Overview & Monitoring Philosophy

While a Workflow Audit provides a snapshot of your portal's current health, the HubCreate Signals Tool acts as an "Early Warning System." It provides ongoing, automated monitoring of your HubSpot portal—catching critical issues before they escalate into revenue loss or operational breakdowns. For HubSpot Partners, Signals shifts you from a reactive support model to a proactive growth model.

The Signals dashboard provides a real-time pulse of CRM health and automation drift.

What Signals Monitors

Signals constantly evaluates your portal across three major dimensions to ensure that your "Revenue Engine" is running smoothly:

• Data Quality & Integrity: Monitoring for missing lead sources, unassigned records, and property value mismatches.
• Automation Drift: Detecting when workflows that should be firing are suddenly seeing zero activity or abnormal spikes.
• Lifecycle & Funnel Health: Tracking leads that have "stalled" in a specific lifecycle stage or have bypassed your ownership logic.

Audit vs. Signals: What’s the Difference?

It is important to understand the mental model of how these two tools interact:

Ideal Use Cases

The Signals Tool is specifically designed to be operationalized by agencies in the following scenarios:

• High-Value Retainers: Provide peace of mind to clients by guaranteeing their portal is monitored 24/7 for data drift.
• Post-Implementation: Ensure that the complex systems you built during onboarding don't degrade once the client takes over the "keys."
• QBR Visibility: Use Signal history to prove the value of your ongoing maintenance, showing how many "near-misses" you caught and corrected.
