HubSpot October 2024 Updates: Concentrate’s Highlights

After releasing a huge amount of features in September at Inbound Conference, HubSpot would be forgiven for taking a hot minute to breathe. But HubSpot’s relentless commitment to innovation has benefited us with another month of awesome new features and updates to take note of. The full HubSpot October release notes can be found here, but once again, our team of passionate HubSpot gurus have had a peruse and highlighted their top picks for you.

Marketing Hub - Progress Bar in the new Forms tool

Completing lengthy forms can cause friction for users and see higher form incompletion rates. This new feature gives users a visual cue to let them know how far through the form they are and is proven to be a motivator to higher completion rates.

This is also a useful tool to incorporate when building out surveys in HubSpot using forms.

*Available to all Marketing Hub Starter+ customers

Service Hub - Skill-based Ticket Routing for Live Chat

For organisations with larger customer service teams HubSpot has released a feature that allows you to route service tickets to certain Customer Service representatives depending on the skills they have and the skills needed at service ticket level.  Skills could include things like knowledge (eg. Certain technology), language (eg French) and allows service requests on live chat to head to the right people for a better, higher quality user experience.  

*Available to all Service Hub Enterprise customers
