February 2023 Release Notes

[evmwang]

Featured Update of the Month

CRM Record Overview

The overview tab is a new space on the record page that consolidates all the relevant information you need to gather context and take action in one centralized location.

HubSpot customers use the record pages to display information that's critical to their business. Until now, you’ve had to search through the left sidebar, timeline, and right sidebar to gather that information.

HubSpot’s new record overview tab enables you to quickly get up to speed on a record by displaying all the relevant details front and center. This includes a data highlight to call attention to key properties, a summary of your recent communications with that record, and association tables to easily see more information about your associated records.

For example, if a customer service member were to view a contact record - the overview tab might display recent NPS alerts and communications from the customer. However, if a sales member viewed the same contact record - the overview tab might display recent website visits and a list of historical deals associated to the contact. 

Overall, the CRM Record Overview allows teams to surface the most important data or information on the record to the relevant teams.

Customize record create form by pipeline

We’re giving admins even more control over which properties are presented to users by enabling them to set conditional logic based on deal, ticket, or custom object pipeline. This means that admins can configure the “Create Ticket/Deal” forms so that depending on which pipeline a user selects, different properties appear as visible or required to users.

Note: This feature is not reflected in the Mobile app yet.

*available to all hubs with Pro+ plans

Improved Speaker Matching on Transcripts

We're introducing two updates to call transcription. With these two updates, users seeing Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 on their call transcripts will gain dramatically more visibility into who is speaking during call recordings. 

Manual Speaker Matching: Firstly, users can now easily set or change the speaker name on a transcript by selecting the correct name from a dropdown list of all the call participants. This will allow users to assign speaker names on any transcripts where HubSpot is unable to correctly identify the speaker.

Automatic Speaker Matching: Secondly, to go even further, instead of seeing Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 on two-party Zoom calls transcribed by HubSpot, users will now see the actual names of the speakers automatically matched by HubSpot AI. 

*available to Sales and Service Pro+ customers 

Append a recently logged engagement instead of logging a new one

You can now use a playbook to append a previously logged engagement instead of logging a new engagement.

“Rating” type questions in Custom Surveys now support calculating average

We are excited to announce the updated Rating type question for Custom Feedback surveys. With this change, the rating questions are now of the type “number”. This would mean that the responses for the “Rating” questions will be stored as numbers and this enables more reporting options such as calculating averages for the rating question responses across multiple surveys or for a survey over time.

Note: 

• This update applies to net new rating questions and not existing ones. All existing rating questions created prior to this change will continue to be supported but won’t have the support for calculating aggregate values such as averages.

• Rating questions in all standard surveys such as CES, CSAT, and NPS were already of the type Number and so this change is applicable only to the Rating question type in custom surveys.

*available to Service Hub Pro+ customers

Data Model Overview Design Improvements

In December, we released the data model overview to help customers set up their CRM and build a stronger data foundation as they scale. We’ve since made some improvements to make the tool clearer and easier to navigate, including:

1. Cardinality: Now you’ll be able to see if two objects have either a 1-to-1 or 1-to-many association (i.e, cardinality).
2. Filters: We’ve moved the existing object filters from the sidebar to the top of the page to give you more space to interact with the data model overview and create a more consistent experience across HubSpot.
3. Full page: We’ve improved the full-page experience to make it easier for you to zoom in and out and interact with each of the object cards.
