Bulk actions in Conversations Inbox

When using the Inbox feature, each item must be opened individually. Multiple selections and batch actions are not available (example for closing batch emails or assigning in bulk) 

 

The individual action only results is an extremely tedious and time consuming and inefficient process for managing messages through hubspot.

Hi Peter! At the moment, you can only perform bulk close, delete, and restore actions, but we're planning on adding more actions over time like bulk assignment.

 

What other bulk actions are you looking for? Would love to hear more so we can incorporate into future iterations of this feature!

Hey folks,

 

I want to apologize profusely for the lack of update on this issue from Hubspot’s end.  We dropped the ball on keeping the community aware of progress on this idea are are reviewing how to prevent that moving forward.  I specifically dropped the ball in setting a (really!) bad expectation around timelines earlier this year.

 

Our development team is currently working on Inbox bulk actions 

Being able to operate on multiple conversations at once is a key component in efficient communication management. It continues to be a high priority for us, but was delayed to focus heavily on reliability, and performance of our existing feature set.  We’re now refocused on critical enhancements like Bulk actions and will be delivering this feature soon.

 

Also - I’ll be updating this thread as soon as we have anything to share moving forward. If you have any questions please ask below and myself or team will try to address quickly!

Hi folks - Sorry for the radio silence on our side around this issue.

 

Delivering this functionality is a deceptively hard engineering and design challenge. With an operation that impacts multiple threads at once, we need to update many components of the Conversations inbox, for every active inbox user's browser, instantly, while they are actively interacting with the data being changed, in a performant way, without confusing users through behavior like "all the threads in this list suddenly changed or disappeared!"

 

We do hear your feedback and see the need for this update. We are actively working on delivering this functionality and expect it to be available in the next month!

 Great Idea, I have also raised this. It would make thing so much more efficient.

In general, we love Hubspot and most if not all of the product is amazing...except shared inbox. Bulk actions are a must - without them the product is almost unusable. We'd like to move our shared inbox from GrooveHQ into Hubspot, but it would be painful to do it today...

This would be very beneficial for our industry as well.  Once we close out jobs in our software, each job is given an invoice and they all hit our email and there is a bunch!  To delete one by one is very tough when we are busy!

We have the same problem, and yet not a solution to this.

How has this not been responded to by @bsn ??? It's been nearly a year...  WE NEED THIS ANSWER! 

*Another note* - Latest comments should be on the 1st page, not the 3rd...

Some advice for you, Make use of tickets and change your mailbox settings to auto-create a ticket when a conversation is received.

Already tried that, does not work @gjacobs .  @HubTrog I assume that you are from Hubspot could you give us a solution, its unacceptable that we don't have a solution for this, if not people are going to start to question the "Quality of your service". 

It has been a problem for more than a year.
¿Where is the solutions guys?

You promise to the community an answer in a month, we still waiting for an answer after 3 weeks... this is unacceptable. Could you give us a solution ? 

Best,

This is a joke.  This is basic functionality Hubspot.  We're not launching the space-shuttle here people...just want to bulk delete some conversations.  It makes inbox extremely unusable.  Going back to Zendesk.

Like a Bulk Delete button? Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

So annoying that I need to delete these conversations one at a time. Also annoying that all of our invoices, which we copy to ourselves so that we have records, are in this conversation inbox and we cannot just get rid of the hundreds with a few clicks and then one massive "delete". C'mon Hubspot!

This really needs to be implemented. I feel this is a major oversight on HubSpot's end.
