Hey Folks!

I have just started using the CRM and I am trying to build out my sales process for better results but I am on free CRM so my question right now is, is there any way I can automatically update my lifecycle stages in HubSpot?

Hey @Jhonmicken

In HubSpot, you can automatically set lifecycle stages based on how a record was created or automatically sync the lifecycle stages of certain associated objects if you are on the free version

Kindly go through this article here: [Automatically set and sync record lifecycle stages](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/manage-how-lifecycle-stages-sync-between-objects)

To update the lifecycle stage of contacts or companies in bulk You can use a workflow but this would require a professional or an enterprise-level subscription in HubSpot to know more kindly go through this article [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/change-record-lifecycle-stages-in-bulk#:~:text=In%20your%20HubSpot%20account%2C%20navigate%20to%20Automations%20%3E%20Workflows.,%2Dbased%20or%20Company%2Dbased.)

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Hi @Jhonmicken,

Under Settings \> Objects \> Contacts \> Lifecycle stage, you can specify basic rules for lifecycle stage automation:

This is explained here: [Automatically set and sync record lifecycle stages](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/manage-how-lifecycle-stages-sync-between-objects)

You can also specify in forms which lifecycle stage a submitting contact should get:

For anything beyond that, a Professional subscription and automation capabilities are needed: [Create workflows](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/create-workflows)

Best regards!
