Exclude specific workflows from an object's timeline

HubSpot Ideas

Currently, you can filter workflows from an object’s activity timeline, but this means you see no workflow activities on the timeline at all.

We sometimes have workflows that enroll an object daily (or even more frequently).

It would be great if we would get an option to exclude a single workflow from showing on an object’s timeline instead of showing non or all workflow activities.

So when we publish a workflow, we get the option to enable or disable timeline activity for that specific workflow.

Great idea! This would ensure a much cleaner activity timeline!

Hey Team, having the ability to exclude workflows that are occurring daily will help customers make the best use of the workflows on the timeline

Our users get so lost in the activity log that they just ignore it - we would love to be able to control what is seen, when. Woudl be great to control this both from a workflow and from a Team standpoint - might be good for admins to view, but not for Sales, etc. Thanks.

We are having the same issue. It overwhelms the salesperson with information, preventing them from seeing the activity that is specific to their role. It would be great if you could filter activity type by permission set or team assigned. Really only admins, managers, or service team members really need to see this type of activity in our organization.

GREAT Idea the same for us

+1 one here. Sometimes the user gets enrolled in 409850 workflows and the timeline gets very confused. haha

Absolutely necessary!

I wonder if the daily workflows we have in our portal are a bad practice, just for not having this feature.

+1!
For workflows running daily this would be important.

This would be super userful. Currently, my team won’t even look at the timeline, which would be really useful for them to understand the important automation and instead ask me why certain things have been updated. I think the main reason they do this is the number of daily workflows that appear make it unusable.

Literally can’t see anything useful because of the daily workflow activity this would be a gamechanger!

This +1
Having daily workflows and having to scroll back to look at activity is such a timely troubleshooting issue. Having a filter or does_not_appear option would be great

Do agree. As of now the activity view is pretty much useless for “regular users” due to it being flooded with segement/workflow/other. I know that you can filter those away, but a regular user doesn’t know/doesn’t care to fix these views for themselves.

14

real downside - would love to be able to hide “admin” actions but keep them in an audit space

15

just want to say this is not the same as manually filtering activity under the record. Looking for conditional views to exclude all workflow activity for all users viewing a record, without having to filter activity every time.

We also have workflows updating data on a daily schedule from external systems that clutter the activity timeline. Would love the option to hide/remove specific workflows from showing in the timeline on objects.
