Hello product team,   For HubSpot admins, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a portal organized, cleaned up and prevent overall chaos. Especially in Enterprise portals with sometimes hundreds of users, it's almost impossible to get users to follow a naming convention for email names, landing page names, workflow names. Quickly this becomes a cat and mouse game where HubSpot have to constantly chase and remind users to name their assets correctly.   Why is this currently a bad user experience for users?   Naming conventions are usually documented outside of HubSpot, in a wiki, stored as a Google Doc or something similar along the same lines. Forcing them to interrupt what they're currently doing, look up a naming convention and then come back means that they're losing time. They also have to leave HubSpot momentarily. Even then, they might misunderstand the naming convention and type in an incorrect name.   Why is this currently a bad user experience for admins?   Incorrect naming means that list or workflow filters for Recent conversion might not work. It can also mean that reports become a mess, if these reports are pulling in asset names.   If admins have to look into this on a permanent basis, in portals where there are new assets every day, this takes time away from developing the HubSpot portal and generating more value for all users.   Here's what a solution could look like   To solve this, it would be great if there were tools to enforce a naming convention. Ideally, admins would specify what constitutes a correctly named asset and similar to the forms editor, arrange fields to their liking.   Here's a quick mockup of what this could look like when creating a new page.     The user could select from dropdowns which team they belong to, the language of the assets, the asset type, include a title and date. The system would then generate a title from this that cannot be further edited.   Admins should be able to specify the options for each dropdown, separators, order and field validation (e.g. max length for a title).   (In case this is eventually introduced, please consider to make this a feature that is at least included in all Professional and Enterprise subscriptions.)   I would love to see this for all assets in HubSpot: emails, workflows, lists, campaigns, imports, properties, files etc.   Thanks in advance for reviewing! ...read more

When pre-scheduling SOCIAL posts with the blog auto-publishing feature, it would be super helpful to have the social post show up on the social calendar.    Right now, it only shows up AFTER the social/blog post goes live.  However, it would help eliminate other teammates from scheduling social posts on the same day/time if we could see when these blog social posts were already pre-scheduled.  🙂 ...read more

As all of you might know the current blog post is just a simple rich-text which is fine for general posting. But many of our customers want a flexible solution. Like multi-column grids with different content-types like images, text, accordions/toogles ...    The only way to achive this right now is a custom module with all possible content types and pre-defined layouts and a repeater function.    It would be awesome if the blog post would get the drag&drop functionality so that every customer/user could design each blog post to his needs.  ...read more

Posting on behalf of a customer here:  Would be amazing to have specific domains exempted from the need to be moderated in blog comments since users can often have their own employees commenting on the posts. This would greatly lessen the burden of the moderator. ...read more

This is a simple ask. Add the ability for us to turn off publish dates for blog posts, whether that applies to our entire blog or it can be applied to individual posts. Having old publish dates makes the content look stale and outdated, when it often can be evergreen. I believe you can edit the publish date, but that's a lot of unnecessary work when you could just turn off the date altogether! I'm not constantly editing the publish date of all my blog posts. That's ridiculous.  ...read more

Who: marketers who want more control over the blog author pages   Goal: customize the settings for the blog author pages and add additional modules to relevant information.   Value: a more customized brand experience for the blog pages   The Blog Author pages inherit the settings from the Blog Listing template.   For example, the hero image on the blog listing page is then used on the blog author pages, but if you want to use a solid color or different image for each author, you can't directly edit the blog author page. ...read more

As I am coordinating our blog and pages in Hubspot CMS, I have the following challenge: I write for several different industries and persona within one blog I write for different stages of the journey With a growing list of posts, I created a worksheet to oversee all posts for a specific industry and persona and stage Why? Because I want to link the correct posts (within a persona and industry). Hubspot offers a search when you look for Hubspot content to link. Unfortunately, blog titles can be very similar, and therefore searching and linking is tiresome. I would love to have an internal blog title (e.g. XY-123) as this would give me an easy and exact hit.   At the moment, Hubspot offers only one blog title. Obviously, it makes no sense to offer my audience a post title like XY-123. I would like to have an internal title instead. When searching Hubspot blog content titles, both (external and internal) titles should be included.  ...read more

Settings for featured image on social media When creating a blogpost it would be fantastic to have a feature that makes it easy to change the featured image for social media. As it is today in the settings for featured image, it also changes the top image of the blogpost.   This is how we want the blogpost to look like This is how we want the blogpost to be And then it would be great to choose a featured image for social media in the settings like this for example As it is today, when I choose the one with text, it also changes the featured image for the whole blogpost But when we do that, the blogpost looks like this.  .....so it looks like this. Her we want just a clear image   So, we want 1 top featured image on the blog, and when we link to the blogpost on any social media platform, we want it to be another one.  So the oppertunity to have another image for the thumbnail on social media platforms. Here is an example of how it would work on LinkedIn from LinkedIn This is how it's today This is how we want it to be Why? Different thumbnails for different platforms are important, and if we can have settings like that directly when creating a blogpost in HubSpot we ensure that we avoid manual errors and mistakes. ...read more
