After more than 12 months posting this, absolute silence, nothing.
While we realise these features may not be something you can UPSELL customers, the are absolutely essential for anyone using a CRM feature with quoting features. However, if you value the feedback of the community to help improve HubSpot and what it offers, then everyone wins, HubSpot wins as it will drive more loyal customers. The flipside is that if it only focuses on new product features to upsell customers, then it will lose out bad, and loyal customers will leave.
Will HubSpot moderators continue to stay silent?
Or will it do the courteous (and right) thing to update the broader Hubspot community, and existing customers around how and when these fixes will be fast tracked and made available.
Yes to all of these! I was surprised to find that such basic finctionality was not standard in hubspot since som nay other things have worked so flawlessly.
We need to auto calculate sales tax according to region, have default terms and conditions (I'd love templates because we have different T&C depening on what type of service you're purchasing).
These really are basic quote functionality that should have been included before any quoting module was released. These aren't improvement requests, these really are a break fix as its not working as you would expect - please fix this urgently to make everyones lives easier
@hubspot can you share some info on if auto- calculating tax settings will be added soon. This discussion has been going on for years and no replies above.
For HubSpot to compete in the upmarket, this is highly important as is pricing tiers.
as an agency we are delivering complex integrations and the two main areas force HubSpot customers to use other systems are auto calculating tax and pricing tiers.
it just gets too manual and opens up too many opportunities for error for their sales teams.
I have 5 large integration projects all requiring the same thing. please can you comment.
We've just released an update to our HubSpot App 1ClickTools, that extends Workflows capabilities with new actions, and one of the actions is Add tax to a quote - https://www.resonatehq.com/hubspot-quote-tools Also you can generate quotes automatically, add line items from product library and do much more via HubSpot workflows
This doesn't quite solve the problem. The 1ClickTools Add Tax function only works once you create the quote and then exit it (before publishing).
You have to set up a workflow, add a delay (to give you time to write the quote and then exit it).
When writing the quote you have to create it, save and exit (before the time delay expires) and then open the quote again, check the tax was added and go through the steps to Publish it.
It is actually less work to just add the tax manually during the writing of the quote.
It also doesn't include the functionality to Add One-time Discount or Fee.
