HubSpot announced the launch of a new template marketplace featuring hundreds of powerful web designs composed of themes and new standalone modules. Key features include:

 

  • HubSpot Template Marketplace hosts new getting started content and an enhanced collection experience that highlights some of our favorite themes, including the latest Best Themes for New Modules.
  • Themes are a cohesive bundle of page templates and design components with plenty of styling options, so users can quickly bring their websites to life.
  • Modules are reusable building blocks that add more functionality to a website, going beyond the basics of a theme.

 

New standalone modules include:

 

  • More interactive displays, like cards with flip animation, unfurling content, video playlists, and hover effect imagery.
  • More engaging designs, like animated statistics, scrolling ticker tape, and countdown clocks.
  • More elegant formatting, like stylized headers and quotes, visual timelines and maps, image and logo galleries.

Google Enhanced Conversions

Google enhanced conversions is an ad conversion events feature that can improve the accuracy of your conversion measurement and unlock more powerful bidding. It supplements your existing conversion tags by sending hashed first-party conversion data from your website to Google in a privacy-safe way. The feature uses a secure one-way hashing algorithm called SHA256 on your first-party customer data, such as email addresses, before sending to Google.

Working Hours + Custom Voicemails

Working Hours allows you to set user availability in HubSpot. By setting working hours, reps can better manage their availability and ensure that they're available to take calls during business hours. Users can set their daily availability by hour and timezone. This can be especially important for businesses with global customers, as your reps can set their working hours to align with specific time zones.

 

For admins, having calling reps set their working hours enables you to plan staff coverage more efficiently, ensuring that there are enough reps available to handle incoming calls.

 

Custom Voicemails allow your teams to add a personalized touch to voicemail messages so your customers and prospects can connect directly with your brand. Having a personalized greeting that includes information such as the rep's name, company, and availability will allow you to save time and ensure that every caller receives a consistent and professional message. This can help build stronger relationships with customers and prospects, and increase the chances of them leaving a message or returning your call.

 

*available to Sales and Service Hub Starter+ customers

 

Inbound Calling Tab Now has a Dedicated Window

Now, the Inbound Calling tab opens in a dedicated browser window. The Call tab page enables you to receive inbound calls in your HubSpot browser. The page must remain open to receive inbound calls.

Renaming Prospects to Website Visits

With the addition of the prospecting workspace (currently still in public beta) to Sales Hub, we're renaming the prospects tool to "Website Visits" to better distinguish the purpose of the two tools and the functionalities they provide.

 

Over the coming months, we will be working on integrating the data in the prospects tool (now website visits tool) into the prospecting workspace to help sales teams better source and engage target accounts. Stay tuned.

 

This is purely a name change. We have made no functional changes to this tool.

Multi-Hub Updates

Lists Team Permissions Security Update

For customers enrolled in the Beta for Asset Permissioning- Lists, two security updates ensure the right individuals can access the right lists:

 

  1. Consistency in filtering outside the lists tool: Users who see a limited set of lists, based on their team assignment, will only see those same lists across tools where lists can be filtered on. These include e-mail, workflows, reports, and the Contacts and Companies page.

 

  1. Only Super Admins can assign a list back to All Teams. When a list is assigned to a team, members of that list are limited to records that have an owner inside that team (learn more about record ownership here). We have limited this functionality to super-admins because assigning a list back to All Teams enrolls all members who meet the list criteria, regardless of the owner.

 

*available to Marketing Enterprise, Sales Enterprise and Service Enterprise customers currently enrolled in the Private Beta for Lists Team Permissions

Support for “OR” Filtering on Many Marketing Assets

Following on from the release in CRM earlier this year, we're excited to share that it is now possible to use "OR" filtering in several marketing tools. This makes it possible to create far more customisable and more useful filtering to drill in to find the exact records you're looking for.

 

This is supported in Marketing Campaigns, Lists, Workflows, Forms, the new CTAs tool, and Feedback Survey responses.

 

*available to all hubs and tiers

 

Updates to Deleting a Contact

Email confirmation for permanent deletions will now only be sent to the HubSpot user who deleted the contact. This confirmation will be sent automatically.

Filtering Page Views by UTM Parameters in Lists

Referencing Company Lists in Contact Lists

Arriving at the Contacts associated with a Company list usually involves:

 

  1. Exporting the Company list data
  2. Doing some magic in a spreadsheet to arrive at your associated contacts
  3. Then importing those contact records back into HubSpot. 

This update reduces that process down to a few clicks inside of the Lists tool, while also supporting the reverse: referencing existing Contact lists in Company list filters - supercharging both list types.

Trigger Workflows with Events and Custom Behavioral Events

You can now trigger workflows when an event happens! This allows for more timely and personalized automation and better matches the way in which customers think of automation.

 

For example, in the previous triggers world (now referred to as "filter criteria" triggers), you would set up your workflow trigger to be: contact whose city is equal to “Dublin”, then do 'x'. In the new event triggers world, your trigger will be: when a contact’s city changes to “Dublin”, then do 'x'.

 

Additionally, there are some new exciting updates to triggers below!

 

  • Form interaction and form viewed events
  • Property value changed
  • Custom Behavioral Event trigger
  • Object creation events
  • Sales document events
  • Sequence engagement events
  • Calling events (call started and call ended)
  • Meeting events (contact booked meeting + contact changed meeting outcome)

 

*available to all Workflow customers with Pro+ plans

Property Validation Rules Now Enforced via APIs and Integrations

Property Validations allow admins to prevent data quality issues before they start. By setting up property validation rules, admins can control what data can be entered into their system ensuring the entry of clean, reliable, and accurate data.

 

Previously, these validation rules were only enforced in the UI and on mobile with manual entry but not on integrations. Starting today, when you set property validation rules in your system these rules will also be enforced via APIs and integrations.
