HubSpot Wishlist

This week seems to be a HubSpot CRM heavy episode. Todays wishlist items are both form the sales side of the tool.

HubSpot it would b great if we were able to add PDF and other files to emails sent through CRM. If this is in there, we can not find it? Also it would be great to have the ability to BCC and or CC from the CRM. Savvy marketers are trying to stay in their CRM and be more productive.

HubSpot Updates

Coming Soon: Opt-in for the New Navigation and Settings Screen

You'll soon see an option to opt-in to the new HubSpot navigation and settings screen. WARNING! Once you opt-in to the new navigation, there is no way to revert back so you should make sure your full team is comfortable with it before doing so.
Note: If you are a new customer or recently added the HubSpot CRM or Tally, you will already have the new navigation and won't need to opt-in.

A Breakdown of the New Navigation

HubSpot has streamlined the navigation and settings screen to make room for new tools and make moving around HubSpot much easier for you.

Easily switch between products.
If you have multiple HubSpot products, you'll see this dropdown.

Search for Apps, Contacts, Campaigns or Content.
A speedy search functionality has been made more visible in the nav bar to help you quickly move to the app, contact, campaign or content you want.

Consolidated resources and notifications.
You'll be able to see the academy, ideas, support requests and other educational resources under the graduation cap in the far right. You'll also notice the notification center and your main account settings right next to that.
