I need to create a report showing the number of clients that terminated their service in a given quarter. I track it by setting their status to exclient.
Unfortunatelly we do not use recurring billing in HubSpot so what I have is a date when the deal was closed and the fact that they are now an ex-client?
Can I create a report without having to create a custom field with the “became ex-client date”?
Hi @KubaNowakowski,
Not directly, no. You could export the property history for the field that stores the ex-client status: Organize, delete, and export properties
Once exported, you can re-import the date from the export file into a date property.
But yes, going forward, I’d recommend creating a workflow that enrolls records when the status is changed and then stamps the current date (“Set property value”).
Best regards!
Hi @KubaNowakowski
To the best of my knowledge you will have to use a custom date property to time-stamp when someone became an “ex-client”. Even though HubSpot captures when property values are set or changed in the property history of a contact, that information is simply “meta data” and not something you can use in reports.
If you have a Pro Subsciption I would recommend creating a custom date property and setting up a workflow that “timestamps” that property when a contact’s status changes to “ex client”.
I hope that helps.
