Certified Dope: Digging into the new custom report builder

Email nurture reporting

You can now use email open-and-click data in the custom report builder and it’s … pretty cool.

Hacking HubSpot

Gravity forms has a cool “Map It” functionality that takes the address from a form submission and generates a link to the Google Maps of that address in the submission notification email.

So, how do you do that in a HubSpot notification email?

Turns out it’s really just a matter of pulling personalization tokens into the source code of the email:

<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Error+Error">See it on the map</a>

HubSpot wishlist: Visual customization options for popup forms and popup images to increase conversions

It would be great if we can upgrade the popup forms with more visual customization options and also have the option to use popup images (image-only popups).

I know these are two different things but with more customization options, for example, styling, images, colors, and background, we could really improve our lead generation and increase our conversion rate.

There are many great examples that HubSpot's website currently uses, which would also be great for us users. I often see popups appearing for e-books where large images are being used.

Vote it Up!

Shoutout to our pal Ari Haas for bringing this one to the HubSpot user Slack!

HubSpot updates

[Live] Send dashboard emails with dynamic filters

In your portal, you can build out a dashboard with dynamic filters such as "Owners: me" or "Teams: my teams," which will change the data, dependent on which user is viewing the dashboard. And now you can add the same dynamic filters to your emails to ensure that the relevant context carries over to each recipient of the email.

[Now Live] Pipeline permissions: partitioning of deal and ticket pipelines

Super admins can manage which users and teams have access to specific deal and ticket pipelines. For each pipeline, you can give access to all users in the account, or limit access to individual users and teams.

[Note:] Explicitly giving a user or team access to a pipeline will restrict access for all others. For users without permission, restricted pipelines will be greyed out in the HubSpot account on desktop and the mobile app. Restricted users can view a specific deal or ticket record if they are sent a direct link from a user with access to the pipeline. They will also see records from restricted pipelines as associations on records.

[Now Live] Updates to editing tables in rich text

When you click on a table in a "rich text" field or module, the rich text toolbar will contextually update to show relevant table editing and styling options, such as border color, spacing, and more.

If you then click into an individual table cell, you will see the regular rich text toolbar options appear to edit the content of the cells.

The table popover allows you to delete or clone the table.

Additionally, options to remove and add cells are available when you click into a particular cell.
