WordPress website visitor data gets more accurate in HubSpot reports

So, for anyone who uses HubSpot's Wordpress plugin for tracking your HubSpot contacts' WordPress website activity, I previously noticed that HubSpot's tracking script still tracked the activity of my clients' employees when they were visiting the clients' own website.
That meant that myself and others had a lot of frontend page views appearing in the HubSpot reports because we’re visiting the website a lot and this is reducing the accuracy of the data in HubSpot reports.
It's not enough to rely on blocking traffic per IP in HubSpot's settings as depending on the setup of the organisation, it can be difficult to exclude everyone and challenging to keep up to date. So I asked the HubSpot plugin developers to consider adding the option to stop logged in administrators and editors from having their website activity tracked in HubSpot reports.
This feature is now live, so hopefully now our team members won't have 100s of page views skewing our data - but obviously your team will need to be logged in to your Wordpress website for this to work. Their data could still be tracked if your team members aren't logged into the website.
If you're using HubSpot cookie consent, your team members can also reject to stop being tracked on your WordPress website without being logged in.
Also, HubSpot allows the blocking of traffic per IP address which is good to use in addition to the above: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/reports/exclude-traffic-from-your-site-analytics
Hope this helps others.

Solved! Book Meetings on Behalf of Other UsersPost
Hey HubSpotters, This public beta is BIG for sales teams. Finally, HubSpot has solved the challenge where BDRs/SDRs need to book meetings for AEs - essentially, allowing someone else to book a meeting for you. SET IT UP: Users must be in a Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise portal. Users must also have a paid seat for this feature. Users must have a connected calendar. The "Calendar Sync" setting must be enabled.Go to Settings > General > Calendar From the contact record, click "schedule a meeting" - there is now a "host" field that defaults to the current person BUT can now be changed via the dropdown. NOTE: Organizers are not added as attendees. If you are not hosting, but still want to attend, be sure to add yourself via the Attendees dropdown with any other folks who need to attend. What about reports?To get a report on this - run a meeting activities report using "created by" and "assigned to" filters. Enjoy this public beta and have a great week!

Minor ChatSpot Updates with Major IMPACTPost
Hey HubSpotters, HubSpot is all in when it comes to ChatSpot and it seems Dharmesh and his team are providing weekly updates to the changes they have made. This week, keyword research just got a little easier with the prompt: "show me keywords that HubSpot.com ranks for".Because the prompt doesn't include either Paid or Organic, ChatSpot would have previously shown an error. NOW, ChatSpot will show you both organic and paid within one table, making it much easier to do industry research and get the results you need.A few other improvements that are highlighted this week: Improved UI for text wrapping: Now, our text editor is more responsive, making it easier to read and edit longer prompts such as tweets or blog posts. Enhanced email campaign performance analysis: We've added unique opens, open rate as a percentage, and click-through rate as a percentage to provide you with more impactful data. New parameter guidance: To reduce errors and make it even easier for you to get the data you need, we've added a parameters modal for specifying inputs in suggested prompts. AI development is moving at lightning speed, with new tools and advancements coming out everyday. Thankfully, HubSpot has provided a single place to get the latest improvements to ChatSpot. Stay tuned for more!Don't forget, if you have a favorite prompt that you find extremely useful, please share it with the rest of the group in this post. Have a great week.
