FEATURED HUBSPOT UPDATES
"Close Date" Automation for Deals & Tickets
When a user moves a deal or ticket record to a closed pipeline stage, the record's "close date" will automatically set to today's date. This helps save users time from having to manually set the date. Flexibility is important, so admins can turn off this feature where it might not make sense (i.e. if your pipeline has many closed stages, you might not want the "close date" automatically updated).
If you wish to disable this feature for a pipeline, navigate to "Pipeline Settings" for either the deal or ticket object, select the relevant pipeline, and toggle off the automation feature in the "Templated Automations" tab. If this feature is serving you across all your pipelines, no action is required.

Improved Import Validation Checks
HubSpot will now scan the first 1,000 rows of your import files for potential errors. This will help ensure that you're able to resolve errors in your data before writing it to the CRM. It also means that features like the new invalid enum remapping tool are even more powerful, as HubSpot checks for misspelled enumeration options across more rows of your file.
There's also a small visual update with this expansion of preview validation. Instead of surfacing multiple notifications that overlayed the screen and had to be exited out of, there is now a dedicated space below the mapping guide that shows you when HubSpot is scanning your file for errors, how many errors were found, and how many rows were scanned.
New Lead Object Owner Property & Improved Prospecting Workspace
Two exciting, highly requested leads features are now live!- Improvements to lead record ownership that allow users to use lead owner as a discrete property value separate from the associated contact and company owner
- Enhanced lead visibility for admins and super admins, as well as bulk action capabilities
With this release, users have the ability to use lead owner as a discrete property by disabling 'lead owner inherit' in lead settings, ensuring that the process you build in Sales Hub accurately reflects how your business operates.
In addition to improvements to lead ownership, new lead visibility capabilities will ensure that sales managers and leaders are able to easily see every lead in Sales Hub, and perform bulk actions like assignments and deletions.
AI Forcasting
HubSpot's new AI-powered forecast uses in-month sales data to project future sales, getting your team closer to a spot-on forecast. Find the AI forecast projection range in the new Analyze tab of the Forecast tool.
HubSpot's AI-based forecasting model uses the first 7 days of closed won deal data for a portal in a given month to provide sales projections for the end of the current month. These projections are then recalculated every seven days to give teams the most up-to-date projections. Since the AI forecast needs at least 7 days of sales data, there won't be any information to display for the first 7 days of every month. Learn more on the Knowledge Base.
Please Note: Customers must have at least two months of deal data and meet an average AI accuracy threshold of 70% over two months to access the tool.
