“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
HubSpot workflows only trigger when properties change from empty to having a value. If a contact’s job title changes from “Manager” to “Director,” no workflow fires.
This limitation creates blind spots in your automation. Here’s how to capture every property change, including subsequent value modifications.
Monitor all property changes using Coefficient
CoefficientHubSpotHubSpot’s workflow system has a fundamental flaw: it only detects the first time a property gets a value.bypasses this limitation entirely by connecting directly to yourdata and monitoring changes through scheduled imports.
Instead of waiting for triggers that may never fire, Coefficient pulls fresh data on your schedule and compares it against previous states. This catches every modification, whether it’s the first assignment or the hundredth change.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect your HubSpot account through Coefficient’s sidebar.
HubSpotInstall Coefficient in your spreadsheet application and authenticate yourconnection. This creates a direct API link that doesn’t depend on workflow triggers.
Step 2. Import contact data with the properties you want to monitor.
Select specific contact fields during import setup. Include all properties where you need to track changes, not just initial value assignments.
Step 3. Schedule automatic refreshes for continuous monitoring.
Set up hourly imports to capture changes throughout the day. Each refresh pulls current property states and effectively detects any modifications since the last check.
Step 4. Configure alerts for property change notifications.
Use Coefficient’s alert system to notify you via Slack or email when specific properties change. Set up alerts for new rows added or cell value changes to catch modifications in real-time.
Step 5. Create historical snapshots for change tracking.
Schedule daily or weekly snapshots to preserve property value history. This creates an audit trail showing exactly when and how properties changed over time.
