Great minds think alike

It would be good to be able to change the language of a site programatically without the use of the HubSpot Language Switcher Module. I can then use smart rules based on the selected language as you normally would. ...read more

Use case: we have a redirect that gets updated regularly, but I need to know exactly which target link was used in what time period and ideally also, who did which update when. ...read more

We have a primary domain and a secondary domain. These websites are for 2 completely different audiences. Currently our blog listings page & blogs cannot be cloned with the the secondary domain url. I feel this should be a feature because if a visitor is on our secondary domain the blog link in the navigation bar would bring them to our primary domain and there is no way they can get back to the secondary domain. This needs to be an added feature!! ...read more

To configure vanity url within HubSpot instead of going through external app like bit.ly.   Since domain configuration is required for landing pages and emails, why not have the vanity URL configuration for social posting within HubSpot instead of having to deal with 3rd party app. The reason why plenty of us use HubSpot is to have a single point of platform to manage all things marketing.   Products like Hootsuite can do this without having to rely on external app. ...read more

We are working through an issue with one client who hosts their website on Hubspot CMS. Bing stopped indexing their pages in August 2022. Prior to that date indexing was fine.    Researching this Bing (and Microsoft) is suggesting we install IndexNow (https://www.indexnow.org) on the website. CloudFlare has native support for IndexNow but we do not have access to HubsSpots version that is used on our websites hosted by Hubspot.    Upon researching futher, to manually set it up, we need to place an api key in the root domain. Since we cannot do that on Hubspot we are using the workaround by uploading the file and using a Hubspot Redirect.    So far so good. The next problem comes when updating search engines like bing, you need to run a script that submits the pages that changed to the search engine. Cannot do that with Hubspot, even though Hubspot knows when page content changes.    The idea is for Hubspot to either support configuring CloudFlare to update search engines automatically when website pages change or to natively support Index Now and send notice to search engines once a day regarding URLs that have changed.    Wordpress has two options, The Yost plugin supports Index Now and Microsoft offers a free plugin to Wordpress that does the same.    Please support Index Now.    Here is the Bing page on the topic. https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/august-2022/IndexNow-adoption-gains-momentum   ...read more

I recently found out you cannot create a URL redirect for a file that is currently, or was previously hosted in your HubSpot File Manager. From Support: It isn't possible to create a redirect on any URLs with the /hubfs in the URL   Even if you delete the file from the file manager altogether - the previously occupied URL still cannot be redirected. The best solution is: A) either delete the File (which leads the user to a 404) or B) upload a dummy file to the same path in the file manager   Both of these options are less than ideal.    Seems like wordpress and other CMSs offer ways to execute Hosted File to URL redirects.  Hope to see this feature come into HubSpot soon. ...read more

Is it possible to add an "open all links in new tab" function for blogs? As of now, the default is to have the links open in the same window — if you want a link to open in a new tab, you must manually select each individual link to change the default setting.   For research-heavy blogs, on average we spend an hour per blog solely on clicking on each external link to open in a new tab. As users, since this function is already provided, it would be more efficient to have the option to apply this to an entire body of text.   For our team, this would save us a ton of time. If we could apply this to the entire body to begin with, we could get it done in less than 10 minutes.    Here, you can find a previous HubSpot forum with a similar idea — other people have continuously been experiencing this same issue since 2017. And in terms of SEO, if you’re opening external links in the same tab as your site, this affects both you and your users.    The optimal user experience would be for the external link to open in a new tab, and for the blog reader to continue reading the post, going back to the other tab later. Otherwise, once the reader leaves your website, they likely won’t make it back.    In fact, this HubSpot blog states “opening a link in a new browser window, as opposed to the window they are currently in (your website) makes it less likely that a user will permanently abandon your website for the one you linked to.”    All companies are different. Optimal experiences are different. Workflows are different. We should have the option to decide what works best for us and our clients while having the tools to make our workflow easier.    If we can change link behavior on CTAs manually, why not allow a default setting? ...read more

Currently, there's no way to access a specific pipeline directly via URL.   Ex: I have two pipelines, 'Sales Pipeline' and 'Sales Pipeline 2'. No matter which one I select on the dropdown, the URL will stay the same. (https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/XXXXX/deals/board/view/all/).   We have a custom system with an entity that maps 1:1 to a Sales Pipeline. We would like to have a button that opens the related sales pipeline directly. For example, the url link for the 'Sales pipeline 2' could be for example: https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/XXXXX/deals/board/view/sales-pipeline-2/     ...read more
