UI Extensions more Graph options

dgomez-dev — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 14:33:11 GMT

Hi,

Currently, the UI components only offer two types of graphs: Bar and Line.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there were more options, like radar, gauge, heatmaps, etc., perhaps something similar to Chart.js?

This would improve data visualization, as CRMs tend to be overly text-heavy.

Absolutely agree @dgomez-devm more chart types in UI Extensions would be a game changer.

You can still bring in libraries like Chart.js or Recharts into your iframe-based UI Extensions since they run as embedded React apps.

Consider submitting this idea via the HubSpot Ideas Forum so it gets on their radar.

Hi @dgomez-dev , totally agree with you.
Expanding chart options in HubSpot UI Extensions would be a huge upgrade. Bar and Line charts are limiting for more advanced data visuals.

Support for Radar, Pie, Donut, Gauge, or Heatmaps (like Chart.js) would make custom dashboards far more impactful.

The more traction it gets, the better the chance HubSpot builds it out!

Thanks Kosala,

But as I understand, I cannot render inside a Extension, only if I use a iframe, like with the old CRM cards, right?

HubSpot UI Extensions only support the standard components

That idea is not longer available, or the link does not work to me

Aah, yep @dgomez-dev. You are absolutely right. The trick I mentioned worked previously on iframe-based CRM Cards.
