Universal Impact: This update affects all HubSpot hubs and tiers, underscoring its significance for the entire developer ecosystem. Key Quotes: "We are disabling the option for developers to self-select into declaring optional scopes on October 21, 2024." This statement emphasizes the mandatory nature of the update and the firm deadline for compliance.

This clarifies the dual objectives of enhancing security through controlled permissions while preserving flexibility in dynamic permission requests. Call to Action: All developers of public HubSpot apps are urged to review the detailed information provided in the Developer Changelog post: "Advanced auth and scope settings for public apps". This resource will offer technical guidance on implementing the new advanced settings and properly defining the scopes required by their applications.

Briefing Doc: Sunset of Automatic Ticket Assignment for Sales Users in Help Desk Date: October 14, 2024 Source: Help Desk Product Update Subject: SUNSET: Automatic ticket assignment for sales-seated users in Help desk Summary: This update outlines a significant change to the Help Desk functionality, specifically regarding automatic ticket assignment. Effective immediately, only users with Service seats will be eligible for automatic ticket routing and assignment within Help Desk. Key Changes: Automatic Routing Rules: Sales-seated users will no longer be eligible for inclusion in "Specific users and teams" automatic assignment rules. Tickets will be routed to available Service seat users or remain unassigned if no eligible users are found within the rule. Contact Owner Assignment: Automatic assignment to the Contact Owner now requires the Contact Owner to possess a Service seat. If the Contact Owner lacks a Service seat, fallback routing rules will be applied, which also require Service seats for "Specific users and teams" selection. Team Assignment within Help Desk: Assigning a ticket to a team from within the Help Desk workspace will only consider users with Service seats on that team as eligible for assignment. Manual Assignment: Sales and core seated users can still be manually assigned as the Ticket Owner through the assignment dropdown within the Help Desk workspace. Rationale: The update is driven by the platform's focus on Help Desk as a dedicated workspace for reactive support. Full access to Help Desk features, including automatic ticket assignment, now necessitates a Service seat. As stated in the update, "Help desk is an opinionated workspace for reactive support and a service seat is required to access all of the features, including automatic ticket assignment." Impact: Organizations relying on automatic ticket assignment to sales users in Help Desk will need to adjust their workflows. Consider the following: Service Seat Provisioning: Determine which users require Service seats to maintain current ticket routing and assignment processes. Routing Rule Review: Review and update existing Help Desk routing rules to ensure proper ticket flow with the new limitations on Sales seat users. Process Adjustments: Update internal processes to reflect the changes and ensure effective ticket handling and response times. Affected User Groups: Service Pro users Service Enterprise users Next Steps: Evaluate current user base and Help Desk routing rules to assess the impact of this change. Communicate this update to all relevant stakeholders within the organization. Adjust user seat assignments and Help Desk configurations as needed to maintain desired workflows.…

Significance: Improved Insights: "Previously, reporting capabilities for marketing events could be limited because HubSpot’s custom report builder didn’t support the marketing events object." Now, marketers and event managers can gain deeper insights into event performance and engagement. Data-Driven Decision Making: The ability to analyze event data within the context of other HubSpot data empowers teams to make more informed decisions regarding their marketing strategies. Important Considerations: "Event finished" Property: This property is not automatically updated and requires manual API updates.

Data Source Selection: Choosing either "Marketing event participations" or "Marketing event analytics" is crucial to define the report's focus and prevent data conflicts. Availability: This feature is available to all HubSpot customers with Professional plans or higher.

Data source selection importance: "It’s important to select either ‘Marketing event participations’ or ‘Marketing event analytics’. This defines whether a report will be built on top of the participation state or the registration activities of the participants."
