As a Marketing Operations partner to 100+ B2B companies, we at RightWave know how fast the martech landscape evolves and how critical it is to stay ahead of that curve.
That’s why the May 2025 HubSpot updates, curated by Tyler Samani-Sprunk on MarTech.org, caught our attention.
These updates are not just about shiny features. They’re about solving real-world MOPS problems …from better data enrichment and smarter automation to more granular control over workflows, permissions, and revenue insights.
Here’s our breakdown of what matters most for Marketing Ops, RevOps, and CRM leaders:
AI Moves from Hype to Utility
-
HubSpot Credits Model: A flexible credit-based system lets you choose where to apply AI – from enriching leads to running Buyer Intent or Customer Agent tools. This is a game-changer for scaling without waste.
-
Breeze Copilot Redesign: The AI assistant is evolving into a truly intelligent partner. Expect more contextual answers, faster responses, and deeper understanding of CRM data.
-
AI-Powered Summarization & Video Marketing: Imagine support tickets and deal histories summarized in workflows, or webinar recordings auto-optimized and clipped for social — all in-platform.
Smarter Automation for Leaner Teams
-
Workflow Overview Dashboard: Finally, a central place to monitor automation health and performance.
-
Slack Workflow Upgrades: Create channels, include CRM context, and reduce noise. This tightens the MOPS–Sales–CS loop.
-
Summarize Record Action: Enables faster handoffs between teams with rich contextual history baked into every transition.
Clean Data = Better ROI
-
Real-Time Duplicate Detection: No more post-import cleanup. AI now catches duplicates at the source.
-
Granular Enrichment Controls: Decide when, how, and where data enrichment should apply — and conserve those AI credits.
-
Multi-Select Owner Fields: CRM gymnastics for co-ownership are finally over.
Visibility Into Revenue and Retention
-
Commerce Analytics Suite: Track churn, billing vs. collections, overdue invoices — all without jumping to spreadsheets.
-
Subscription Permissions: Keep sensitive recurring revenue data secure and structured.
-
Daily Sales Digest Emails: Proactive nudges in your inbox that keep reps focused and prepared.
Marketers, Rejoice
-
AI for Video Metadata, Chapters & Clipping: The ability to optimize long-form content for SEO and engagement, within HubSpot, means better ROI on every webinar or thought leadership asset.
-
HTML to HubSpot Email Import via AI: A migration dream. Developers hand off code; marketers take over in visual mode.
