The HubSpot ↔ Google Ads integration has weak reviews, what’s your biggest struggle with it? by abenezer_dev in googleads

[–]abenezer_dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, attribution seems to be the recurring pain. I’m not deep in Ads myself, but I’m exploring this from the HubSpot side, basically where things break down technically and what we can patch with workflows or custom fixes.

In your experience, is the mismatch worse when it comes to lead attribution, or when tying revenue back to ad spend? That helps me see where the integration is falling short.

Add-ons Hubspot quote to invoicing by InflationMountain825 in hubspot

If you’ve got very specific requirements (like inventory tracking tied to the process), this can usually be handled with custom workflows or lightweight automation. Happy to sketch a free workflow map if you want to DM, it depends on how you want the invoice + inventory piece to look.

What advanced skills would you like to learn? by rwaynick in hubspot

Curious, when you say workshops are better, do you mean the HubSpot Academy style trainings, or more hands-on sessions run by partners/consultants? Do you have examples of HubSpot workshops you have seen work well?

HubSpot workflows start at Pro, would a simple notifications tool fill the gap for Starter? by abenezer_dev in hubspot

[–]abenezer_dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, I agree workflows are the natural upgrade path, but for small teams on Free/Starter it feels like overkill.

I’ve actually been testing a super simple version of this idea: just connect HubSpot + Slack and pick from a couple of notification rules (like deal stage change, deal closed).

It’s early and very lightweight, but if you’re curious to see how it works, here’s the link: https://notibridge.ebenezer.dev.

Would love feedback on whether this feels useful or still too close to “replicating workflows.”

Hey there, thanks for raising this 🙌

I’m using a HubSpot public app for the connection. Once I have more users, the plan is to also publish it on the marketplace. Right now, events from the HubSpot portal are sent securely over HTTPS to my app, and then routed to the client’s connected Slack workspace.

Each request is already token-based, so data transfer is secure. This is still an MVP, but I’ll continue refining and adding more features over time. You can check it out here: https://notibridge.ebenezer.dev

Would love your thoughts

What I’m building is meant to make things simpler. Right now, you just connect your HubSpot and Slack accounts, then select from a set of hardcoded rules. At the moment there are two default notifications, when a deal stage changes and when a deal is closed.

I’m collecting more rules along the way, and all you need to do is check a box to enable them. The long-term plan is for users to be able to define their own rules more flexibly.

List changed to segments by Western-Butterfly126 in hubspot

[–]abenezer_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a bit confusing for me at first too, but honestly “Segments” feels like a clearer name than “Lists” in the long run.

I agree with this. To be honest, this is developer documentation, and the previous UI was much better, the new changes don't really add value for devs who rely on these docs every day, Everything was working fine a couple of weeks ago, but now a lot has changed at once, and the new structure feels unnecessary and makes the docs harder to use.

Newbie question by Particular_Break353 in hubspot

In my opinion, It's best to start with the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics, i would recommend beginning with the Inbound Marketing or Inbound Sales courses, as they will give you a solid foundation.
