IS there anywhere one can get actual help on this system please? I am drowning!
I am currently having to export all pipelines every week and filter in Excel as Hubspot can’t do a simple forecast. It’s driving me mad!
Hi @JPalmer1,
Could you confirm which HubSpot subscription you have? Your post is tagged as Starter – the forecasting tool in HubSpot is however limited to Sales and Service Hub Professional or Enterprise: Use the forecast tool
If you have the required subscription, please review the documentation and let me know at which point exactly you’re getting stuck. Happy to help in this thread here.
Best regards!
You can give Coefficient’s excel add-in a try. Makes it a lot easier to work with the HubSpot data!
Hi @JPalmer1,
The issue you’re facing is tied to your HubSpot subscription. As @karstenkoehler mentioned, the forecasting tool is only available on Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise; it’s not included in the Starter plan.
If you’re comfortable with technical setups, an alternative is using the HubSpot API + Google Sheets:
- Pull deal data using HubSpot’s API
- Connect it to Google Sheets via Apps Script
- Build automated forecast models there
In the meantime, double-check your current subscription tier. If forecasting is essential and manual exports are too time-consuming, upgrading to Sales Hub Pro may be worth it for access to built-in forecasting and advanced reporting.
