Company and contact info mandatory to create a DEAL

Hello,

 

I am just starting with Deals and I have an issue regarding the mandatory properties to create a deal. 

 

When Creating a Deal, I want my team to put the Company and the contact associated with the deal. Both information are Mandatory to create a Deal. Today this is not possible.

 

It seems like a no brainer to ensure team are never missing basic information in a deal.

 

Thank you

Hello everyone - an update that this feature is now out to 100% of portals (Starter and above). Please note that it's not reflected in the mobile experience yet - but we are prioritizing that for 2023. Thank you so much for the consistent feedback, and please continue to post feedback on any improvements you'd like to see to future iterations of this functionality.


Thanks,
Rachel

Edit: Details on how this feature works can be found in this KB article.

Hi all! An update for you - We are currently in private beta for a feature that will allow you to set associations as visible or required when a standard object record is created. This would include the ability to require users to associate a company or contact when a new Deal is created. 

 

Your CSM can request access to this beta on your behalf. We plan to move this feature to public beta in the near feature based on usage and customer feedback, at which point customers will be able to opt in themselves. Thank you all for your feedback!!

Hi All, 

 

I'm happy to update that our product team is currently exploring how to solve the problem of setting associated records to deals mandatory in deal creation in HubSpot. In the meantime, please continue to leave your comments and use cases here in this thread

We build a lot of our email segmentation based on characteristics of a deal associated with a contact. I also create re-booker reports, based on the lapsed bookers etc - if I can't enforce the adding of a contact to every deal, its likely that a)some contacts will be treated as though they have not booked (no associated deal) and b)email threads will not be tracked against deals.

Hi,

 

What is the status of this? This request is 5 years old and is required not in only our business but any CRM (have worked on over 19 global systems).  When contact and company association is NOT mandatory, the deal is not only missing info but theres a long list of sequences and workflows that cannot trigger.
