    Upcoming Automatic Update: HubSpot domain security settings will move to TLS 1.2

    Hubspot Developers updates legacy hosted domains to require TLS 1.2, automatically replacing deprecated TLS 1.0 and 1.1 settings on October 14 with no action required from customers.

    On October 14th, HubSpot will automatically update the minimum TLS version for your HubSpot-hosted domains from TLS 1.0 or 1.1 to TLS 1.2.

    This change affects accounts that previously configured a minimum TLS version of 1.0 or 1.1 in domain security settings. New accounts are already defaulted to TLS 1.2 and are not affected.

    Why does it matter?

    TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are deprecated protocols, considered insecure by modern security standards and no longer supported by any major browser. HubSpot removed support for these protocols in the HubSpot app itself in March 2021 and removed the option to configure them for new accounts earlier this year.

    This change brings legacy domain configurations in line with current security best practices and with how all new HubSpot accounts are already configured.

    How does it work?

    This change is automatic. There is no action required on your end.

    On October 14th, HubSpot will update your domain settings to enforce TLS 1.2 as the minimum version. We don't expect any noticeable impact to your site visitors or traffic.

    Learn more about TLS domain security settings on the knowledge base.

    Hubspot

    The new Starter is here: see what’s changed

    Hubspot reimagines Starter with personalized onboarding, AI help, deal and payment automation, Notetaker, Prospecting Agent, Data Agent, Breeze Assistant, Agent Builder, Email Sync, and a refreshed home page to help founders build demand, win deals, and automate routine work.

    Hey founders, if you’ve looked at HubSpot’s Starter plan before and thought, “This is probably more than I need right now,” we hear you.

    Running a business means doing a little of everything: finding customers, following up, selling, delivering, getting paid, and keeping the wheels on. None of these jobs is impossible on its own. The challenge is that they pile up across different tools, all while depending on you to remember what needs to happen next.

    That’s why we’ve reimagined Starter around the work founders actually need to get done:

    • Build demand.
    • Win deals.
    • Automate the dread.

    Instead of another system to manage, HubSpot manages these systems for you.

    Build more demand with the same team you have today

    You can’t grow on referrals alone. But creating a steady flow of new opportunities can feel like a job of its own.

    Start with a setup that fits your goals

    Our new personalized onboarding experience helps set up your CRM around your business and what you’re trying to accomplish, so you don’t have to begin with a blank system.

    Create useful content faster

    Use your customer data to help draft an email, landing page, or image. You still make the call on what looks right for your business; you just don’t have to start from scratch every time.

    Make it easier for leads to connect with you

    Forms and landing pages send new leads directly into your CRM. Marketing email and automation help you keep the conversation moving, without manually remembering every send.

    Find the right people to reach out to

    Data Agent helps you research your contacts and companies with custom questions, using information from your CRM, conversations, and the web. It can save those answers in smart properties, so useful context is ready for segmentation, personalization, and follow-up instead of living in a spreadsheet or someone’s notes. Data Agent is now available to Starter customers and uses HubSpot Credits for these runs.

    Win more deals by keeping the next step visible

    A deal usually doesn’t go quiet because you stopped caring. It goes quiet because you’re selling, delivering, invoicing, and running the business at the same time.
    Starter is getting better at helping you see what needs attention and act on it before the moment passes.

    See your pipeline more clearly

    Our refreshed index and deal board make it easier to spot what’s moving, what’s stalled, and what needs a nudge. Cleaner views and simpler controls mean less time hunting for the right record or setting.

    Research prospects and draft outreach without starting from scratch

    Prospecting Agent researches contacts and monitors companies for signals, then drafts personalized outreach using context from your CRM. You can review and approve what it recommends, or set up rules for ongoing outreach, so you spend less time digging through accounts and writing first drafts, and more time in conversations. Prospecting Agent is now available to Starter customers and uses HubSpot Credits when it recommends outreach for a lead.

    Walk into every meeting prepared

    You may be familiar with sending meeting links through HubSpot. Now, AI Meeting Prep brings together contact history, conversation context, and open deals before a call. You can spend your time having the conversation that moves things forward instead of reconstructing what happened last time.

    Keep calls and next steps from disappearing

    We’ve just launched Notetaker in Starter, which records, transcribes, summarizes, and logs meetings in HubSpot. Important details and follow-up tasks are captured while you stay focused on the person in front of you.

    Move deals forward with less manual updating

    With Deal Pipeline Automation, you can now automatically move opportunities through your process without asking you to update every stage by hand.

    Get paid without interrupting the customer experience

    HubSpot Payments (available to Starter customers) lets you create payment links and manage payments alongside the customer and deal information you’re already using. Revenue Agent can monitor open invoices, create follow-up plans, and send personalized payment reminders (with human approval) so getting paid takes less chasing.

    Automate the dread

    The follow-up. The note. The recap. The reminder. None of these tasks are especially hard, they’re just relentless when you’re doing six jobs at once. Starter’s automation just got a lot more powerful.

    Get help with the everyday work

    We’ve recently made Breeze Assistant a lot more powerful. It can draft an email, summarize a record, answer a question, or suggest what to do next using the context already in HubSpot. It’s there to help you move faster, so you can make more decisions.

    Keep records and follow-up details current

    Our new contact and company automation functionality helps you create automations directly from the records you’re already working in. Set up simple triggers and actions (like updating a property, creating a task, or sending a notification), so routine follow-up keeps moving without you having to remember every step.

    Build the agents your business actually needs

    Agent Builder lets you create custom agents without code. Describe the work you want handled, and review what it’s set up to do. It’s a way to take repetitive work off your plate without waiting for a dedicated operations hire. It’s now available in Starter.

    Keep your inbox and customer history connected

    Email Sync connects your inbox to HubSpot so new email activity can be associated with the right contact and related records. Replies to emails sent from HubSpot or your connected inbox can log automatically, giving you a shared timeline of customer conversations without asking you to copy and paste updates after every exchange. That means when it’s time to follow up, you, or anyone helping with the account, can see the conversation in context. Email Sync is now available in Starter.

    Open HubSpot and know what to do next

    For those of you who have been using Starter, the home page now looks different. It now surfaces the work that needs your attention: follow-ups, meetings, tasks, and recent activity.

    Get a head start instead of starting from scratch

    You don’t have to stop using every tool you like. Starter gives your customer motion a home: contacts, conversations, deals, and next steps connected in one place.
    That shared context is what makes the rest of the experience more useful. Your reports have something to work from. Your follow-ups have history behind them. Your AI tools have more than a blank chat window. And your team has a place to find the answer when the process can’t live only in your head anymore.
    And with Starter, you have access to live chat and email support, HubSpot Academy guidance, the Founder Focused community, and over 2,000 integrations and multiple MCP connectors to help you connect the tools you already use.

    Have a question about one of these updates? Drop it below. We’d love to hear what would give you the most time back each week.

    Walk into every meeting prepared

    You may be familiar with sending meeting links through HubSpot. Now, AI Meeting Prep brings together contact history, conversation context, and open deals before a call. You can spend your time having the conversation that moves things forward instead of reconstructing what happened last time.

    Keep calls and next steps from disappearing

    We’ve just launched Notetaker in Starter, which records, transcribes, summarizes, and logs meetings in HubSpot. Important details and follow-up tasks are captured while you stay focused on the person in front of you.

    Move deals forward with less manual updating

    With Deal Pipeline Automation, you can now automatically move opportunities through your process without asking you to update every stage by hand.

    Get paid without interrupting the customer experience

    HubSpot Payments (available to Starter customers) lets you create payment links and manage payments alongside the customer and deal information you’re already using. Revenue Agent can monitor open invoices, create follow-up plans, and send personalized payment reminders (with human approval) so getting paid takes less chasing.

    Automate the dread

    The follow-up. The note. The recap. The reminder. None of these tasks are especially hard, they’re just relentless when you’re doing six jobs at once. Starter’s automation just got a lot more powerful.

    Get help with the everyday work

    We’ve recently made Breeze Assistant a lot more powerful. It can draft an email, summarize a record, answer a question, or suggest what to do next using the context already in HubSpot. It’s there to help you move faster, so you can make more decisions.

    Keep records and follow-up details current

    Our new contact and company automation functionality helps you create automations directly from the records you’re already working in. Set up simple triggers and actions (like updating a property, creating a task, or sending a notification), so routine follow-up keeps moving without you having to remember every step.

    Build the agents your business actually needs

    Agent Builder lets you create custom agents without code. Describe the work you want handled, and review what it’s set up to do. It’s a way to take repetitive work off your plate without waiting for a dedicated operations hire. It’s now available in Starter.

    Keep your inbox and customer history connected

    Email Sync connects your inbox to HubSpot so new email activity can be associated with the right contact and related records. Replies to emails sent from HubSpot or your connected inbox can log automatically, giving you a shared timeline of customer conversations without asking you to copy and paste updates after every exchange. That means when it’s time to follow up, you, or anyone helping with the account, can see the conversation in context. Email Sync is now available in Starter.

    Open HubSpot and know what to do next

    For those of you who have been using Starter, the home page now looks different. It now surfaces the work that needs your attention: follow-ups, meetings, tasks, and recent activity.

    Get a head start instead of starting from scratch

    You don’t have to stop using every tool you like. Starter gives your customer motion a home: contacts, conversations, deals, and next steps connected in one place.

    That shared context is what makes the rest of the experience more useful. Your reports have something to work from. Your follow-ups have history behind them. Your AI tools have more than a blank chat window. And your team has a place to find the answer when the process can’t live only in your head anymore.

    And with Starter, you have access to live chat and email support, HubSpot Academy guidance, the Founder Focused community, and over 2,000 integrations and multiple MCP connectors to help you connect the tools you already use.

    Have a question about one of these updates? Drop it below. We’d love to hear what would give you the most time back each week.

    More leads contacted, more deals logged: Claude for Small Business launches new growth workflows

    Hubspot adds Claude for Small Business integrations that bring AI-powered lead response, pipeline management, CRM updates, and campaign tracking into Claude Cowork. The HubSpot connector now supports deeper customer context, attribution, email analytics, and approval-based outreach for small businesses.

    What’s new in Claude for Small Business

    Most small businesses don’t have a dedicated sales rep or marketing coordinator. The owner runs the growth operation. And until now, that meant lead follow-up, CRM updates, and campaign tracking only happened when a spare moment opened up.

    The Claude for Small Business plugin changes that. With the HubSpot connector for Claude, it can respond to inbound leads, log deals, update contacts, and track what’s working. Claude responds in your voice and by default, Claude waits for your approval before anything goes out. The result: a growth operation that takes the busywork off your plate so you can spend your time on the right task.

    Claude for Small Business brings a ready-to-run set of AI skills and workflows directly into Claude. These run in Claude Cowork, the desktop app where Claude works directly with your files and connected tools, including HubSpot. Since first launching in May, it’s handled the operational work: cash flow, invoices, contracts, campaigns, and month-end close.

    The new workflows extend Claude from running the back office to growing the business: finding and qualifying leads, responding to inbound in your voice, running campaigns, keeping your CRM current, and reporting on what’s actually working. The existing operational workflows got deeper too: bills can be read and coded straight from the inbox, timesheets staged into a payroll run, and recurring reports defined once and delivered on a schedule. And if something you need isn’t built in, Claude can build the connector or the custom skill itself.

    As Kipp Bodnar, HubSpot’s Chief Marketing Officer, put it: “Small businesses don’t need more tools, they need more time, more leads, and more confidence that the work is moving the needle. With HubSpot in Claude for Small Business, every new lead gets answered, followed up, and logged to the CRM, so owners can focus on their customers instead of their operations.”

    How it works with HubSpot

    Two solutions work together to make this run: the HubSpot connector for Claude and the Claude for Small Business plugin.

    The connector links Claude to HubSpot’s agentic customer platform, giving it access to your complete customer context, so it knows your business and what to do next. The connector also just shipped its biggest capability updates yet: full lead pipeline management, campaign attribution, marketing email creation and analytics, and conversations data.

    The plugin builds directly on those updates. Install it in Claude Cowork and you get the full growth skill set — lead response, pipeline management, outreach, and CRM automation — running on only the HubSpot context you allow Claude to see.

    What it does and what it looks like in your week

    Because these skills run on your actual HubSpot pipeline, contacts, campaigns, and customer history, every action reflects your business, not a template.

    Here’s what a typical week looks like:

    • Monday morning. /monday-brief pulls your HubSpot pipeline snapshot, your saved KPI reports, and your calendar into a single page. It lists what moved, what’s at risk, and the one thing that matters most this week.

    • A lead comes in at 9 PM Thursday. /speed-to-lead catches it, qualifies the inquiry against your criteria, drafts a reply with real available meeting times, and logs the contact to HubSpot. All before you’ve seen the notification.

    • You want to fill the pipeline. /grow-pipeline builds your ideal customer profile from the customers already in HubSpot, finds look-alike companies, writes personalized outreach in your voice, and logs every outreach to the CRM. Every send requires your approval before anything goes out.

    • A deal goes quiet. /crm-autopilot flags the gap, drafts a follow-up, and keeps the record current.

    • Friday afternoon. /growth-pulse preps your growth briefing for next week: sales by channel, campaign ROI, what customers are saying, and three growth actions worth taking. Everything you need going into Monday, without having to pull it together yourself.

    ChatGPT Ads, Now in HubSpot: Reach High-Intent Buyers in the Conversations That Matter

    Hubspot introduces ChatGPT Ads in HubSpot, the first CRM integration with ChatGPT Ads, now in public beta. Marketers can build, launch, track, and attribute campaigns inside HubSpot, sync leads to CRM, and send conversion signals back to ChatGPT Ads.

    Introducing ChatGPT Ads in HubSpot

    The searches that used to bring buyers to your site are increasingly ending inside AI chat interfaces. People are typing their questions, comparing their options, and forming their opinions without ever clicking through to a website. The intent is still there. The demand is still there. The buyer’s journey has just moved somewhere new.

    For marketers, that shift creates an uncomfortable reality: the playbook that drove growth for the last decade is losing its edge. Organic discovery, retargeting, and even paid search were built on a different kind of buyer behavior. And the channels you’ve mastered are no longer the only places or even the primary places where decisions get made.

    The question isn’t whether to adapt. It’s how fast you can.

    As the first CRM to integrate with ChatGPT Ads, ChatGPT Ads in HubSpot gives you a direct line to the buyers who are no longer clicking through from search. And because it lives inside HubSpot, every campaign, lead, and conversion ties back to the same place you run everything else. What makes the engagement valuable: ads are clearly labeled, never influence ChatGPT’s answers, and conversation data is never shared with advertisers. Every engagement reaches buyers at the moment of active intent, in an environment they already trust.

    Why Marketers Are Moving Here First

    ChatGPT Ads in HubSpot lives alongside Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and every other ad network you already manage. From inside HubSpot, you can:

    • Pilot one of the fastest-growing ad channels. Most marketers haven’t established a presence in ChatGPT Ads yet. Those who move now will capture demand that traditional channels no longer reach.

    • Build and launch ads without leaving HubSpot. Create campaigns, input ad creative, set your budget, and schedule your campaigns from the same place you launch ads across your other paid channels.

    • Capture leads and connect clicks to contacts automatically. Enable auto-tracking and HubSpot appends UTM parameters to your ChatGPT Ads URLs, linking clicks to contacts and deals in your CRM.

    • See performance next to every other ad channel. ChatGPT Ads data lives in the same dashboard as all of your other paid channels, enabling you to quickly understand which campaigns are working and optimize the ones that aren’t.

    How It Fits Your Workflow

    • Close the loop on revenue. When a ChatGPT Ads-sourced lead converts, HubSpot sends that signal back to ChatGPT Ads to improve targeting by optimizing for closed deals, not just clicks.

    • Sync leads instantly. Lead gen form submissions from ChatGPT Ads create contacts automatically in HubSpot CRM, ready for immediate workflow enrollment.

    • Attribute every channel equally. ChatGPT Ads plug into your existing attribution model, so every new experiment connects back to the same source of truth as your other channels.

    Get Started

    ChatGPT Ads in HubSpot is now available in public beta. You’ll need a HubSpot Marketing Hub Free, Starter, Professional, or Enterprise accounts, as well as a ChatGPT Ads account to connect.

    Please note that ads in ChatGPT currently reach users on ChatGPT’s Free and Go plans in the US, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Japan. Ads are not shown to Plus, Pro, or Business subscribers.

    Connect ChatGPT Ads in HubSpot →

    Introducing the AI Growth Bundle

    Together with OpenAI, we’re offering an exclusive AI Growth Bundle. Businesses can get the best of HubSpot and ChatGPT to help them drive growth:

    • HubSpot Starter and HubSpot credits at up to 65% off for one year
    • A buy-one-get-one-free offer on ChatGPT Business standard seats with annual subscription for 12 months.
    • Up to $750 match in ChatGPT ad spend until September 30, 2026 – and up to $500 match after. Terms apply.

    Legacy APIs and Apps: What's Going Unsupported and When

    Hubspot Developers announces a September 2027 end of support for v1-v3 APIs, legacy public apps, and legacy private apps, giving developers a 12-month migration window. It also points users to date-based versioning, Projects-based apps, and Service Keys for new private integrations.

    What's Changing

    At Fall Spotlight on September 15, HubSpot is announcing the end of support for v1-v3 APIs, legacy public apps, and legacy private apps, all with a September 2027 enforcement date. If your integration or app uses any of these, you have a 12-month window to migrate.

    This changelog covers v1-v3. Support for v4 is ending on its own separate timeline, March 30, 2027, which was announced earlier this year. See the previously published v4 changelog for that timeline.

    This post covers breaking changes only. For everything new and non-breaking in this release, including the APIs reaching general availability, the updated APIs, the new public betas, and the latest AI builder tools, see the Fall Spotlight 2026 developer rollup.

    Three simultaneous announcements share the same enforcement date: September 2027.

    1. API versions v1-v3 are going unsupported

    Endpoints using numbered version paths, /v1/, /v2/, and /v3/, will move to unsupported status. HubSpot will no longer release bug fixes, reliability improvements, or security updates for these versions. After September 2027, these endpoints will be unsupported. (Support for v4 is ending separately on March 30, 2027, announced earlier this year. See the v4 support timeline.)

    Migrate directly from any legacy version to date-based versioning (DBV). Do not use v3 or v4 as an intermediate step. See the DBV migration guide for the full process, including endpoints where the response shape changes, not just the URL path.

    2. Legacy public apps are going unsupported

    Public apps created before June 23, 2026 use HubSpot's pre-Projects app architecture. These apps move to unsupported status on September 15, with enforcement in September 2027. To remain listed in the Marketplace and retain certification, migrate to the current Projects-based app model. See the app migration guide.

    3. Legacy private apps must migrate

    Private apps built before the Projects-based private app model was introduced must also migrate to Projects-based private apps by September 2027. This is a separate announcement from the public app change.

    If you're building a new private integration, use Service Keys (now available) instead of creating a new legacy private app. Service Keys are the recommended path for lightweight integrations, internal tools, and AI agent integrations, with no full OAuth backend required. See the Service Keys documentation.

    Note: legacy private app creation is disabled on September 28, 2026 for new accounts and October 26, 2026 for existing accounts.

    For marketplace apps: two compliance requirements

    Apps in the HubSpot Marketplace must meet both requirements to remain listed and retain certification. They apply independently, so you need to address both.

    • Using unsupported API versions (v1-v4) after September 2027: your app loses its certification status.
    • Running on legacy app architecture (pre-Projects) after September 2027: your app is eligible for delisting.

    An app that has migrated to Projects but still calls v1-v4 APIs is still at risk of losing certification. An app using date-based APIs but still on legacy app architecture is still at risk of delisting.

    How to prepare

    1. Check which APIs your apps use.
      Starting September 15, the developer home tasks card shows "X of your apps use APIs becoming unsupported" and links to the migrations tab. Note: detection checks API calls at runtime, not your source code. Runtime calls to legacy endpoints will be flagged even if your codebase has been updated.

    2. Check your app architecture.
      Go to your Developer Home or Projects list to confirm whether your apps are Projects-based or legacy.

    3. Check your private apps.
      If you have any private apps created before the Projects-based private app model, those also need to migrate.

    4. Migrate using the guides.
      The DBV migration guide covers API versioning. The app migration guide covers app architecture.

    5. Watch the developer changelog for endpoint documentation.
      Not all legacy replacement paths are finalized yet. The March 2027 DBV release will include full per-endpoint replacement documentation for every legacy API. You have until September 2027, so plan your timeline accordingly.

    When is it happening?

    Date Milestone
    September 15, 2026 All three changes announced; 12-month migration window opens
    September 28, 2026 Legacy private app creation ends for new accounts
    October 26, 2026 Legacy private app creation ends for existing accounts
    September 2027 Enforcement; legacy APIs unsupported, legacy public apps and private apps also unsupported

    Starting September 15, the developer home tasks card is the fastest way to see your specific impact. Migration guides are available for API versioning and app architecture.

    Fall 2026 Spotlight - Developer / Builder Updates

    Hubspot Developers releases Fall Spotlight 2026, bringing Developer Platform 2026.09 GA, new and expanded APIs, a redesigned Connected Apps experience, and major AI builder upgrades. It also adds broader MCP and Claude connector capabilities for agents and data workflows.

    Developer Platform Version 2026.09 Updates

    General Availability of Projects Version 2026.09

    Projects version 2026.09 is now generally available, and is the second date-based release for the platform, with an 18-month support window. This release includes the following features:

    • User-level apps (general available): apps that act on behalf of specific users, enforcing that user's exact HubSpot permissions at runtime.
    • Service keys (public beta): the replacement for legacy private apps with scoped API access for in-account integrations with better security defaults, permission scoping, built-in activity logging, and key rotation.

    To create user-level apps, declare isUserLevel: true in your app configuration. When users authenticate via OAuth during app install, permissions will be scoped according to the user's CRM access at runtime.

    To create service keys, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Service Keys to create scoped API credentials without needing a full project-based app.

    Additionally, a new UI extension, app actions, is now in public beta. App actions let users perform custom operations on one or more selected CRM records directly from the CRM records list pages. When a user selects one or more records and triggers your action, HubSpot renders your custom React component, as a modal or panel, with the selected record IDs and object type available in the extension context.

    To get started with the new version, update the platformVersion field in your hsproject.json files to 2026.09.

    Connected Apps: Redesigned App Overview & App Owner Management

    The Connected Apps surface has been redesigned and now includes formal App Ownership, giving admins clear accountability over every integration in their portal.

    Redesigned app overview
    Each app now has a tabbed settings page instead of a single long page. Tabs: Overview (feature cards or marketplace listing), Insights (Activities, Events Records, Automation, Academy), and Settings. The Insights tab is the main addition for developers — Activities logs installs, uninstalls, permission events, and ownership changes; Events Records shows record-level activity your app is driving; Automation shows workflow usage powered by the app.

    App Owner
    Every connected app now has a formal owner, set automatically to the installer. Admins with install/uninstall permissions can reassign via the Manage link in the App Info panel. All ownership changes are written to the Activity Log alongside install and uninstall events.

    Deactivation awareness
    When a HubSpot user is deactivated, the flow now warns if they are the owner, installer, or authenticated user for any connected app. Admins can reassign before completing deactivation.

    Create Custom Events without linking to an Object

    Custom events no longer require an object record and can now be created using "No Object" (via webhook or API) for the Agentic automation builder.

    This enables immediate automated routing through HubSpot for external or stack-wide signals, such as:

    • Product releases or hotfix deploys (notifying CSMs)
    • BI report completions (emailing stakeholders)
    • Weather alerts (alerting field technicians)
    • External signals like FDA approvals, federal contract awards, or news paired with an RSS feed and webhook forwarder (routing info to reps)

    Objectless custom events can be used in Automation and managed alongside other events in Event Management (Data Management → Event Management).

    Generally Available (GA) APIs in 2026.09

    Conversations API

    The Conversations API is now generally available. It gives developers programmatic read/write access to HubSpot's Conversations Inbox and Help Desk (inboxes, channels, threads, and messages). Until now, most of this data was locked inside HubSpot's UI. With the API, you can pipe conversation data into external analytics tools, mirror threads into Slack or Teams, build AI workflows on top of unstructured message history, create custom routing and assignment logic, and archive conversations to meet compliance requirements. Authenticate with conversations.read and/or conversations.write scopes to list inboxes, retrieve connected channels, fetch and filter threads, update status and assignments, and read or send messages including internal comments. The API also supports webhooks for real-time events: thread creation, deletion, status changes, assignment changes, and new messages.

    The API now supports user-level auth, allowing integrations to perform thread, message, and inbox operations on behalf of specific authenticated users based on their assigned permissions.

    Price Books API

    The Price Books API is now generally available for Commerce Hub Professional and Enterprise accounts. Until now, customers building CPQ integrations had no way to manage price books through an API. This had to be done manually in-app.

    This API supports full CRUD on price books, lifecycle operations (activate, deactivate, validate), and per-item CRUD plus batch add, update, and archive on price book items. Price book and price book item records are also accessible as read-only objects via the CRM API, including list, batch read, and search.

    Authenticate with cpq.price_books.read and/or cpq.price_books.write and/or crm.objects.products.read scopes.

    Payment Links API

    You can now programmatically create, retrieve, and manage HubSpot Payment Links via an API, including support for dynamic multi-item carts and custom configurations.

    To create a payment link, send a POST request to the Payment Links endpoint with required parameters, including line items, quantities, discount codes, and customer information.

    Additionally, the API supports dynamic configuration for defining items, add-ons, buyer email, billing/shipping address, and custom fields in the request. You can also deactivate or manage existing payment links as needed.

    Payments Account Read API

    The Payments Account Read API is now generally available. It gives partners and integrators a read-only way to check the payments readiness of any HubSpot account programmatically — previously there was no way to verify this without manual intervention, which made it hard to build payments-aware workflows.

    Send a GET request to /commerce/payment-accounts/2026-09/payment-accounts with the PAYMENTS_READ scope to retrieve an account's enrollment status, payments eligibility, and transaction capabilities. Use it to gate payments-related features in your app on whether a portal is actually set up to collect and pay out.

    Available to any account with HubSpot Payments enabled.

    Pipeline Rules API

    The Pipeline Rules API is now generally available, closing a long-standing parity gap in HubSpot's pipeline functionality. Until now, pipeline rules could only be configured in the UI.

    The API lets developers manage CRM pipeline rules programmatically: which stages objects can be created in, which stages allow backward movement, whether stages can be skipped, and which stages require approval. This gives partners and advanced customers a way to enforce consistent pipeline governance across portals from their own external tooling.

    Available for Professional and Enterprise tiers across all hubs.

    Object Tags API

    The Object Tags API is now generally available. Object tags are colored labels automatically applied to records that match criteria you define, for example a "Large deal" tag on any deal over $10,000. Until now they could only be configured in the UI.

    The API supports full CRUD on object tag definitions. Send a POST to /crm/object-tags/2026-09/{objectTypeId} with a name, color, filter criteria, and the pipeline IDs the tag applies to (leave empty to apply across all of the object's pipelines); read, update (PATCH / PUT), and delete are all supported. Tags apply to objects that use pipelines, such as deals and tickets. This closes a known parity gap in HubSpot's pipeline functionality.

    Available for Sales Hub and Service Hub Starter and up, and Smart CRM Professional and up.

    Task Series API

    You can now create and manage repeating tasks through the API. Previously, making a task repeat as a series required the UI.

    The API adds support for creating tasks that repeat as a series and editing the future occurrences in that series, bringing an important piece of task functionality to the platform for the first time.

    Available for Sales Hub and Service Hub Starter, Professional, and Enterprise.

    Forecasts API

    The Forecasts API is now generally available. It gives you read-only programmatic access to the forecast data your team submits in HubSpot's forecast tool, so you can pull it into BI tools, data warehouses, and reporting workflows.

    Three read endpoints are available on the 2026-09 version:

    • Retrieve forecast submissions: GET /crm/objects/2026-09/forecasts (filter by properties like amount, milestone, pipeline, team, and year)
    • Retrieve submission history as events: GET /forecast-submissions/2026-09/events (chronological submission changes, with amount deltas)
    • Retrieve forecast types: GET /forecasting-settings/2026-09/forecast-types (including custom types and deal-split configurations)

    Authenticate with the crm.objects.forecasts.read scope. Available for Sales Hub and Service Hub Professional and Enterprise.

    Notetaker Conversation Recap API

    The Notetaker Conversation Recap API is now generally available. It gives you read-only access to the AI-generated summaries and action items that HubSpot's Notetaker produces after a recorded call or meeting, in a structured, queryable format you can pull into BI tools, data warehouses, and automation workflows.

    Make a GET request to /notetaker/2026-09/conversation/recap/{objectTypeId}/{objectId} (use 0-48 for calls or 0-47 for meeting events). The response returns a summary object and an actionItems object, each with a status field (SUCCEEDED, NOT_FOUND, IN_PROGRESS, or FAILED) — check the status before reading values, since recap data is only available once Notetaker finishes processing the activity. Action items include a title and assignee.

    Authenticate with the crm.objects.contacts.read scope. Available for Sales Hub and Service Hub Professional and Enterprise.

    Teams API

    The Teams API is now generally available. Until now, the API only supported listing teams. Creating, updating, and deleting them required the UI. With the new API you can create, rename, delete, and organize teams, plus manage membership.

    User API - Seat Management

    Seat management is now available in the User API (/settings/users). A new GET /seats endpoint lets you list available seat types on the account. The user provision (POST), update (PUT), and response (GET) models now include a seatNames field, so you can assign, update, and read seat assignments in the same calls you're already making to manage users. Viewing available seats requires the seats scope; assigning or removing seats requires the settings.billing.write scope.

    Sequences API Expanded

    The Sequences API has been expanded to allow users to perform writable CRUD operations, including:

    • Creating sequences
    • Retrieving specific sequences
    • Updating sequences
    • Deleting sequences

    Previously, you could only use the API to enroll contacts into a sequence. This API requires user-level authorization for full functionality.

    Email Template API

    Email Templates are now accessible via API, letting you create and manage templates programmatically instead of through the UI.

    The API covers: list templates, list folders, get a template, create a template, update a template.

    Auth note: This API requires user-level authorization. Portal-level apps will see inconsistent results. Configure your app for user-level access before integrating. See the user-level access guide.

    Datasource Ingestion API for Data Studio

    You can now programmatically manage data in HubSpot Data Studio. Currently, two data source types are supported:

    • FILE — upload a CSV, XLS, XLSX, or TSV file to create a data source
    • JSON — define a schema and push structured data directly via API, with an incremental data-push endpoint for ongoing updates

    Unlike the CRM Imports API, which has strict data requirements, the Datasource Ingestion API is schema-agnostic. Data doesn't need to map to any HubSpot object type. You define the schema, ingest data via file upload or JSON, and it lands in Data Studio immediately available for datasets, reports, and activation across segments, workflows, and lists.

    The data-push endpoint enables lightweight, ongoing ingestion for recurring data updates such as partner enrichment feeds, operational snapshots, or agent-generated outputs, without managing file uploads each time.

    File Manager API

    Privately distributed apps can now download sensitive file attachments directly from the FileManager API using a file ID. Send a GET request to /v3/files/{fileId}/download. For sensitive files, your private app must have the FILE_MANAGER_SENSITIVE_ACCESS scope. Non-sensitive files don't require it. If authorized and the file exists, the endpoint streams the file bytes as a direct download.

    Updated APIs in 2026.09

    The 2026-09 release updated 44 existing APIs. Nearly all are version-parity updates — the same endpoints, now available on the stable 2026-09 version — so if you pin to a version, update your path to 2026-09. The updates that added real capability (Sequences, Files, User Provisioning/Seat Management) are covered as full entries above; the complete list of updated APIs is below.

    New Beta APIs in 2026.09

    The 2026-09 release includes APIs in public beta — usable now.

    • Lead Scoring Public API
    • Contracts API
    • AEO Public API
    • Marketing Forms API
    • Automation Workflows API
    • Scheduler API
    • Subscriptions Lifecycle API
    • Activity Auto Associations via Public API

    Build with AI Updates

    Build with AI content on Dev Docs

    A new Build with AI section is now live in the HubSpot developer documentation. It's a dedicated resource for those who want to use AI tools to build on HubSpot, covering how to get set up, what tools are available (AI connectors, MCP server, Agent CLI, and Breeze Assistant etc), best practices, and example prompts to get you moving quickly.

    The section is designed to meet you where you are. If you're a less technical builder excited about AI but not sure where to start, these docs provide a clear path in. If you're a more experienced developer, the best practices and tool breakdown give you a solid reference for how HubSpot's AI building surface fits together.

    Find it under the Build with AI tab on developers.hubspot.com.

    Developer Docs AI Assistant - Skills Upgrade

    The AI assistant on our developer docs has never been more helpful. We've upgraded it with numerous skills that make it better for helping you find information, troubleshoot, and make decisions around which tools to use for what. The assistant helps walk you through troubleshooting rate limits, navigate authentication methods and scopes, API versions, HubSpot's AI related development tools. The assistant is even better at assisting with debugging and helping you structure feedback back to HubSpot. While using the Developer MCP server is still the best way to get help with your code because your coding agent knows your codebase, the assistant is there to help out before you're even at that point.

    HubSpot MCP Server & Claude Connector Updates

    The HubSpot MCP server and the Claude connector expanded significantly this release — both in what data they can reach and in what they can do with it. AI tools and agents can now work across far more of your CRM, and, for the first time, configure the data model itself.

    Expanded data access
    Custom objects, activable objects, and the Leads object are now supported for both read and write. Custom objects (any 2-* type) are readable and writable, so analyses are no longer limited to HubSpot's default object model — the AI can work with the domain-specific objects and custom fields your team actually built. The activable objects are now covered too: Leads, Appointments, Projects, Listings, Services, Courses, and Orders/Carts. That enables workflows like creating a custom object record from a meeting transcript, adding a lead from a conversation, spinning up a project from a call, or converting an abandoned cart to an order — all in one conversation, with the write landing in HubSpot.

    Alongside those objects, the MCP server added new capability areas:

    • Leads — read access, including partner client access
    • Landing pages & content analytics — create and update landing pages; view conversion, submission, and view data for landing pages, website pages, and blog posts
    • Campaign management & attribution — create campaigns, associate assets, and access revenue and deal attribution
    • Marketing email — create drafts, configure send details, schedule, publish, and access post-send analytics
    • Quotes & revenue objects (public beta) — create and manage quotes; read contracts, subscriptions, invoices, payments, and payment links
    • Conversations — read-only access across Help Desk and Conversations inboxes, including live chat, team email, WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook Messenger, and custom channels
    • Conditional property rules — the server now respects conditional field logic when creating or updating records
    • Verified domain restrictions — Claude Enterprise admins can restrict connector access to company-provisioned accounts

    Configuration
    The MCP server now exposes HubSpot's configuration layer, not just its data. AI agents and developer tools can create and manage custom properties and set up pipelines and stages without leaving the AI workflow — so analysis and configuration can happen in the same conversation. Because this operates on your data model, it runs inside HubSpot's existing controls: every write is attributed in the Audit Log, and actions respect the acting user's permissions.

    To pick up the new objects and scopes, reauthenticate your HubSpot connection. Landing page and content analytics tools surface automatically with no action needed.

    Expose Your App's Tools in HubSpot Agents with an MCP Server Component

    You can now add an mcp-server component to an existing app to expose your own remote MCP server tools inside HubSpot Agents. Once your app is installed, customers get access to your tools through Agent Builder automatically — no separate setup on their end.

    To get started, add an mcp-server component using the HubSpot CLI and set platformVersion to 2026.09 in your project config. Both private apps and marketplace-distributed apps are supported; marketplace apps require HubSpot review and approval before broader release.

    Build agents in Breeze Assistant

    Breeze Assistant now guides you through building inside Agent Builder, available in public beta.

    Until now, building a custom agent meant starting from a blank canvas: you had to know which tools to configure, how to structure instructions, and where your data lived before anything could run. Breeze Assistant removes that barrier.

    Open Agent Builder from Agent Hub, select Create, and describe what you want your agent to do in plain language: for example, "Qualify every new contact against our ICP criteria before a rep sees them." Breeze Assistant proposes a configuration including goal, tools, and knowledge sources drawn from your portal. It may ask clarifying questions to refine the setup, then opens the configured agent in Agent Builder ready to test or publish. Breeze Assistant remains available in the sidebar throughout: ask it to adjust instructions, swap tools, or generate custom code for automation steps at any point.

    Breeze Assistant is available across all hubs and tiers. Agent Hub and Agent Builder require Professional or Enterprise.

    Revenue Hub Release Roundup

    Hubspot expands revenue intelligence and payments with contract imports, billing migrations, new revenue reporting, Breeze revenue answers, quote approvals, more checkout payment options, self-serve stored payment removal, and new Payments APIs.

    Revenue intelligence: your contracts, your data, your answers

    Two things have been true for most revenue teams using HubSpot: the data lived somewhere else, and the questions were hard to answer. That’s all changing!

    This roundup covers the releases that close both gaps, starting with a set of updates that bring your full revenue picture into HubSpot, make it reportable, and put it in reach of Breeze. The second half covers an expanding set of Payments features, including two brand new APIs that let teams build exactly the payment flows their business requires.

    This story is about HubSpot becoming a genuine system of record for revenue — not just what was sold, but what was booked, how it’s changing, and what it means. Three connected releases make this real.

    Contract Imports (Live Sep 11)

    What is it? You can now use HubSpot’s native import tool to bring existing contracts into HubSpot in bulk — including line items and associations with contacts and deals. Once imported, contracts sit alongside contracts created natively in HubSpot for management, reporting, and renewal workflows.

    Why does it matter? Historically, getting value from Revenue Hub has required starting fresh or recreating contracts one by one. Whether your contracts live in Salesforce, a billing tool, or a spreadsheet, you can now migrate them in bulk and immediately start managing and reporting on your full book of business in HubSpot.

    Available for: Revenue Hub Professional and Enterprise

    Billing Migrations: Public Beta (Public Beta — Sep 3)

    What is it? Merchants can migrate active billing relationships into Revenue Hub Contracts from a legacy billing system or from Commerce Hub subscriptions (HubSpot Payments or Stripe). The migration preserves original effective and line-item start dates, lets you choose a future date for Revenue Hub to take over billing, and keeps imported contracts in draft until they’ve been reviewed and explicitly activated. A demo walkthrough is available here.

    Why does it matter? Switching billing systems mid-relationship is one of the riskiest things a RevOps or finance team has to manage — gaps, duplicate charges, and broken revenue reporting are all real risks. Billing Migrations gives teams a controlled handoff: contracts stay in draft until you’ve validated billing schedules and confirmed the first Revenue Hub billing date, so nothing activates until you say so. Recurring-revenue continuity is preserved, and when historical upgrades, expansions, or contractions are included, those changes can be represented in the MRR waterfall alongside future HubSpot billing schedules — making Revenue Hub Contracts a powerful new authoritative source of truth without disrupting your customers.

    Available for: Revenue Hub Professional or Enterprise. Also available to any HubSpot account enrolled in the Contracts Direct Create/Edit Private Beta

    Revenue Reporting from Contracts (Public Beta Sep 11)

    What is it? A full revenue reporting package built on top of the Contracts object. Includes four pre-built reports in the Analytics Suite, a Custom Report Builder integration using two new revenue event data sources, and API access to pull revenue events into external tools.

    Pre-built reports: MRR Waterfall, Net New MRR, Booked MRR, Booked TCV — available under Revenue > Contracts in the Analytics Suite

    Custom Report Builder: Use Contract Revenue (Booked) and Contract Revenue (Scheduled) events to build tailored reports alongside any other HubSpot data

    API access: Pull revenue events directly to combine with external data sources

    Why does it matter? Revenue is the clearest signal of business health — but it’s only useful when you can accurately see it. This brings your full revenue picture (one-time and recurring) into the same platform as your GTM data, so Marketing, Sales, Service, and Finance can work from the same numbers. Questions like “What is my TCV?” and “How is my MRR changing?” now have answers your whole team can trust.

    Available for: Pre-built reports available to all hubs and tiers through the report library; Custom Report Builder requires Pro or Enterprise

    Revenue Foundations Skill for Breeze Assistant (Public Beta Sep 4)

    What is it? Breeze Assistant can now answer revenue questions — MRR, TCV, ARR trends — by reading data directly from the Contract object. Ask “What is my MRR?”, “What’s driving MRR change?”, or “How much TCV did we book last quarter?” from anywhere in HubSpot.

    Why does it matter? This new skill means Breeze Assistant now understands post-sale recurring revenue from a dedicated source of truth. Until now, Breeze answered revenue questions using deal data, which is often stale, incomplete or inaccurate. Combined with the reporting package above, you get both structured dashboards and a conversational way to interrogate your revenue data.

    Available for: Public beta

    Quote Approvals via Breeze (Live Sep 1)

    What is it? CPQ quote approval workflows can now be triggered and actioned through Breeze. Approvers can review and approve or reject quotes without leaving their Breeze interface.

    Why does it matter? Approval bottlenecks are one of the top deal-velocity complaints from CPQ customers. Routing approvals through Breeze reduces context-switching for managers and speeds the quote-to-signature cycle.

    Available for: Commerce Hub Professional and Enterprise

    More flexibility for buyers, more control for merchants

    More Payment Method Options at Checkout (Live Sep 9)

    What is it? Klarna and Affirm are now available for US and Canadian merchants to offer as payment methods on payment links and invoices. Buyers can choose installment-based payment at checkout without requiring any additional merchant configuration.

    Why does it matter? Adding buy now, pay later options removes a friction point for buyers who want to spread payments — particularly relevant for mid-market deals where upfront payment is a barrier to close.

    Available for: HubSpot Payments merchants in the US and Canada

    Self-Serve Remove Stored Payment Methods (Live — Aug 27)

    What is it? Buyers can now remove stored payment methods from their customer portal without contacting the merchant.

    Why does it matter? Removes a support burden from merchants and addresses a common compliance expectation, especially for portals serving UK customers.

    Available for: All portals with HubSpot Payments or Stripe payment processing enabled

    Lock Contact Email on Form + Payment Link Redirects (Live Sep 4)

    What is it? When a contact submits a HubSpot form and is redirected to a payment link, their email address is pre-filled and locked on the checkout page, ensuring payment is attributed to the correct CRM contact.

    Why does it matter? Closes a common attribution gap in form-to-payment flows, which matters for accurate revenue reporting and customer lifecycle tracking.

    Available for: Portals using HubSpot Forms + Payment Links

    New Revenue Payments APIs (Public Beta Sep 10)

    What is it? Two new public API releases expand programmatic access to Payments: one for creating payment records and retrying failed payments, and one for reading and writing Checkout settings (default payment methods, fee configuration, address collection policies).

    Why does it matter? Both actions previously required manual work inside the app. These APIs enable automation, multi-portal management at scale, and deeper integration for partners and agencies building on HubSpot Payments.

    Available for: All hubs and tiers (public beta)

    Your HubSpot Context, Ready to Work in ChatGPT: HubSpot Joins OpenAI’s New Small Business Collection

    Hubspot adds its connector for ChatGPT to OpenAI’s new small business collection, making HubSpot context easier for teams to use inside ChatGPT. The release highlights faster meeting prep, follow-up drafting, pipeline reviews, and campaign analysis with existing HubSpot permissions preserved.

    Running a small business means every minute counts. But somewhere between HubSpot and ChatGPT, a surprising amount of time disappears: copying contact history, pasting deal context, rebuilding the same background from scratch before every AI conversation. The copy-paste tax wastes valuable time for a small team with a full workload.

    The HubSpot connector for ChatGPT, which OpenAI refers to as a plugin, allows you to access HubSpot context within your ChatGPT conversation, so ChatGPT can see and act on your context, right from the conversation. The connector is now available in OpenAI’s new small business collection, making it more discoverable for small business teams to find and put to work.

    What it looks like in practice

    You have a call in 20 minutes. Instead of digging through HubSpot for deal history and contact notes, ask ChatGPT to pull everything including account context, open items, and risks, so you walk in prepared without switching tools.

    @HubSpot Prepare me for my next meeting with [company]. Use the associated contacts, deal, recent emails, calls, meetings, notes, and open tickets to create a one-page brief with goals, risks, open commitments, a five-point agenda, and three questions. Then propose a prep note and one follow-up task for my review before adding them to HubSpot.

    The call ends. Rather than drafting a follow-up from a blank page, ask ChatGPT to turn those notes into next steps already grounded in the deal context it has access to.

    @HubSpot Use the most recent meeting or call with [company] and any notes I provide to summarize decisions, objections, and commitments. Propose the appropriate deal or ticket updates, a concise HubSpot note, and follow-up tasks with owners and due dates. Show every proposed change first, then apply only the items I approve.

    Reviewing the pipeline doesn’t have to mean exporting data and writing analysis from scratch. Ask ChatGPT to surface what needs attention today and turn it into a plan.

    @HubSpot Review my open deals and recent contact engagement. Build a five-item action list for today, ranked by urgency, deal value, close date, and inactivity. For each item, explain why it matters and recommend the next outreach. After I approve the list, create the corresponding follow-up tasks in HubSpot with sensible due dates.

    A campaign just wrapped. Instead of manually pulling performance data, ask ChatGPT to analyze results, identify what drove conversions, and suggest what to do next.

    @HubSpot Analyze [campaign name] for [date range], including its published landing pages, website pages, and blog posts. Identify the three biggest performance opportunities, recommend specific changes, and draft revised copy where useful. Then turn the approved recommendations into a prioritized set of HubSpot follow-up tasks.

    Built for the whole team, not just AI pros

    Any team member in sales, marketing, customer success, or revops can use the connector to get grounded, relevant outputs from day one. AI should be easy to use and easy to trust across your whole team, not just your most AI-savvy teammates.

    A note on permissions: The HubSpot connector for ChatGPT mirrors your existing HubSpot permissions; what you can access inside HubSpot is exactly (and only) what you can access through ChatGPT. For team-wide rollouts, a super admin must install and configure the connector first.

    Haven’t installed it yet? Connect HubSpot to ChatGPT and claim $50 in ChatGPT credits.

    New users who install and run the HubSpot connector for the first time are eligible for $50 in ChatGPT credits. Available to eligible ChatGPT Business users who haven’t previously installed and used the connector. Terms apply.

    The August 2026 Industry Edit: Essential HubSpot Updates

    Hubspot adds August 2026 product updates that bring AI and automation deeper into support, sales, billing, content, and governance, including new pricing tools, multi-IDP SSO, smarter invoices, workflow-preserving merges, and broader integrations across channels and industries.

    August’s updates push AI deeper into the places where work actually happens: support queues, deal pipelines, billing flows, and the content strategy layer, giving practitioners more automation without giving up control.

    Below is a breakdown of 2–3 updates per industry and why they matter for your day-to-day.

    The August 2026 Product Updates roundup has the full picture, or browse the full product deck here.

    Missed last month’s highlights? Check out the July 2026 Industry Edit here.

    Pro Tip: If you want to see exactly what’s live in your specific portal, just click your profile picture → Product Updates. It’s the easiest way to see what’s in Beta or coming down the pipeline for your specific tier. Note: some features are in Public Beta, so you’ll need to opt in from that screen to activate them. You can check out this Knowledge Base article if you need a walkthrough.

    B2B SaaS and Software

    • Company Surge Signals from Bombora: Bombora’s third-party intent data is now natively in HubSpot, showing which accounts are spiking in research activity before they ever visit your site. For SaaS teams running ABM, you can now trigger outreach sequences, adjust lead scores, and build segments off surge signals without a separate Bombora integration or data export.
    • Standardize Pricing with Price Books: RevOps teams now have a centralized place to define product pricing that sellers apply directly in the deal line item editor. If your sales team is managing multiple SKUs, tiers, or customer segments, this replaces the spreadsheet workarounds and keeps quote pricing consistent across every rep.
    • SSO with Multiple Identity Providers: HubSpot now supports multiple identity provider configurations in a single account, removing the one-IDP limit. For SaaS companies with employees authenticating through different systems (acquired teams, contractors, regional IT setups), this eliminates the manual workarounds that admins have been managing for years.

    Healthcare

    • Set Call Recording by Region: Admins can now configure recording rules based on caller region for inbound calls or call destination for outbound, so your portal automatically complies with recording consent laws without requiring reps to manage it call by call. For healthcare teams operating across multiple states or countries, this removes a meaningful compliance gap.
    • AI-assisted knowledge base category translation: Knowledge base categories and subcategories can now be translated using AI suggestions, and HubSpot blocks publishing when required translations are missing. Healthcare organizations serving multilingual patient or provider populations can close translation gaps in their self-service content without a manual localization workflow.

    Financial Services

    • AI-prioritized invoices and collection emails: Breeze Assistant now ranks open invoices by revenue impact and drafts personalized collection emails directly from the invoice index page. For financial services firms managing advisory fees or retainers, this surfaces high-value outstanding balances first and gets a draft ready to send without leaving the page.
    • App Install Governance: Super Admins can now centrally control which apps, including AI connectors for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, are allowed in the account, who can install them, and what data permissions each app can access. For firms with strict data governance requirements, this closes a meaningful gap in controlling what third-party tools can touch your CRM data.

    Manufacturing

    • Merges keep workflows running: When you merge duplicate records, the primary record now stays enrolled in its active workflows with its position and pending actions preserved. For manufacturing teams managing distributor or dealer records that frequently get duplicated through imports, this prevents nurture and onboarding sequences from silently breaking mid-run.
    • Sync recurring meetings to HubSpot: Recurring calendar meetings now automatically sync to HubSpot so every touchpoint in an ongoing series is logged without manual action. For account managers running weekly check-ins with distributors or key accounts, this means complete meeting history on every contact and deal record without anyone having to log a thing.

    Professional Services and Consulting

    • Associated contracts with project records: Contract records can now be linked directly to project records in HubSpot, keeping agreement and delivery context in one place for post-sale teams. If your firm uses HubSpot to manage both contracts and project delivery, your team can see the scope of work and the associated contract without cross-referencing separate records.
    • Clearer lead score history: Score history now shows the exact engagement activity or fit change that triggered each lead score update, with a hyperlinked event and timestamp. For consulting firms with longer sales cycles, this makes it much easier to audit why a prospect moved up or down in priority and defend that logic in pipeline reviews.

    Agencies and Marketing Services

    • Email frequency caps by brand: Marketers can now set individual email frequency limits per brand in a multi-brand portal, so one client’s sending cadence cannot inadvertently suppress another’s audience. For agencies managing multiple brands in a single portal, this is the control that prevents one aggressive send schedule from burning contacts who belong to a completely different client.
    • AEO recommendations show Estimated Citation Lift: Each AEO recommendation now displays a projected citation lift estimate so you can rank content changes by expected impact. For agencies managing AEO strategy across client sites, this lets you prioritize which recommendations to action first and have a concrete number to put in the client report.
    • Send Claude Designs to HubSpot: Claude Design now connects directly to HubSpot, letting you build landing pages in Claude and push them straight to HubSpot as a draft. For agencies doing high-volume landing page work, this cuts the copy-paste step between design and CRM and keeps the iteration loop inside tools you are already using.

    Education and Events

    • AI-recommended video clips for social: The AI Clips panel in Social now surfaces pre-generated clip recommendations from your uploaded videos so you can find and insert a post-ready moment without scrubbing through footage manually. For education and event teams repurposing session recordings into social content, this removes the most time-consuming part of the process.
    • Breeze Assistant builds downloadable PowerPoint decks: Ask Breeze Assistant to create a slide deck and it generates a fully formatted, downloadable .pptx file you can open directly in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote. For teams that regularly produce recap decks, sponsor reports, or post-event presentations, this replaces the manual CRM data copy-paste step.

    Consumer Brands and Ecommerce

    • Customer agent sends payment links: Customer agent can now detect purchase intent in a conversation and send the right payment link in the same channel, whether that is chat, email, or WhatsApp. For ecommerce brands, this closes the gap between a customer expressing interest and completing checkout without needing a human rep to step in.
    • Customer agent looks up and sends invoices: Customer agent can now find, explain, and send invoices directly inside a conversation, resolving billing questions in-channel. For consumer brands with high volumes of order and billing inquiries, this deflects a significant category of repetitive support tickets without any per-invoice setup.
    • Snapchat Ads Integration: Snapchat leads now flow into HubSpot in real time, creating or updating contacts within seconds of form submission and ready for immediate enrollment. For consumer brands running paid acquisition on Snapchat, you can now close the follow-up delay and send conversion milestones like MQL or Won back to Snapchat to optimize campaigns on actual pipeline results.

    For Any Industry: How to actually stay on top of this

    You don’t need to action every update at once. Two quick habits will keep you ahead:

    1. Ask Breeze Assistant: Drop into Breeze Assistant and ask: “What’s new in Help Desk this month?” or “What workflow features launched this month?” — it’ll summarize what’s relevant to you.
    2. The “New To You” tab: Under Profile → Product Updates, the ‘New to you’ filter shows what’s changed in your portal since you last logged in. It’s the fastest way to see what’s ready to activate.

    The new streamlined index is rolled out to all customers

    Hubspot releases a major Smart CRM index upgrade for all portals, rebuilding the Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets, Tasks, and Custom Objects index to be faster, easier to customize, and richer with flexible views, report view, AI insights, and simpler property management.

    HubSpot’s Smart CRM index page got a major upgrade — and it’s live now for all portals.

    The index, where you manage Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets, Tasks, and Custom Objects, has been rebuilt. It’s streamlined, easier to use, and displays insights in the same place where you’re already working.

    Why does it matter?

    The changes will make your team more productive, once they know what they are. Keep reading to learn how to orient your team quickly and make your data more actionable.

    What changed?

    You told us the index was overwhelming and not flexible enough. So we rebuilt it from the ground up to be faster and easier to customize, and keep you in one place instead of jumping around the product or keeping multiple tabs open.

    Some key differences:

    • View settings are easier to find. Everything you need to adjust the look and feel of your index is right there on the page. No need to navigate to Settings.
    • Flexible views help you see your data differently. See your Contacts in board view, your Tasks in Gantt view, and your pipeline in report view, without leaving the index.
    • Filters and metrics are collapsible. Hide what you don’t need. Display it when you do. Having less to look at helps you focus on your work, not the UI.

    Introducing the AI Search Sensor Embeddable Widget: Bring AEO Insights to Your Website

    Hubspot adds the AI Search Sensor Embeddable Widget, letting partners embed live AEO charts on their own websites with iframe support, mobile-friendly rendering, keyboard navigation, multilingual options, and carousel browsing for multiple charts.

    What You Can Embed

    We’re excited to share a new way to bring HubSpot’s AI Search Sensor data to your audience — directly on your own website!

    The AI Search Sensor Embeddable Widget is now available for HubSpot partners. It lets you embed live AEO charts from the Sensor into any webpage via a simple iframe, so your visitors can explore the same data that marketers and strategists around the world are already using to navigate the shift to AI-powered search.

    Choose from four chart types. Display one or let visitors browse through all of them:

    • AI-Referred Traffic Trends – Track how AI-driven referrals are growing across the web
    • AI Visibility Benchmarks by Industry – See how different industries are showing up in AI answers
    • Answer Engine Volatility Tracker – Monitor how much AI answer results are changing over time
    • Citation Share – Understand which brands and domains are getting cited by answer engines

    If you embed multiple charts, visitors can navigate between them using carousel arrows with no page reload required.

    Built for a Global Audience

    The widget renders fully on both desktop and mobile, supports keyboard navigation, and is available in English, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Spanish. Wherever your audience is, the data speaks their language.

    Each widget includes a “Powered by HubSpot” link that takes visitors to the full AI Search Sensor experience.

    How to Get Started

    Getting set up is straightforward. Grab the iframe snippet from your partner page, embed it on a domain you own, and follow the instructions for minimum supported resolutions and CSP configuration. Full setup guidance is available in our partner enablement documentation.

    We Want Your Feedback!
