Using Breeze by HubSpot with Operations Hub

Operational efficiency is key to business growth, but many organizations struggle with data silos, complex workflows, and maintaining clean, actionable data. HubSpot’s Operations Hub, powered by Breeze AI, is designed to solve these challenges by automating workflows, ensuring data hygiene, and providing the flexibility to scale operations efficiently.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the major Operations Hub updates powered by Breeze AI, how they enhance data management and workflow automation, and why these features are essential for operational success.

Why AI is Essential for Operations Teams

For operations teams, manual data management, siloed systems, and inefficient workflows can hinder productivity and slow down growth. The goal of operations is to streamline business processes, optimize data flows, and provide teams with the tools they need to work more efficiently. However, without automation, maintaining clean data, connecting disparate systems, and ensuring seamless workflow execution becomes a time-consuming task.

Breeze by HubSpot provides AI-driven solutions that automate these processes, offering real-time data insights, automating repetitive tasks, and integrating various systems into a single, unified platform. With Breeze, operations teams can focus on higher-level strategy while reducing the time spent on manual tasks.

Breeze AI for Operations Hub: Key Features and Benefits

1. AI-Powered Data Hygiene: Automate Data Cleansing and Enrichment

One of the biggest challenges for operations teams is maintaining clean, up-to-date data. Breeze by HubSpot helps solve this by providing AI-powered tools for data cleansing, deduplication, and enrichment, ensuring that your CRM is always populated with accurate, actionable information.

Your CRM has multiple duplicate contact records, leading to inefficiencies in sales outreach. Breeze automatically detects and removes these duplicates, ensuring that your team is always working with accurate and clean data.

2. AI Workflow Automation: Simplify Complex Operations

Complex workflows are often the backbone of operational processes, but managing and optimizing these workflows manually can slow down your team. With Breeze AI, you can automate key workflows using natural language prompts, reducing the complexity of setup and execution.

Key Features:

• AI-Driven Workflow Creation: Breeze allows you to create workflows using simple, natural language prompts, eliminating the need for manual setup or complex configurations.

Example Use Case:

Your operations team needs to trigger a workflow whenever a customer submits a request for a product demo. With Breeze, you can automate the process from request submission to demo scheduling, ensuring that leads are quickly routed to the right team members without manual intervention.

3. External Webhooks: Seamless Integration with Third-Party Platforms

As businesses rely on multiple platforms to manage their operations, it’s crucial for these systems to work together seamlessly. Breeze by HubSpot enhances the Operations Hub by enabling external webhook triggers in workflows, allowing teams to automate processes that involve third-party systems.

Key Features:

• Webhook Triggers: Breeze enables you to trigger HubSpot workflows based on data passed from external systems via webhooks, allowing for more dynamic and customized automation.
• Data Tokenization: With webhook triggers, you can use tokens from external data sources within workflows, making it easier to pass information between systems and automate cross-platform actions.

Example Use Case:

Your company uses a third-party customer support platform. Whenever a high-priority ticket is created, a webhook triggers a HubSpot workflow to notify the sales team, ensuring that the appropriate team members are aware of customer issues in real-time.

4. AI-Assisted Data Sets: Advanced Data Management and Reporting

Data sets are essential for operations teams looking to manage and transform data for more accurate reporting and streamlined decision-making. Breeze AI enhances this by automating data set creation and transformation, enabling teams to work with curated data for reporting and analysis.

• CSV Integration: Operations teams can now integrate CSV data directly into HubSpot data sets, making it easier to join external data with HubSpot’s CRM data.
• Workflow Integration: You can enroll objects from a data set directly into a workflow, allowing for advanced automation use cases.

Example Use Case:

Your operations team needs to create a report that joins customer purchase data from a CSV file with CRM data. Breeze automates the process, ensuring the data is accurate and ready for reporting, while also allowing you to enroll relevant objects into workflows based on the report’s findings

5. AI-Powered Data Quality Enhancements: Keeping Your CRM Actionable
