HubSpot Product Update: October 2025

Written by Emily Allen | Oct 29, 2025 2:30:00 PM

Welcome to our HubSpot Product Spotlight for October. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the team's favourite HubSpot updates from the last month. Ready? Let’s dive in!

Now Live

These are all the new features live and ready to use in your HubSpot portal.

1. Timestamp Visibility in the Customer Portal

What is it?

We added timestamps to messages in the Customer Portal, giving clients full visibility into the exact time messages were sent or received.

This is an increasingly common request from customers who rely on the portal to collaborate on tickets and need accurate timing for every message exchange. Until now, the portal only displayed message dates, which wasn’t detailed enough for teams tracking response speed or conversation timing.

Why does it matter?

For clients using the customer portal for ticket visibility or progress, timing matters. Customers have shared feedback on wanting to see exactly when a message was sent or received. This helps with providing conversation context when multiple messages are exchanged within a single day.

Adding timestamps improves transparency and collaboration between customers and their clients in the portal. This update provides a real-time reflection of conversations.

2. Task Queues in CS Workspace

What is it?

Task queues is a feature that adds a "Start All Tasks" button when more than two tasks are listed in the the CS workspace, allowing users to work through them sequentially rather returning to the workspace every time a task is completed.

Why does it matter?

This helps user make their workflow more continuous between tasks.

3. Help Desk Customisable Search Results Columns

What is it?

You can now customise the columns that appear in your help desk search results table. Choose which properties to display, rearrange column order, and save a layout that's tailored to your support team.

Why does it matter?

When customers reach out for help, speed and context matter. Customisable columns make it easier for agents to find the right ticket by surfacing the information that matters most directly in the search results.
 

4. Automation Overview Updates

What is it?

Automation Overview now includes powerful new features to help you take action and learn faster. You’ll see your recently created workflows, AI-powered automation recommendations tailored to your portal, an improved Issues card, and HubSpot Academy automation resources—all in one place.

Why does it matter?

This update helps you get more value out of automation, faster. By surfacing your recent workflows, personalized recommendations, and learning resources in one place, it’s easier to spot what needs attention, take quick action, and continuously improve how you automate.

5. Google Meet App: New Redesign for Advanced Global Settings

What is it?

Introducing a newly redesigned global advanced settings page where admins can now control the recording, transcription, and sync features of the Google Meet app across their organization.

With flexible filtering options, admins can now apply settings across the entire organization or tailor them for specific users or teams. This update gives admins more control to decide how meeting data is captured and integrated within HubSpot, unlocking clearer insights and better team collaboration.

Why does it matter?

The redesigned global advanced settings page provides admins with more control over how meeting data is captured, synced, and shared across HubSpot. This drives stronger governance across an organization and prevents data silos from being created. Now, admins can ensure that their teams are recording, transcribing, and syncing meetings more efficiently with less manual effort.

6. Easily Request New Data Sources for Data Studio

What is it?

Data studio now has a form for users to submit requests for new integrations and connection methods.

Why does it matter?

The new form allows users to quickly communicate their needs to HubSpot, helping us prioritize new integrations and engage early adopters more easily.

7. Speech To Text into the Breeze Assistant mobile app — Now on Android and iOS

What is it?

Now available on both Android and iOS, Speech-to-Text (STT) lets you dictate your messages directly into Breeze Assistant. Whether you're on a walk, in transit, or just prefer speaking over typing, you can now interact with Breeze using just your voice.

This feature turns your spoken input into text in real-time—so you can get answers, create notes, or kick off workflows without lifting a finger.

Why does it matter?

Using STT is simple:

  • Open the Breeze Mobile App on your Android or iOS device.
  • Tap the microphone icon in the chat input.
  • Start speaking—your voice will be converted to text as soon as you stop talking.
  • Breeze responds just as if you’d typed your message manually.

It’s perfect for when you're on the move and need fast, hands-free interaction.

8. Customise Brand Voice and Identity Across Brands

What is it?

Introducing Brand Voice and Identity Customization for Brands (aka Business Units): You can now define a unique brand voice, identity, and kit for each brand (formerly known as business units) in your portal. This update allows you to tailor how content is created across HubSpot's AI tools to better reflect the personality, tone, and values of each individual brand.

For every brand, you can customize details like:

  • Tone and personality
  • Words to include or avoid
  • Inclusive language preferences
  • Brand mission, vision, industry, and more

Why does it matter?

These settings help generate content that feels consistent, authentic, and aligned with each brand’s voice—whether you're managing one brand or many.

HubSpot will automatically pull brand identity details by crawling the domain associated with each brand in your portal, as well as pull data from your CRM.

9. Improved Workflow Metrics and Filtering Panel

What is it?

HubSpot have redesigned the metrics panel in Workflows with a more intuitive filtering experience. Instead of choosing workflow versions and separate date ranges, you can now:

  • view metrics based on versions of the same structure (same actions etc.)
  • filter metrics by dates with simplified preset options like Last 30 days, Yesterday, and Last week
  • review the high-level metrics overview bar to quickly see enrollments that are Started, In Progress, and Completed.

Previously:

Now:

Why does it matter?

Before, users found it difficult to interpret metric counts because of the version-based filters and the need to choose granular dates within a version. This often led to confusion and inaccurate expectations.

With this update:

  • Users can easily filter metrics by common timeframes (e.g., Last 30 days, Yesterday, Last Month) without manually setting two date ranges.
  • Filtering logic is more straightforward, reducing misinterpretation of metric data.
  • The redesigned interface makes data review faster, clearer, and more consistent.

10. Customer Agent AI Recommended Short Answers

What is it?

We're introducing AI-recommended short answers for knowledge gaps. When your agent can't answer a customer question, you can now see a quick preview of what the response should be right from the Overview page or the Knowledge Gaps report.

Topics with AI-recommended answers are marked with a Breeze AI badge, and you can click "View short answer" to instantly see the suggested response without needing to dig into full conversation transcripts.

Why does it matter?

Fixing knowledge gaps is critical to improving your Customer Agent's performance, but reviewing individual conversations to understand what's missing is time-consuming. With AI-recommended short answers, you can see exactly what your agent should have said in seconds without the manual work of reading through entire conversations.

11. New Sandbox Banner for Easy Identification

What is it?

When you access a standard sandbox account, you'll now see a golden-tone navigation banner at the top of the main navigation that indicates your sandbox type. This helps you clearly distinguish between your sandbox and production environments.

Why does it matter?

Knowing which environment you're working in is crucial for safely testing changes without affecting your live data. Previously, the light yellow alert banner used the same styling as other system alerts, making it harder to quickly recognize when you were in a sandbox. This updated golden-tone banner provides immediate visual confirmation of your environment, reducing the risk of accidentally making changes in the wrong account.

12. Availability Status Selector: Set Temporary "Away" Status

What is it?

HubSpot have introduced an Away Timer, a new enhancement to the availability status selector in the Help Desk Workspace. Service seated users can now set themselves to “Away” for a specific time duration, after which they’ll automatically be returned to “Available” status. This reduces the risk of being left unavailable unintentionally and gives user greater control during short breaks.

Why does it matter?

Support teams often operate in fast-paced environments where brief pauses—scheduled or ad hoc—are necessary. However, it’s easy to forget to manually return to “Available” after a short step away. The new Away Timer ensures service seated users can confidently take a time-based break.

13. Add Google Drive Files to File Manager

What is it?

HubSpot have added the ability to import files directly from your Google Drive into HubSpot’s File Manager. With this update, you can connect your Google account, grant HubSpot access, and import your Google Drive files in just a few clicks.

Why does it matter?

Teams everywhere depend on Google Drive to store and share their most important files. Whether it’s sales decks, marketing assets, or customer documents, these files often need to be used in HubSpot. Until now, moving them required extra steps — downloading from Drive and re-uploading into HubSpot. This new integration eliminates that friction. By connecting Google Drive directly to File Manager, anyone can quickly access and manage the files they need without leaving HubSpot, making everyday work smoother and more efficient.

14. Enhanced Safeguards for Bulk Subscription Changes

What is it?

We’ve added new confirmation prompts when making large-scale (bulk) updates to contact subscription statuses. The updated experience clearly displays how many contacts will be affected and adds an extra confirmation step for updates involving 10,000 or more contacts.

Why does it matter?

Sometimes users can unintentionally change the subscription (opt) status of thousands—or even millions—of contacts without realizing the scale of their action. These accidental bulk updates can disrupt marketing operations, create compliance risks, and require manual reversions. This update helps prevent mistakes by making the scope of your bulk update unmistakably clear before it’s submitted.

15. Partner App Churn Analysis

What is it?

The Partner App Churn Analysis tool is a new feature available within the HubSpot Developer MCP Server (Public Beta), helping you predict potential churn, analyze usage patterns, and gain deeper insights into how your app is being used across your customer base.

Why does it matter?

You need simple and accessible ways to understand how your app is performing. This includes identifying usage trends, measuring the impact of recent updates, and seeing how adoption varies across different segments of your user base. The Partner App Churn Analysis tool gives you the data and insights to make informed decisions that improve engagement and retention.

16. A New Workflow Creation Experience

What is it?

The create workflow process now starts directly in the builder, with the ability to browse all available triggers upfront. Watch this 5 minute demo video to learn more.

Why does it matter?

In the past, when creating a workflow, the only available first step was to choose an object type. For newer users who haven't yet learned HubSpot terminology, the choice is overwhelming and confusing. For all, this means committing to a specific object, before even knowing if the trigger you need will be available there. If it isn't, you might assume the feature doesn't exist and miss out on an automation opportunity. Or, you'll need to go through the trouble of abandoning that workflow and starting a new one, repeating the process until you find what you need.

With this change, after choosing "Create workflow," you'll go directly into the workflow builder, where you can browse all available workflow triggers. When a trigger is selected, the object type will be set automatically, when possible, to save you clicks. You can easily switch between different trigger options while in this flow. This update makes it easier for you to find the best trigger for your use case. It also removes decision points that make it hard to start.

 

17. Enhanced Segment Builder Experience with New Advanced Features

What is it?

Build smarter, faster segments with a reimagined segment builder designed for clarity, control, and flexibility.

Our new builder brings three key updates:

  1. A wider, more spacious editor
  2. An updated intuitive data panel that helps you easily find the right properties or events
  3. New flexible filter logic that gives you the ability to toggle between AND/OR within and across each group

 

Why does it matter?

For the first time, you can build complex, precise segments in a flexible builder designed to match the way you think.

No more narrow editors, repeated filter groups, or endless scrolling and clicking to find the right property.

With the new segment builder, everything is designed to make segmentation easier and more powerful. The editor expands to show you all the filters you're creating, then collapses to help you focus on the data that is returned.

The new data panel organizes properties and events in a more structured, intuitive way—so you spend less time hunting and more time building.

And with flexible logic that lets you mix ANDs and ORs both within and across groups, you can express exactly the conditions you need, without limitations.

Instead of working around the tool, the builder now works with you—helping you move faster, build smarter, and create segments that truly reflect the complexity of your business.

18. User-Level Ticket Visibility in Customer Portal

What is it?

User-level ticket permissions gives you more control over ticket visibility in the customer portal. Previously, you could only set ticket visibility for contacts to view all organization tickets or their own tickets. Now, you can assign access at the individual user level, so managers, admins, or designated users can see all tickets, while others only see their own.

Why does it matter?

Not every user needs the same level of ticket visibility. With this update, you can:

  • Support more complex org structures with managers, contractors, vendors, and partners.
  • Prevent oversharing sensitive data by limiting visibility to the right people.

19. Personalisation Tokens in Email Templates now Support Fallback Values

What is it?

Fallback values for personalization tokens in email templates ensure your messages remain professional when contact, company, or deal information is missing.

Why does it matter?

You can now avoid common issues caused by missing token values:

  • Broken email formatting (e.g., "Hi ,")
  • Sequence enrollment failures
  • Poor recipient experience

By applying fallback values to personalization tokens, you'll reduce errors and save time on manual fixes.

20. Drag and Drop Reports onto a Dashboard

What is it?

A new side panel that allows you to add saved reports and templates directly to your dashboard without leaving the dashboard interface.

Why does it matter?

Currently, adding reports to your dashboard requires navigating away from the dashboard creation process, disrupting your workflow. This new side panel keeps you in context by providing access to all your saved reports and templates in one centralized location, making dashboard creation faster and more efficient.

21. Forecast Submission Cadence & Reminders

What is it?

You now have the power to set a consistent forecast submission cadence for your team and send automated reminders to ensure timely submissions.

Why does it matter?

Managers have long struggled to implement consistent forecasting processes. Without built-in structure or reminders, getting reps to submit forecasts reliably often means manually tracking them down, leading to low participation and incomplete data. This not only wastes valuable time but undermines accuracy and trust in your forecasts. Before today, submission status indicators offered some visibility into the recency of submissions, but lacked due dates, flexibility, and reminders.

With this new feature, you can:

  • Ensure complete, up-to-date forecasts without chasing reps
  • Make reps' lives easier with reminders
  • Say goodbye to scattered spreadsheets and manual follow-ups

By driving better rep participation, you’re improving both your team’s forecasting hygiene and your visibility into pipeline health so that you can proactively spot and mitigate risks.

22. View Reports in the Breeze Mobile App

What is it?

Now, when Breeze Assistant responds to your query with a report chart, you can see that chart in the Breeze Mobile app, where previously it would not load.

Why does it matter?

Breeze Assistant allows users to ask natural-language questions about their CRM data. It can determine that a report visualisation, such as bar charts, line charts, or tables, is the best way to show the answer to the user's question. This is particularly useful when the question refers to aggregate CRM data – information about not just a handful of records, but hundreds or thousands.

23. App Workflow Action Insights

What is it?

For apps with workflow actions, you can now see exactly how your workflow actions are performing and being used, directly from an app's settings page in Connected Apps.

The new workflow action insights reveal:

  • Which workflow actions exist across your installed apps
  • How (and if) your team is currently using those actions
  • How actively those actions are being leveraged (adoption and enrollment)
  • Where there are opportunities to expand adoption of workflow automation

Why does it matter?

This update brings a clearer, more actionable view of how well your connected apps are actively powering automation, and reveals where app workflow action opportunities are being missed.

There's less guessing and more information available for you to transform your connected apps into a powerful automation engine.

24. Object Library Migrating into Data Model Builder

What is it?

You can now access all object library functionality directly within the data model builder. In the data model builder, you can view an object's properties and associations regardless of whether the object is currently active, activate or deactivate objects, activate additional associations, and rename objects along with any properties that include that object's name.

Why does it matter?

Managing your data model in a single, centralized location saves you time and reduces the complexity of configuring your CRM. Previously, you needed to navigate to different areas to perform these tasks. Now, the data model builder serves as your single workspace to visualize, configure, and edit your entire data structure. This consolidation simplifies your workflow and makes it easier to understand how your objects and associations work together.

25. Improved Channel Assignment & Human Handoff Experience

What is it?

We’ve improved how Customer Agent is deployed across channels and enhanced the handoff experience when the agent can’t answer a question. These updates make it easier to set up the agent and provide a smoother transition to human reps when needed.

Why does it matter?

These changes give you more control and flexibility over how Customer Agent shows up in your customer experience. With faster setup and better human handoff options, it’s now easier than ever to activate the agent with confidence and ensure customers get the help they need, even when the agent doesn’t have the answer.

26. Remove Whitespace and Format Casing in Text Properties

What is it?

You can now automatically remove extra whitespace and apply consistent casing (like uppercase, lowercase, or title case) to your text properties.

Why does it matter?

Clean, reliable, and organized CRM data enables more accurate reporting, automation, and personalization. Desired formatting ensures consistency with your unified data by automatically applying consistent rules to text properties.

For example, you can now ensure that:

  • Names use title case
  • Custom tags stored as properties are all uppercase
  • Zip codes have no whitespace

27. Import Goals via CSV

What is it?

You can now bulk create goal targets for users and teams by uploading a CSV in the Goals tool. Previously, targets had to be entered manually.

Why does it matter?

Goal tracking is critical for holding teams and reps accountable, but setting up goals in HubSpot can be a cumbersome process. For larger organizations and teams that don't have the same targets every month or quarter, setting up a goal in HubSpot might mean entering dozens or even hundreds of individual targets.

Drafting goals in a spreadsheet is a common practice, so this change enables customers to simply build on existing processes and set targets for many teams and users in seconds.

28. Ads AI Starter Guide

What is it?

When you land in the Ads tool for the first time, you’ll now see an AI-powered guide that asks you a few quick questions about your business and advertising goals.

Based on your answers, it instantly recommends the best ad network (Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn) and ad type to start with — plus a simple beginner strategy.

Why does it matter?

If you’ve never run ads before, deciding where to start can be overwhelming.

This guide takes the guesswork out by giving you a personalized ad plan in under a minute. You’ll feel confident in your first steps, get ads running faster, and start generating leads sooner.

29. Apply Activity Logging Defaults to External Emails

What is it?

Admin-configured email logging rules now apply consistently across all email channels. Previously, these rules only applied to emails sent from contact record pages, but now they extend to emails sent through the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension, sales extension for Outlook, BCC and forwarding addresses, and sequences.

This update applies the email logging rules to emails that are logged to a record from HubSpot Sales Chrome extension or Sales Extension, logged by using the BCC/forwarding emails, and sent automatically by sequences.

Why does it matter?

You now get predictable email logging behavior regardless of how you send emails. This consistency eliminates confusion when emails appear on unexpected records or seem to "disappear" from where you expected them. With unified logging rules, you'll spend less time manually organizing emails and more time focusing on your prospects and customers.

30. Preview Segment (List) Filters

What is it?

A new "Filters" tab in the segment details panel allows you to preview read-only segment filters without needing to click into the segment.

Why does it matter?

Understanding how a segment was created is now easier and faster. You can quickly review segment filters without leaving the segment index page, saving time when managing multiple segments.
 

31. Help Desk Search Improvements

What is it?

We’ve enhanced the search experience in help desk to help agents find the right tickets faster and with greater confidence. Updates include smarter relevancy ranking, fewer partial matches, and a more precise exact match experience.

Why does it matter?

Searching for the right ticket shouldn’t slow you down. With these improvements, agents can now:

  • Find the right tickets faster — spend less time reviewing irrelevant results.
  • Trust the results they see — searches return more relevant and consistent matches.
  • Work more efficiently — get to the right ticket quickly so you can focus on solving for the customer.

32. Automation Overview Redesign

What is it?

After hearing your feedback, we've redesigned the Automation Overview page. This refreshed page is simpler, cleaner, and easier to navigate!

Why does it matter?

The new design helps you quickly see what’s most important including recommended next steps, performance insights, and apps to connect, all without feeling cluttered or overwhelming.

33. Blocked Numbers List (Outbound Calls)

What is it?

Add numbers to blocked numbers list for outbound calls.

Why does it matter?

The blocked number feature now offers comprehensive call blocking. Previously, it only blocked inbound calls. With this update, users can block both inbound and outbound calls, providing full control over unwanted contact. This functionality also serves as a valuable tool for audit compliance, allowing you to validate the ability to opt-out unwanted numbers from calls.

34. Custom Report Builder Quick Access to Report Settings

What is it?

You can now edit settings for reports built using the custom report builder, giving you the same flexibility as reports built with the single object report builder.

Why does it matter?

This empowers you to quickly customize existing reports without starting from scratch. If you see a report that's close to what you need but requires adjustments, you can now modify chart types, properties, and dimensions directly rather than rebuilding the entire report in the custom builder.

35. Conversation-powered Deal Risks and Buyer Goals

What is it?

Deal Insights now pull from your conversations. HubSpot’s Deal Risks and Buyer Goals include call transcripts as a data source—on top of emails and notes. This means AI-generated risks and buyer goals reflect the full scope of buyer-seller conversations, including what’s said live during phone and video calls.

Every conversation holds valuable signals about deal health. Until now, Deal Risks and Buyer Goals didn’t include phone or video call content—despite that data being among the richest sources of buyer signals.

With transcript analysis now live, you can:

  • Identify risks earlier and with greater confidence
  • Coach more effectively and forecast more accurately
  • See fewer false alarms and more actionable signals

Tip: To get the most value, add the Deal Insights CRM card to your deals. This surfaces risks and buyer goals right where you work. Learn how to add the Deal Insights card →

Why does it matter?

Every conversation is packed with signals about deal health. But until now, Deal Risks and Buyer Goals didn’t capture them from calls—missing some of the richest buyer context.

With transcript analysis now live:

  • Sales reps can spot risks earlier and adjust with confidence
  • Sales managers can coach more effectively and forecast more accurately
  • Customers see fewer irrelevant risks and more actionable ones

36. Leads Are Now a Standard CRM Object

What is it?

Leads now function as a standard CRM object with the same index page capabilities as contacts and companies, including standard tables, saved views, and board views.

Why does it matter?

When we initially launched leads, it was only available through the sales workspace and wasn't a full standard object. We later added leads to the Smart CRM navigation to give admins the ability to manage leads without accessing personalized sales workspaces, but it still lacked the full functionality you'd expect from a standard CRM object. This created an inconsistent experience—leads behaved differently than other objects like contacts or companies, and lacked features such as standard saved views and board views.

37. Generate CTAs with AI

What is it?

You can now generate pop-up CTAs using AI. Just write a short prompt describing what you need, and HubSpot will take care of the rest.

 

Why does it matter?

Creating CTAs no longer needs to be time-consuming. With AI, you can describe the pop-up CTA you want to add to your website, and HubSpot will generate a version tailored to your needs.

 

Beta

These updates are currently in the works and nearly ready to be released on your HubSpot Portal.

1.  Improved Organization and Search for Data Variables in Workflows

What is it?

A newly organized data panel, that makes it easier to find and use all the data from your CRM and workflows.

Why does it matter?

Adding data variables to your workflow actions is essential for crafting tailored automated experiences. But, with so much property and workflow run data available, locating exactly what you need can be time consuming. Also, the previous grouping by dropdown menus made popular options, like associated record data, hard to find. This made it seem like a lot of your CRM data simply wasn't available, limiting your customization options.

In the newly organized data panel, your range of options are clearly presented up front, helping you discover all that's available. The new data organization helps you navigate to different types of variables while reducing clutter and overload. We've also dramatically improved the search experience. Instead of manually navigating through individual categories, you can quickly find any data variable from all your sources with one powerful, unified search.

You'll notice a similar update for actions that act on associated records, for example when using a Set Marketing Contact Status action in a deal workflow. New defaults are automatically chosen for you for the most common uses, while the process to choose custom logic for selecting related records is easier and faster.

These updates makes it easier than ever to build precise, personalized workflows that drive real results.

 

2. Create Product Bundles

What is it?

You can now create reusable product bundles directly from the Product Library. This enables you to group commonly sold items like implementation services and licenses into a single, repeatable configuration. Bundles are inserted into the line item editor with one click and behave like standard line items after insertion.

Why does it matter?

Quoting is time-consuming and error-prone when reps manually add the same items over and over. Bundles eliminate that repetitive work by letting you define once, reuse everywhere. This reduces quote creation time, avoids mistakes (like forgetting installation or shipping), and gives RevOps more control over pricing consistency.

3. Forms Analyze Tab

What is it?

We're surfacing a new set of forms reports directly in the forms Analyze tab. These reports give you more flexibility than ever before, generate AI-powered insights and recommendations, and can be saved to your own custom dashboards. You'll also be able to edit and save reports on the Analyze tab, or even replace the Analyze tab with a custom dashboard tailored to your needs.

Why does it matter?

It's important to have all of your reports in one place, giving you the ability to monitor performance without leaving the app. AI-powered insights help you recognize trends instantly and helps you quickly answer common performance questions without building custom reports from scratch. You can add forms reports to your marketing dashboards to fully understand what's working and what's not.

4. File Manager Filter by Extension

What is it?

File extension filtering lets you quickly filter your files using common extensions such as PNG, JPG, and PDFs.

Why does it matter?

Finding the right file at the right time is crucial to your workflow. With file extension filtering, you’ll spend less time searching and more time using your files.

5. Visualize Custom and App Events on Contact and Company Records

What is it?

You can now add a middle panel card to Contact and Company records to easily visualize custom and app event occurrences over a selected timeframe.

Why does it matter?

Previously, understanding how a Contact or Company interacted with your product or content often required using multiple tools or manual work. Now you can easily see custom event or app event visuals with a middle panel card on Contact and Company records. The new visuals help your team spot trends quickly, contextualize customer behavior, and take more-informed next actions.

6. Time to First Human Assign Reporting

What is it?

We’ve added a new metric to HelpDesk Insights — Time to First Human Assign. This metric measures how long it takes for a ticket to be assigned to a human support rep for the first time.

This property captures the time between when a ticket is created and when it first lands with a human, excluding any AI or automated assignments. Once calculated, this value is written once and never updated, preserving the true “first assignment” moment.

Why does it matter?

In today’s support landscape, Customer Agent often handles the first layer of customer interaction — answering common questions, routing requests, or suggesting solutions. But when the Customer Agent can’t resolve an issue, customers expect a quick, seamless handoff to a human rep who can.

This metric helps teams measure and improve that handoff moment by tracking the overall time it takes for a customer to be connected to a human when AI can't help your customer:

  • Spot delays in human response, routing, or prioritization that impact customer satisfaction.
  • Identify and improve friction points in your Customer-Agent-to-human workflow.
  • Understand how quickly your team is stepping in to assist customers who still need a personal touch.

7. Form Submissions on the Company Record

What is it?

Company records now display form submissions from all associated contacts on the activity timeline.

Why does it matter?

When evaluating a company's engagement, you need visibility into all the touchpoints across the organization. Instead of checking individual contact records, you can now view all form submissions from associated contacts in one place, saving time and giving you a complete picture of company-level interest.

8. CRM Smart Summary

What is it?

Breeze Assistant now appears directly on record pages with smart summaries and contextual question suggestions. You can ask Breeze Assistant questions about your records, save prompts that run automatically, and add Assistant responses as new cards to your page for quick reference.

Why does it matter?

Instead of reviewing multiple tabs and properties to understand a record, you can now ask Breeze Assistant to analyze your data and surface insights immediately. Saved prompts mean you get the same intelligence on every record automatically, making it faster to spot opportunities, understand deal status, or identify next steps.

9. Introducing Buying Groups

What is it?

HubSpot are excited to announce the launch of Buying Groups, HubSpot’s new native version of OrgChartHub, which joined the HubSpot family in June.

Buying Groups bring powerful context right into HubSpot, making it easier than ever for your team to understand and influence every decision-maker involved in a sale.

The Buying Group functionality allows Sales teams to get a clear visual of the key stakeholders they are prospecting and selling to.

Input your Buying Group card onto Companies, Contacts and Deals today!
 

Why does it matter?

Buying Group

When you’re selling to big businesses, you’re not just selling to one person, you’re selling to a big, complex buying group.

That’s why top HubSpot customers map out the buying group and each buyer’s role from prospecting to through to close. It helps them:

  • See the whole picture: Who’s in the group, who’s calling the shots, and who’s influencing from the sidelines.
  • Spot the gaps: Identify missing connections or weak relationships before they become roadblocks.
  • Protect the deal: Keep everyone engaged and aligned to reduce the risk of a last-minute derail.

10. Projects Task Card

What is it?

Projects now include a default Tasks card that displays all tasks associated with the project.

Why does it matter?

Tasks drive project completion, but it hasn't been easy to view all tasks for a specific project in one place. The new Tasks card gives you a consolidated view where you can quickly review and manage all project tasks.

11. Projects API

What is it?

The Project API is now available in support of HubSpot's new project object which launched publicly last month. With this new API, customers and partners can programmatically create, read, update, and associate projects to related records.

Why does it matter?

The Projects API allows users to create and manage project records, as well as sync project data between HubSpot and other systems. Users can create new projects, retrieve existing ones, update project details, and delete projects as needed.

This new API gives partners, customers, and internal teams the flexibility to:

  • Automate project creation and updates based on triggers from other systems
  • Sync project data across tools to ensure teams work from a single source of truth
  • Build custom workflows and reporting on top of projects, tailored to specific business needs
  • Enable integrations with external project management tools

12. Multi-Account Workflows

What is it?

Introducing Multi-Account Workflows, a powerful update to Workflows that enables you to automatically create and edit CRM contact records and their properties across your connected HubSpot accounts. You will now be able to build workflows in one account that seamlessly create or update contact records in your other connected HubSpot accounts.

Why does it matter?

Multi-Account Workflows enables customers with complex organizational needs that benefit from separate HubSpot accounts to maintain the separation that they need while automating data orchestration between the connected accounts. The two most common use cases are routing form submissions from one brand or region to other brands or regions and the other running cross-sell campaigns across brands after a purchase.

13. Sequences: Use Default "From Address" for Workflow Enrollment

What is it?

Sequence enrollment via workflow now uses the user's default "from address" when sending on behalf of the contact owner, if a valid default is set.

Why does it matter?

Users enrolling contacts in sequences via workflow could not control which connected email address messages were sent from, often resulting in confusion or messages being sent from unintended addresses. This change ensures greater consistency and control, reducing errors and improving communication reliability for users managing automated outreach.

14. Customisable Sequence Unenrollment Triggers

What is it?

You can now customize when contacts are automatically unenrolled from sequences by turning off the default reply and meeting triggers.

Why does it matter?

Previously, sequences automatically ended when contacts replied to any email or booked a meeting - even if you wanted the outreach to continue. This interrupted communication flows beyond initial prospecting, forcing reps to manually re-enroll contacts or use workarounds. Now, you have the flexibility to continue sequences even after a contact responds.

15. Fully Customisable Index Page Quick Filters

What is it?

You can now customize the quick filters on your index pages. Add custom quick filters based on any property, remove default filters you don't use, and reorder filters to match your workflow.

Why does it matter?

Teams have different priorities, and the default quick filters don't always reflect what matters most to your business. By customizing your quick filters, you can focus on the properties that relate to your work, reducing clutter and helping you take action faster.

16. Rotate Ticket Owners Based on User Availability and Balanced Distribution

What is it?

The existing Rotate Owner action in ticket-based workflows only will be updated to allow for:

  • Selection of individual seated users AND teams with seated users
  • Assign to Customer Agent or Contact Owner with fallback options
  • Assign based on user availability (includes availability status, working hours, and out of office)
  • Consider ticket capacity limits for target users (SvH ENT only)
  • Distribute tickets in a balanced, round robin, or random way

Why does it matter?

Ticket assignment from the Rotate Owner action and from Help desk channel-based ticket routing do not assign tickets consistently, leading to the wrong user being assigned, long customer resolution times, and uneven workloads for service agents. By updating Rotate Owner to match the existing Help desk ticket routing capabilities, we can ensure consistent routing and assignment of tickets across HubSpot.
 

17. Restore Associations in Bulk

What is it?

View and restore historical association changes in your HubSpot portal. See when associations were created or removed, and revert them if needed.

Why does it matter?

Restoring data without its associations often leaves you with incomplete information. Associations power reporting, workflows, and customer context. This feature helps you:

  • Quickly recover from accidental association changes or deletions
  • Reduce manual work reconstructing lost context
  • Gain confidence in the integrity of your CRM data

18. Connected Apps Assistant

Why does it matter?

19. Onboarding Agent

What is it?

This agent uses information from the sales process and context provided by you to create a welcome email and automatically generate an onboarding plan on a project object. The welcome email introduces the CSM, references the customer's goals and shares the CSM's meeting link so the customer can book a time to talk.

Why does it matter?

This agent helps CSMs start the onboarding process for new customers quickly by removing the manual work of creating an onboarding plan and writing the welcome email. It retains the personalized feel of a CSM by referencing the conversations and knowledge you already have about your customer.

20. Customer Agent Can Now View and Edit Contact Properties Directly in Your CRM

What is it?

The Customer Agent can now view and edit contact properties directly in your CRM.

Why does it matter?

Your CRM holds a ton of context about your business and your customers—and now the Customer Agent can tap into that context to have smarter and more personalized conversations, making customer interactions smoother and more meaningful than ever.

21. CRM Smart Insights

What is it?

CRM Smart Insights instantly surfaces the most important data, recommended actions, and insights directly in your workflow, helping you move from data to action with speed and confidence.

Why does it matter?

CRM Smart Insights helps you move from data to action, instantly. Rather than navigating different tools or reports, you can now see intelligent insights, recommended actions, data quality flags, and more directly in your workflow. We surface what matters most, so you can act faster and with more confidence.

22. Snooze Tickets in Help Desk

What is it?

Support reps can now snooze tickets in help desk to temporarily hide them from views and come back to them later without losing focus. Whether dealing with a spike in ticket volume, wrapping up their day, or waiting on follow-up from another team, snooze gives teams the flexibility to stay focused and organized.

Why does it matter?

Prioritization is a core part of a support agent’s role, with reps often juggling multiple tickets of varying urgency levels throughout their day. With snooze, users can temporarily clear lower-priority tickets from their help desk views with a single click, helping to keep their workspace clear and making it easier to identify what needs attention right now.

23. Breeze Social Post Agent

What is it?

Social Post Agent is an AI-powered assistant that helps you generate and publish social media posts faster and on-brand. It’s built directly into HubSpot and turns key dates, events, and moments into polished, brand-aligned content across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and more. All you need to do is press "Run Agent" and this will create posts for all calendar events in the next month for you.

This agent delivers post ideas, drafts, and scheduling recommendations tailored to your company’s tone and voice, all in one workflow.

This is our new and improved version of what was called the "Social Agent". Here's what's new:

1. Each event has three post ideas created. This helps get new angles for each topic. We've heard from customers like you that this helps get over the blank slate problem

2. Post suggestions now much more on-brand and specific to your company and location

3. Updates to the UI to make it much more friendly and quicker for you to edit your draft.

4. You can now edit your "Social Identity" through the Train your Social AI button to sound like you. The Agent will remember your preferences for hashtags, tones, language structures, for every future run. You can upload any brand documents and see the posts sound just like you. We recommend setting this up before you run the agent.

Why does it matter?

If you're like most B2B marketers, social media creation is one of your most frequent and most time-consuming tasks. Yet it often starts from scratch, across disconnected tools, with the pressure to be creative, on-brand, and on time.

Social Post Agent changes that. This agent helps you turn calendar events into publish-ready social posts, fast. Whether it’s an upcoming event, holiday, or a cultural moment, the agent surfaces three curated post ideas or angles each aligned with your audience, industry, and marketing goals. You’ll never start from a blank page again.

Better yet, the content is personalized to your brand’s voice using Social Identity - a set of preferences you define once and refine over time. You can tell the agent how you sound:

  • Choose your tone
  • Define your preferred hashtags, keywords, and topics
  • Set your do’s and don’ts for voice and messaging (example: "use all lowercase for Instagram posts")

This means every post the agent creates will sound like it came directly from your team ready to engage, resonate, and convert. Social Post Agent doesn’t just save time - it inspires better content, strengthens your brand voice, and fits seamlessly into your publishing workflow.

24. Flexible CRM Views

Updates as of October 7, 2025

New table display settings provide a single place to configure how CRM tables look and behave, with quick adjustments for data density, pagination, and visual styling.

In the table toolbar, click the gear icon to open the display settings panel. From there, you can adjust the following options:

  • Data density: Choose Default, Compact, or Comfortable views to control row spacing.
  • Visual customization: Select pagination style and enable zebra striping to improve table readability.

Your settings apply immediately and persist for your user account.

25. Customer Agent Prompt Recommendations

 

What is it?

Customer Agent can now display smart prompt suggestions that appear in your chat widget based on what page your visitors are currently viewing. Instead of generic conversation starters, the widget shows relevant, helpful prompts tailored to each specific page, making it immediately clear how the AI agent can assist visitors with their current needs.

Why does it matter?

Most website visitors see chat widgets but don't use them because they're unsure what the AI can actually help with. This feature eliminates that hesitation by showing visitors exactly what questions they can ask right away. The result is higher engagement rates and more visitors getting the help they need instead of bouncing from your site.

26. Improved Contact Sidebar in Outlook

What is it?

An updated contact sidebar interface for the HubSpot sales add-in in Outlook that provides the same contact insights and triggers in a modernized panel.

Why does it matter?

This update makes contact details easier to review and manage without disrupting your existing Outlook experience, helping you stay productive while accessing CRM data.

27. Replaceable Analyze Tabs: Landing pages, Website Pages and Target accounts

What is it?

You can now replace the default Analyze tab with a custom dashboard in the Pages analyze tabs, and the Target accounts analyze tab, personalizing your reporting view.

Why does it matter?

This change helps you tailor analyze tab to your specific needs, making insights more actionable and accessible in your workflow. You can:

  • Contextualize data more effectively for your role or team
  • Access relevant metrics faster, improving decision-making
  • Increase analytics adoption by customizing the view to your preferences

28. CRM Record Timeline Updates

What is it?

HubSpot are rolling out an updated CRM record activity timeline that combines a modern new look with powerful new filtering capabilities to help you find what matters, fast.

Visual Redesign

  • Threaded Timeline Layout: We've refreshed the timeline with a modern, threaded layout where activities are visually connected. This makes it easier to follow the flow of engagements and understand the sequence of events at a glance.
  • Enhanced Visual Signals: A new icon system helps you quickly identify key activity types, so you can scan your timeline faster without needing to read each entry.

New Filtering Features

  • Sticky Header for Easy Access: The activity timeline header is now sticky, so filters stay visible as you scroll. This makes it easier to tweak your view without having to scroll back to the top.
  • 'Assigned To' Filter Options: Filter activities by Me (automatically scoped to the current user) or All deactivated and removed owners, making it easier to audit, reassign, or review activities connected to users no longer in your account.
  • Filter by Engagement Properties: You can now filter activities by properties specific to each engagement type, like Direction for emails, Outcome for meetings, and Status or Priority for tasks. This makes it easier to zero in on the interactions that matter most.
  • Smarter Filtering for Users or Teams Across Tabs: You can now filter by user or team across all tabs (like Calls, Meetings, and Notes), not just the Activity tab. When applied, you'll also see activity types that are not filterable by user or team, while still filtering out unnecessary information.

Why does it matter?

The activity timeline is one of the most frequently used surfaces in the CRM and now it's faster, clearer, and more powerful.

  • See the full story at a glance: The threaded layout helps you follow conversations and engagement sequences with less cognitive load.
  • Scan smarter, not harder: Icons and visual hierarchy make it easier to spot key moments without digging.
  • Get to what matters faster: New filtering options let you zoom in on specific types of activity, properties, or ownership, so you spend less time searching and more time acting.
  • Support better team workflows: Whether you're reviewing handoffs, triaging tasks, or cleaning up old activities, these updates give you the context and control you need to work efficiently.
