update, form submissions that can contain a first name or last name property populated with URLs will be automatically detected and will be parked in a separate area even before it actually enters the CRM.
This would prevent any downstream activities such as creating or updating existing CRM records, triggering any automation and updating form submission reports.
The best part of this is that the spam submissions feature eliminates the additional manual work involved in reviewing and deleting these spam submissions. After 90 days from the form submission date, the spam submissions will be deleted automatically. However, as the users should be the final decision makers of their data, we still allow users to review and take actions manually.
An updated user interface for CMS content editors
What is it?
A new user interface for the landing page, website page, blog post, blog listing, global content, and theme editors.
Why does it matter?
The HubSpot CMS has undergone a lot of changes over the past few years, adding new features and functionality, and changing the way users create content. The user interface of the editor needs to also grow and change to accommodate all of these latest innovations and user behaviors.
This new UI was designed to give the user more space to view and interact with their content, while also keeping more editing features close at hand. It uses a familiar File/Edit/View/Help navigation to keep content admin tasks easy to find and use, while it uses an expanding sidebar on the left hand side of the screen for easy access to content editing tasks.
Subscriptions Index Page
What is it?
Customers who sell subscriptions (or collect recurring payments) with HubSpot will now have a brand new home for all their subscriptions.
Why does it matter?
Previously, subscriptions could only be found in HubSpot via associated records, making them difficult to navigate to quickly without having the right context. Subscriptions and available actions need to be easily accessible so that you can get to them and work on them quickly.
15+ updated & 70+ new integrations in the App Marketplace
What is it?
70+ new integrations–including a new Asana integration which seamlessly creates tasks based on HubSpot deals and more–recently joined HubSpot’s App Marketplace. Additionally, 15+ integrations were recently updated with new features including:
- Calendly: Now allows for automated response management based on custom routing logic to help ensure efficient lead assignment and scheduling, minimize manual interventions, and accelerate the sales process.
- CloudFiles: Now offers the ability to create data rooms for requesting files from HubSpot contacts.
- CloudTalk: Now sends call recordings and transcriptions into HubSpot, plus customizable workflow automations are available.
- Hootsuite: Now allows the connection of two different Twitter accounts and the creation of contacts without email addresses, improving user experience and efficiency.
- Hotjar: Syncs session recordings to HubSpot's contact timeline, automating workflows and enabling accurate tracking of interactions for process automation based on user behavior.
- Make: Now provides better output and filtering options, improving efficiency and usage capabilities.
- Onboarding plans by Arrows: Now includes auto-completion of tasks, customizable task visibility, direct form-to-property connection, and customer engagement tracking.
- Oneflow: Now offers two-way data sync, eliminating the need for manual updates based on deal, contact, and company objects, and provides enhanced visibility of contract-related events in the HubSpot activity timeline.
- Reveal: Now offers major improvements by displaying partner information on company, contact, deal records to help boost visibility of important data and enhance collaboration with partners.
- Sales Commission by QuotaPath: Now minimizes errors and offers a seamless data syncing experience, while streamlining customer tracking to automate commissions calculations.
- Sendoso: Now allows access to Sendoso touch lists directly from HubSpot resulting in fewer mistakes and less confusion when setting up gifts to delight your customers.
- Typeform: Now reduces the need for re-authentication and offers a streamlined setup process with new default mappings to automatically match Typeform and HubSpot fields.
- Vainu: Now allows you to create companies in HubSpot from Vainu's suggestions, adding data points like company size, countries of operation, website traffic rank, and more.
- Vitally: Now syncs custom objects from HubSpot and allows companies to be synced as Vitally organizations, improving data consistency and organization management.
Why does it matter?
HubSpot’s App Marketplace has 1,250+ integrations, with new integrations being added and improvements to existing integrations being made every day. Utilizing these new and updated integrations help you grow better with HubSpot.
CRM Activity Cards in Preview Sidebar
What is it?
CRM activity cards in the preview sidebar allow you to see critical CRM activities data (pinned activity and last 3 recent communications) in the preview sidebar on index, board, record pages, and more without needing to go to the full record timeline.
Why does it matter?
Reps are incredibly busy and need to see information in the right place without having to leave the context of their workflows. By adding activity cards to the preview sidebar, they'll be able to save time from going to a record timeline to see critical information.
Update the buyer contact on a subscription record
What is it?
Customers who sell subscriptions with HubSpot payments can now update the contact recorded on a subscription as the buyer. Once updated, the recipient of all subscription-related emails will automatically be updated.
Why does it matter?
It is typical in the B2B space (where contracts can run anywhere between 1-5 years) to see employees leave & new people join. Our customers represent such kind of change by changing the association of company & the deals from initial buyer to the new representative/ employee/ client. When that happens, this newly associated contact should be treated as the POC for the subscriptions notifications.
Copy and paste actions from one workflow to another
What is it?
You can now copy an action from one workflow and paste it in another workflow in your portal, saving you time when building your automation.
This feature is available for all customers with workflows access.
Why does it matter?
Customers are creating a lot of workflows, most of which are using the same actions and configurations, particularly those with complex branches or custom code. Previously, the only way to simplify the process of reusing an action across multiple workflows was to clone the entire workflow, which is not useful if you only want one or two actions from it. By enabling the ability to copy and paste actions across workflows, customers can now easily and efficiently create workflows, reducing opportunities for human error and saving them time so they can focus more on strategic initiatives.
Beta
These updates are currently in the works and nearly ready to be released on your HubSpot Portal.
Ad Tracking for LinkedIn Carousel Ads
What is it?
HubSpot can now track LinkedIn carousel ads - this means if a contact clicks on your LinkedIn carousel ad, an ad interaction will go on the contact record, allowing you to create specific email follow ups to close that lead. It also enables you to see full ROI reporting if that contact goes on to have a deal.
Why does it matter?
Previously due to API limitations, HubSpot could not track LinkedIn carousel ads. But now that limitation is gone and you should start to see your live LinkedIn carousel ads start tracking within the Ads app. This change enables you to see all the great reporting you can see for your other tracked LinkedIn ads (Cost Per Lead, Number of Contacts, etc) as well as have the Ad Interaction on the Contact Timeline allowing you to create lists, emails, workflows, etc based on this ad interaction.
Calculated Properties: Advanced Formula Builder
What is it?
The advanced formula builder for calculated properties is a powerful tool that allows you to take your data and turn it into vital business context with ease. You can now create custom number formulas and calculations to suit your specific business needs.
Why does it matter?
Whether you're analyzing sales data, tracking customer behavior, or measuring the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns, the advanced formula builder can help you gain deeper insights and make informed decisions.
With its advanced capabilities, the advanced formula builder makes it easy for both novice and experienced users to transform raw data into actionable insights.
Create Tasks and Tickets in Microsoft Teams
What is it?
Microsoft Teams Integration users can now create HubSpot Tasks and Tickets and associate them with HubSpot records seamlessly in Microsoft Teams!
Why does it matter?
Effective collaboration in Microsoft Teams just got easier! Previously, HubSpot users collaborating in Microsoft Teams had to jump back and forth between the two systems to create tasks or tickets. This context-switching can be tedious and can cause information exchanged between teammates to fall through the cracks.
Now, teammates can quickly turn conversations into action, without having to switch context. Users collaborating over a customer in Microsoft Teams can quickly create a task to follow up with that customer or create a ticket about an issue the customer is facing without skipping a beat.
Data Sync & Salesforce Integration Properties Now Shown in "Used In" column
What is it?
You can now see the properties that are being used by Data Sync and the Salesforce integration throughout HubSpot in the "Used In" column. This update also helps to prevent breaking properties that are updated by integrations, since you now can't delete properties that are mapped to the integrations.
Why does it matter?
HubSpot records are constantly being updated, but sometimes your teammates weren't aware that the updates they make can impact the other tools they have integrated. Now with this added visibility, users can better understand how the properties in HubSpot are mapped to their integrations.
New Settings Page for Salesforce Integration
What is it?
The Salesforce integration now has an updated settings page, so you have more insights into syncing. In the settings page, the tabs for contact, company, and deals now better reflect how the sync works and the control you have.
Why does it matter?
For the Salesforce integration contact, company, and deal sync work pretty differently. Previously, you didn't have a lot of insight into how company and deal sync worked. Now, contact, company and deal sync all have a consistent settings page that matches custom object sync.
Support for Global Privacy Control
What is it?
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a signal that informs a website of visitors’ preferences when it comes to selling or sharing personal data. You can now use HubSpot to process GPC signals from your website visitors, which will be used to prevent cookie tracking without requiring visitors to decline your cookie banner.
Why does it matter?
Effective July 2023, GPC will become enforceable under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). GPC is a browser or extension-based signal that allows website visitors to automatically indicate their preferences when it comes to selling or sharing personal data.
This is convenient when compared to the prevailing method, which requires a visitor having to find a ‘Do Not Sell’ button on each individual website they visit and submit their preferences manually.
The impact of this new regulation means that websites that operate or market to customers in California will need to support GPC signalling as a method of respecting opt-out preferences. Failure to comply presents legal and financial risk for companies.
The new CTAs is becoming the primary tool under the CTAs nav item
What is it?
HubSpot's new CTAs tool is becoming the primary app under the CTAs nav item for all customers.
Why does it matter?
Our brand new re-imagined CTAs offer you more flexibility to create engaging and higher converting assets with more robust and consistent tracking. You can now create different types of CTAs for all your needs without the help of a developer or a designer. The drag-and-drop offers flexibility to style your CTAs to ensure they're engaging and are consistent with the rest of their website. Unlike the Legacy CTAs app, the new CTAs let you create not only simple buttons but also embeddable banners that include image, text or form (previously this was only achievable by uploading a screenshot of a banner).
Javascript Building Blocks
What is it?
You can now enable Javascript building blocks via Design Manager settings for all CMS Starter, Pro, and Enterprise portals.
JavaScript building blocks are new modules, partials, and islands that can be written in React and JavaScript instead of HubL inside the HubSpot CMS. JavaScript modules and partials are built from React components and can be directly referenced via HubL tags in your templates. Islands can be added inside your JS module or partial to establish a component that is rendered on both the server and client and is automatically code-split. Once uploaded, your marketing partners will be able to seamlessly select from React and HubL building blocks in the editor.
Why does it matter?
Using JavaScript and React comes with lots of benefits, including component composability, code reuse, broader community resources, and real access to JavaScript on the server. While this beta is just a start, our hope is to make developing on the HubSpot CMS feel like modern web development. Plus we want to give you technologies that scale with you, all the way from simple static pages to complex interactive and dynamic web applications.
Rendering React on the server means that there is far less of a technological divide between your code that serves the initial page HTML and your interactive browser code. Previously, as you created more complex and interactive pages, that would either lead to:
- More and more client-side JavaScript that "blocked" and slowed down the page until it was all downloaded and executed
- Having to replicate or dually maintain UI logic across HubL and JavaScript in order to have server HTML that is immediately visible and can later interact to user input
In other words, JS Building Blocks gives you the tools to:
- Optimize for performance by removing your more complex module or logic code from the browser
- Eliminate the complexity and maintenance burden that comes with splitting a module or component's logic across HubL and JavaScript.
Copy and paste actions from one workflow to another
What is it?
You can now copy an action from one workflow and paste it in another workflow in your portal, saving you time when building your automation. Now available to all customers with workflows access.
Why does it matter?
Customers are creating a lot of workflows, most of which are using the same actions and configurations, particularly those with complex branches or custom code. Previously, the only way to simplify the process to reuse an action across multiple workflows was to clone the entire workflow. By enabling the ability to copy and paste actions across workflows, customers can now easily and efficiently create workflows, reducing opportunities for human error and saving them time so they can focus more on strategic initiatives.
Daily AI-powered duplicate checks for contacts and companies
What is it?
Daily AI-powered duplicate checks automatically scan for new duplicate contacts and companies and show potential matches to merge within the manage duplicates tool.
Why does it matter?
Currently, the manage duplicates tool checks for duplicates every two weeks. This isn't frequent enough for teams that need to ensure their contacts and companies are accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
AI Content Assistant for Social
What is it?
Now, you can use our AI-powered content assistant to generate social captions.
Why does it matter?

AI content assistant: slash and highlight commands for website and landing pages
What is it?
We are excited to announce the release of content assistant for landing pages and website pages. This means you can now generate page headlines, paragraphs, and subsections within the website page and landing page editors, along with the ability to highlight existing text to rewrite, shorten, expand, or change the tone of the text they select.
Why does it matter?
Whether writing a blog post, email, or KB article, content creation is one of the most time-consuming tasks that you need to do, often on a daily basis.
That's why HubSpot built content assistant, a tool that helps you write more quickly and scale your content creation efforts. The tool jumpstarts the writing process, helping you generate ideas, outlines, paragraphs, and even sales emails in a flash.

With content assistant, users can do everything from generating responses to customer inquiries to editing existing or generated text by opting to rewrite, shorten, expand, or change the tone of the text they select.
Why does it matter?
Writing responses to customer inquiries, often several at a time, is an incredibly time-consuming task for Inbox users today.
We’ve now incorporated content assistant into Conversations Inbox! This tool will help agents generate responses quickly via any channel in the Inbox, automating the most tedious parts of answering incoming inquiries and giving users time back in their day to focus on delivering a high-quality and personalized customer experience.
Sequences Reporting Improvements
What is it?
We're introducing two updates to sequences reports: Step-level analytics and meeting rate reporting.
With step-level analytics, you can report on every single step in your sequence to understand how reps are executing the steps and how they are converting into meetings booked.
The new meeting rate report updates the logic used to associate meetings booked to more accurately represent the meetings influenced by a sequence.
Why does it matter?
In order to understand how well a sales sequence is performing, it's important to not only know the outcome (i.e. how many meetings were booked), but also which specific steps contributed to those results. Up until now reporting on sequences has been challenging. Meeting rate reporting didn't capture all meetings generated by a sequence and you could only report on email steps within a sequence. This meant important touches like calls, LinkedIn outreach, and tasks couldn't be unanalyzed, leaving sales teams in the dark about how well these steps are working and how they could improve their sequences moving forward.
