Common Workflows

Pipeline Report

1. List all deals with dealstage, amount, closedate 2. Group by stage 3. Sum amounts per stage 4. Present as pipeline summary table

Contact Enrichment

1. Search contacts missing key properties (NOT_HAS_PROPERTY) 2. For each, check if company domain exists 3. Pull company data and update contact

Deal Health Check

1. List deals in active stages 2. Flag deals with no activity in 14+ days 3. Flag deals past expected close date 4. Present prioritized action list

Important Notes

• Always use pagination for large datasets. Default limit is 10, max is 100.
• HubSpot property names are lowercase with no spaces (e.g., firstname, dealstage, closedate).
• Deal stages vary by pipeline. List pipeline stages via the Pipelines API if needed.
• Rate limit: 100 requests per 10 seconds. Batch operations when possible.
