Video Views on the Contact Activity Timeline

NEW ON OCTOBER 2, 2020

Tracking how customers engage and interact with your video content allows you to better nurture your customers and understand what content is resonating with your audience at every stage of the buyer’s journey. But in the past, it’s hasn’t been easy to track which videos individual contacts in your CRM are viewing. To make it easier to leverage video as part of your marketing strategy, you can now see video view events on contacts’ activity timelines in the CRM.

Three updates to improve speed and permissions for file management in HubSpot

Today’s updates give you even more control when managing your files within HubSpot.
