HubSpot Data Hub Workflows and Custom Code Actions

Repetitive portal tasks run on their own, and every workflow has a name, a purpose and an owner.

  • phaseImplementation
  • engagementProject
  • productData Hub

The problem this solves

People assign records, fix fields and change statuses by hand, even though the steps are the same every time. The workflow list has grown into dozens of versions labeled “copy” that overlap, so fixing one breaks two others.

How I work

The first step is a review of your existing workflows: which ones work, which duplicate each other and which haven’t done anything in a long time. I clean up and merge first and add new ones after, because automation added to a mess only makes it bigger.

Anything HubSpot handles out of the box gets a standard workflow. I write custom code actions in JavaScript or Python where standard actions fall short, for example to calculate across associated records or to pull data from another system mid-workflow. Every workflow gets a name that follows one convention, a place in its process folder and a description of its purpose. Code actions have error handling and send a notification when something fails.

What you get

  • A workflow review listing duplicates, conflicts and dead automations
  • Cleaned-up and merged workflows
  • Custom code actions for logic standard actions can’t handle
  • A notification when a code action fails
  • A naming convention and folders by process
  • A workflow list with each one’s purpose and owner

What people ask before a quote

When do you need a custom code action?

When a workflow has to calculate something across associated records, pull data from another system or transform a property value. Everything else I build with standard actions, because they’re easier to change later without a developer.

Who will be able to change these workflows?

Anyone who knows HubSpot can change the standard workflows, because they have clear names and descriptions. The code for the actions stays with you, documented with what it does and where it gets its data.

How long does a workflow cleanup take?

It depends on how many workflows are in the portal and how many of them overlap. I give you a timeline after the workflow review.
