Folders to organize Workflows

We use Hubspot for marketing, sales and service and use workflows that are managed by people from eacht department. So it would be nice if we could organize workflows with folders, categories or labels to have an overview of who’s responsible for which workflow.

I vote this idea as well!

Come on guys;)

Where are my folders for my lovely workflows?

I need to archive, arrange, sort and ting and ting!

Now that we are all back to work (right?) let’s nail this so we can get back to saving lives with marketing automation!

good idea!

Wowww… we really need this. I often have 8 seperate workflows that pretty much complete the same task. I really need a way to organise them…

96 active workflows

267 inactive/legacy workflows

Really should be the same folder/archive system/options for all HS content/action types, forms too!

Please!

This needs to happen!

Any update on if this is being worked on?

Yes plz.

That would be awesome! it will organize my workflows and make them easy to find

Agree 100% . Folders would be an easy development with a lot of impact - HS says they’re working on it. Work on it harder please!

And if anyone at HS is monitoring this any more:

- Labeling or tagging

- Hover over pops the wf creator’s note/description.

Thanks guys!

We created tons of complicated workflows, and being able to organize them in folders would make our lives so much better. Thanks!

It is still a crime against humanity that lists, forms, workflows, CTAs, emails and landing pages do not have the same simple folder structure and organization visibility.

  • Lists are simple, you can see if a list is in a folder, size, active, last viewed - BUT YOU CAN’T RENAME A FOLDER
  • Emails are well, argh, max 3 columns, if you rename a folder you can’t just edit the name AND YOU CAN’T SEE WHAT FOLDER AN EMAIL IS IN
  • Landing pages, only two columns of info, you do get to overwrite the name but again, you can’t see if the LP is in a folder and NO USEFUL DATA IN THE LIST
  • Forms now have folders, but no left sidebar, no toggle, different actions buttons, you get to overwrite on rename, good data in the list, especially “used in” but YOU CAN’T SEE WHAT FOLDER A FORM IS IN
  • CTAs, good list, good data, NO FOLDERS
  • Workflows, ah my precious workflows, OK data in the list, NO FOLDERS

This drives me nuts every day. I’m lucky that I have don’t have a lot of other people working in the same instance.

Don’t even get me started on the different move to folder dialogues with the poor folder structure GUIs.

Of course, these should all be harmonized, right?

Ideally, the side bar from LPs, clear list from lists, ability to edit columns - more than three - from emails, with the option of the “used in” and “in folder”… I see some progress, like folders for forms, but I think overall this has taken a step back since we could e.g. see the folder structure in the left side bar…

In absence of foldering in workflows, we have had to create a very tediously long structure for naming workflows to track their inter-relations… not preferable. REALLY interesting in seeing this in an update :wink:

Thank you everybody for your patience and for providing feedback on this. We know this is a huge pain point today in Workflows and definitely want to solve it, but we want to solve it the right way. This is something we hope to tackle in 2019, and we’ll keep you updated here.

How long should we have to wait in order to have folders ? Seriously ? Hubspot claim to be the tool businesses can use to grow but it’s not the case. We can’t grow and manage worfklows with no folders.
Please do not make the same folders organization as in List. It’s useless. It should make our live easier. Being obligated to clic in folders to see what is inside is a pain in the **bleep**. A good folders organization is in the new Design Tools.

This is what we need :

- folders on the left, content on the right.

- being able to open a folder and see what’s inside.

- seeing the whole picture in a quick snap.

Cannot upvote this enough. There are folders for smart lists, emails, landing pages. Workflows is a key feature that sets HubSpot apart, and users need the ability to organize them.

The use case is that I have some portals with 100+ worfklows, they could be grouped together based on a number of criteria, whether it’s their primary function (content download follow up or lead scoring, for instance), geography (all the workflows related to a certain region), or campaign. Using a naming convention is not enough when you get into the triple digits. Having them organized makes it easier to go back and update criteria when needed, troubleshoot any History, or clone and use for another campaign or purpose.

I would be more than glad to gather and provide additional use cases.

Upvote!!! This is needed so I can seperate data clean up workflows from marketing/email nurture emails.

Yes PLEASE
