Notifications—love ‘em or hate ‘em, they're a necessary evil in the CRM world. But when those notifications start piling up, they can quickly turn into a distracting mess, making it harder to stay productive.

Lucky for you, HubSpot has your back! Whether you’re drowning in too many alerts, getting updates that don’t even matter to you, or just not sure where to find important info, we’re here to help you sort it all out.

Too Many Notifications, Too Little Time

200w

Let’s be real: nobody wants their phone buzzing every two seconds with a new deal update, task reminder, or comment notification. It’s easy to feel like you’re in the middle of a notification storm, and it’s not the productive kind.
 
Good news: HubSpot lets you take control of your notifications like a pro. You can choose exactly what you want to hear about—whether it’s Tasks, Deals, or Sales Activity. This means you won’t be bombarded by alerts that have nothing to do with you. You get the important stuff and nothing more. Your inbox (and your brain) will thank you.

And I Care Because....?

Another classic problem? Getting notifications for things that have absolutely no relevance to you. If you’re a sales rep, why would you care about a marketing campaign update, right? But if your notifications aren’t configured properly, that’s exactly what might happen.
 
With HubSpot, you can leave those irrelevant notifications behind. Inside your account settings, you have full control over what gets your attention. Simply head to the notification preferences and turn off anything that’s outside the scope of your role.
 
Whether it’s updates from departments you’re not involved with or notifications about activities that don’t concern you, you can easily adjust your settings. This way, you’ll only receive the alerts that truly matter to your day-to-day, keeping you informed without the extra noise. It’s all about making sure your inbox and your mind stay clutter-free, so you can focus on what’s important.

Where Art Thou, Update?

You’ve got emails, tasks, comments, and all sorts of updates coming at you from different directions. It’s easy to miss an important notification if you don’t know where to look. We’ve all been there—scrolling through multiple tabs, wondering if you missed something vital.
No more hunting for updates—HubSpot gives you the flexibility to choose exactly how you want to be notified. Whether you prefer email alerts, browser pop-ups, or in-app notifications, you can set it up so you only get updates through the channels that work best for you.
 
This means you won’t be checking multiple places to stay in the loop—everything comes to you in your preferred format, making it easier to stay organised and on top of things. Customisation is key, and HubSpot’s got your back!

Set it and Forget it

HubSpot knows that not everyone wants to fiddle around with settings every time they log in, especially when you’re managing a team. That’s why HubSpot gives admins the power to set up default notification profiles for their team. This means that your staff won’t accidentally turn off critical alerts. Phew, right?
 
Of course, if a user really needs to adjust something, they can override the admin settings at the account level. So there’s flexibility for everyone, but the default settings ensure that people aren’t missing out on essential updates.

Mobile App Update: Now You’ll Never Miss an Important Notification Again

Now, let’s talk about HubSpot’s latest update for mobile notifications. If you’ve ever had the problem of missing out on key updates because your notifications disappeared after 24 hours, fear no more! HubSpot has extended that window to 7 days. So, whether you’re on a plane, at the beach, or just buried in meetings, you’ve got a whole week to catch up on anything you might’ve missed.
 
But wait, there’s more! HubSpot has also added new sorting and filtering options for your notifications. You can now sort by date (oldest or newest) and filter out unread notifications. It’s all about making your life easier and ensuring you never miss an important update—even when you’re on the go. Just update the mobile app and you’re good to go.

Final Thoughts

Let’s face it—notifications are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they keep us informed and help us stay productive. On the other, they can be a total nightmare when they’re not set up right.
 
Thankfully, HubSpot’s got your back with customisable notification settings that make it easy to stay on top of things without getting overwhelmed. Whether it’s fine-tuning your alerts, cleaning up your mobile notifications, or setting up defaults to keep your team in check, HubSpot makes it all super simple.
 
So, sit back, relax, and let HubSpot do the heavy lifting while you focus on what really matters.
