Here's What's New in HubSpot.

Views in HubSpot CRM are your best way to get a quick glance at a set of contacts, companies, or deals. They help you organize and prioritize your process.

Today, views are getting an overhaul, with a goal of making them easier to manage and navigate, cleaner to create, and more flexible to share. Here’s the quick rundown:

1. Views in HubSpot CRM are now called saved filters.
2. Saved filters are now accessed via a full-screen management area, rather than a small sidebar dropdown.
3. You can now favorite up to five saved filters, which will remain pinned to the left-hand sidebar.
4. Creating a saved filter is now much more spacious. In addition, the five properties you use the most are now surfaced front-and-center when creating a saved filter.
5. Saved filters can now be shared with a single team. Previously, they could only be private or shared with all.
6. And finally, for the first time, saved filters are available in HubSpot Marketing, in addition to HubSpot CRM.

The Landing Pages and Website dashboards have been refreshed to match the new style of HubSpot products. This ensures that no matter whether you are creating content in a landing page, or monitoring the performance you have a consistent experience throughout all of the tools you use within HubSpot.

Each month, we put together a short video highlighting the month's most exciting updates in your HubSpot portal. Here's the video from August.

When it comes to reporting features in HubSpot, we’re on a constant mission to help our customers make better business decisions using data. Sometimes, that means creating new tools — in the past few months, you’ve seen a brand new web analytics dashboard, dozens of new pre-baked reports, improved filtering, and more. Other times, it means making the difficult choice to remove features that provide less value to our customers than we’d hoped.

With that in mind, on August 23rd, these four metrics will be removed from the Competitors report:

• Facebook fans

• Has FB page

• Twitter followers

• Has Twitter

What is it:

Reporting is the compass that keeps your inbound efforts headed in the right direction. The more deeply you can understand what’s worked in the past, the better you can optimize your future strategy for both your business's growth and your buyers' experience.

In the last few months, you got access to four new social media reports and five new contacts reports, to help you measure even more of your inbound results.

Today, we’re taking that a step further. Moving forward, you’ll have access to an entire library of dozens of out-of-the-box reports that can be added to any of your HubSpot dashboards with one click. No extra fees, no extra clicks, and a whole lot fewer Vlookups to run in Excel.

We’ve rebuilt the tools you use to manage users inside HubSpot from the ground up. You’ll find a number of awesome improvements (explained below), and a clean new design.

Just in the nick of time, here are this month's biggest HubSpot product updates in a neat and tidy six-minute video. 

Your reporting needs aren't one-size-fits-all, and your dashboards shouldn't be either.

With that in mind, today, your HubSpot dashboards just got a whole lot more flexible with two specific updates:

1. You no longer need to set dashboard-level filters. With this update, you can now include individual reports with different date ranges, owner or pipeline filters, all in the same dashboard.

2. If you use the reporting add-on, you can now filter your custom dashboards by owner and pipeline. Previously, those filters were only available on the default marketing and sales dashboards.

If you are starting a new domain, or connecting a new domain to HubSpot, you probably know that Domain Name Servers (DNS) can be a hassle to manage. Instead of focusing your time on generating leads -- you spend a lot of time on technical processes that can have a direct impact on your website loading.

Marketing starts with individual: no matter the nature of your company, you’re trying to convert real people into loyal customers and evangelists of your brand. That’s why your HubSpot Marketing tool is centered around an robust, integrated contact platform.

But if you’re B2B, your organization lives and breathes in the world of the companies those individuals work for. The data you collect about the companies you interact with — size, industry, location, and more — is just as important to your marketing efforts as any trait of the individual contacts.

With that in mind, did you know that your HubSpot Marketing portal comes fully equipped with a company database?

With today’s change, that companies database now lives under “Contacts” in the HubSpot Marketing navigation.

With that in mind, over the last few months, we've completely rebuilt the back-end HubSpot analytics engine with the goal of providing you with even more robust and precise metrics.

Marketers can now add Emojis to all social posts from HubSpot.

How people use social media has changed. In the last 5 years social has become more mobile, more, visual, more ad powered, and more scientific. On top of this, Facebook is rapidly innovating and changing the definition of social media. To take advantage of these trends and stand out in Social you need the best tools possible. That's why we're rethinking and refreshing HubSpot Social.

Landing pages are the pipeline of your inbound marketing success. As a result we seek out every metric we can on success, and how to optimize our pages. That's why -- in October 2015 -- we introduced an easy way to compare performance of your landing pages within HubSpot.

When you're creating multiple pages across your website that look similar, it can be a hassle to put together each one individually. From choosing the template, to adding all the content, it's repetitive and time-consuming. But now there's a better way.

When it comes to measuring your marketing and sales success, it’s not just about running reports; it’s about running the right reports, to tell the right story to the right audience. But, even for the most experienced marketers, data can be overwhelming. Whether running pivot tables in Excel, SQL queries in your BI tool, or even marketing and sales reports in HubSpot, it can be hard to know where to start.

With today’s update, you have five new contacts reports, built around best practices and common use cases, that summarize your lead generation success over time.

Your company’s website is the central hub for your prospects’ and customers’ interactions with your online brand.
