HubSpot Product Update Briefing: Receive Inbound Calls via Calling Apps
Date: October 2, 2024
Topic: HubSpot Calling SDK Enhancement for Inbound Calls
Summary:
This product update introduces significant improvements to HubSpot's Calling SDK, enabling calling app partners to integrate inbound call functionalities directly within the HubSpot platform. Previously, a lack of inbound call support for calling apps within HubSpot forced users to navigate between separate applications, leading to a fragmented workflow.
Key Features:
- Inbound Call Handling Within HubSpot: Calling app partners can now develop features allowing users to receive and manage inbound calls directly from their HubSpot account.
- Unified Dialer Interface: A new dialer pop-up window provides a centralized location for managing inbound calls without leaving HubSpot.
- Call Logging and Recording: All incoming calls, including missed calls, are automatically logged in the call index page. Call recording is available if enabled in both the calling app and HubSpot settings.
Benefits:
- Streamlined Workflow: Users can manage their entire calling experience—inbound and outbound—within HubSpot, eliminating the need to switch between applications.
- Enhanced Productivity: Consolidating calling activities within HubSpot saves time and reduces disruptions, improving overall efficiency.
- Improved Call Management: Centralized call logging and recording features provide a comprehensive view of all calling activity, facilitating better tracking and analysis.
How it Works:
- Select Calling App: Choose the desired calling app provider from HubSpot's Calling Settings page.
- Open Call Tab: Click the phone icon in the navigation bar to access the inbound call connection area. This tab must remain open to receive inbound calls.
- Log into Calling App: Enter your credentials in the pop-up dialer window to log into your chosen calling app.
- Set Availability: Once logged in, set your availability status to begin receiving inbound calls. A green dot on the phone icon indicates active call reception.
- Receive Calls: Incoming calls will trigger an "incoming call" notification in the call icon, prompting you to answer via the dialer pop-up.
Important Notes:
- Calling app partners need to enable the inbound calling feature using HubSpot's Calling SDK and Receive Incoming Calls API.
- Only one calling app provider can be selected for receiving inbound calls at a time.
- The call dialer window must remain open in the background to receive calls.
- This feature is available to all HubSpot users, regardless of their subscription tier.
Quote:
"Customers can now harness the full potential of calling in one place. With the newly updated dialer pop-up, they can receive inbound calls and seamlessly manage their calling experience directly with their calling app provider, all within HubSpot."
Conclusion:
This update represents a significant step forward in unifying the calling experience within HubSpot. By integrating inbound call capabilities for calling apps, HubSpot empowers users to manage all aspects of their communication effectively from a single platform, leading to a more efficient and productive workflow.

The size depends both on the HTML code (tables, text, links) and graphics embedded in the email."

Briefing Doc: Declarative Optional Scopes for Public Apps - HubSpot API Update Date: October 21, 2024 Subject: Mandatory Update for Public App Scope Declaration Summary: This document reviews the upcoming changes to HubSpot's API, specifically regarding the declaration of optional scopes for public apps. Starting October 21, 2024, self-selection for declaring optional scopes will be disabled, requiring developers to adopt new advanced settings for managing app permissions. Key Points: Mandatory Transition: All public app developers must transition to the new advanced auth settings and explicitly define required, optional, and conditionally required scopes for their applications. Failure to comply by October 21, 2024 will result in the app becoming unavailable for installation by customers. Enhanced Security and Installation Process: This update is primarily driven by a need to enhance security for public apps and improve the app installation experience from the HubSpot App Marketplace. Dynamic Permission Requests: While enforcing stricter scope management, the new settings retain the ability for apps to dynamically request specific permissions based on factors like tiered features or user-controlled functionality. 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. "These new settings ensure that all of the permissions that an app may request are controlled in the settings for the app, while still allowing apps to dynamically request specific permissions depending on things like tiered features or user controlled functionality." 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. Potential Impact: Improved Security Posture: The enforced scope management will mitigate potential risks associated with overly permissive app access. Streamlined App Installation: Clearly defined scopes will lead to a more transparent and user-friendly installation process for customers. Increased Developer Responsibility: Developers will assume greater responsibility in meticulously managing and declaring the scopes required by their apps. Next Steps: Familiarize yourself with the updated scope management system and advanced auth settings. Review the "Advanced auth and scope settings for public apps" Developer Changelog post. Update your public app's scope definitions in accordance with the new requirements before the October 21, 2024 deadline. This briefing document serves as an overview of the upcoming changes.

HubSpot Integrates with Microsoft Teams for Webinar Registration This product update introduces a significant improvement in the integration between HubSpot and Microsoft Teams, specifically for managing webinar registrations. Key Highlights: Automated Webinar Registration: HubSpot users can now automatically register contacts for Microsoft Teams webinars using contact-based workflows. This eliminates the need for manual registration through Microsoft Teams, streamlining the process and saving time. Dynamic Enrollment Based on Criteria: Workflows allow for segmented and dynamic enrollment based on HubSpot contact properties, such as form submissions or other criteria. This enables targeted webinar promotion and registration. Centralized Marketing Activities: Previously, using Microsoft Teams for webinars required separate registration management outside of HubSpot. This integration allows users to centralize all their marketing activities within HubSpot, including webinar promotion and registration. Improved Data Synchronization: The integration ensures that registered contacts appear both in the Microsoft Teams webinar attendee list and on the corresponding HubSpot marketing event record. This synchronization provides a unified view of webinar participation across platforms. Key Benefits: Increased Efficiency: Automating webinar registration saves time and reduces manual effort.

Workflow Access: Access to workflows is necessary to utilize this feature, requiring a HubSpot Professional or Enterprise plan.

Conclusion: The integration of HubSpot workflows with Microsoft Teams for webinar registration is a valuable enhancement for users of both platforms. This update streamlines webinar management, improves efficiency, and provides a more centralized and data-driven approach to webinar marketing.…
