HubSpot sends system-generated emails such as Month in Review directly to users in a portal, including aggregated business performance data such as contacts, deals, traffic, and activity metrics.
The issue is that these emails sit outside the normal admin control model:
- They are generated by HubSpot
- They are not configurable at the portal level
- Admins cannot centrally disable or control distribution
- Users receive them regardless of internal governance needs
- The only current option is individual user unsubscribe
Why this is a problem
HubSpot provides role-based access and permission controls for data inside the platform, but system-generated emails can distribute aggregated performance data outside those controls.
That creates a governance gap:
admins do not have full authority over how internal company data is distributed to users by email.
This is especially problematic in portals where:
- teams are segmented
- some users should not receive broad performance visibility
- external partners or junior roles exist
- internal data distribution must follow governance rules
Requested solution
Please add a portal-level admin control for HubSpot-generated summary emails like Month in Review, with one or more of these options:
- Disable these emails entirely
- Restrict delivery by role or permission set
- Allow admins to define the recipient list explicitly
Why this matters
This is not just a convenience request. It is about:
- alignment between the permission model and the communication model
- admin control over internal data distribution
- making HubSpot more viable for structured and enterprise environments
Summary
If admins can control who can access performance data in HubSpot, the same principle should apply to automated emails that distribute that data.
Right now, that control is missing
