How to Create and Manage HubSpot Notification Profiles

Hubspot makes it easy to control which alerts each user receives by letting you create customized notification profiles. With the right setup, your team members only see the messages that matter most to them, across email, in-app, and other channels.

This guide walks you through how notification profiles work, who can use them, and how to create, assign, and manage them efficiently.

What Are HubSpot Notification Profiles?

Notification profiles are reusable collections of notification settings that you can apply to multiple users in your account. Instead of configuring alerts one user at a time, you build a profile once and then assign it wherever it’s needed.

Each profile can define settings for:

• Which actions trigger notifications (for example, mentions, form submissions, or ticket updates).
• Which channels deliver those notifications (such as email or in-app).
• Whether notifications are enabled or disabled for specific tools.

You can create different profiles for different teams, roles, or regions, then update them centrally whenever your notification strategy changes.

Requirements for Using HubSpot Notification Profiles

Before you can use notification profiles, your account must meet certain conditions. These capabilities are limited to certain products and user types.

• Only users with Super Admin permissions can create, edit, or delete notification profiles.
• Notification profiles are available in specific HubSpot subscription tiers. If you do not see the option, your current plan may not include this feature.
• Individual users must still review and confirm any required personal notification settings in their own profiles when prompted.

How to Access Notification Profiles in HubSpot

To start working with profiles, you need to open the notification management area inside your account settings.

1. Log in to your account with a user that has Super Admin permissions.

2. Click the settings icon in the main navigation bar to open the settings panel.

3. In the left sidebar, navigate to the section that manages Notifications.

4. Locate the tab or area specifically labeled for notification profiles. Here you will see existing profiles and options to add new ones.

Once you are in this screen, you can create new profiles or manage existing ones without changing each user’s individual settings manually.

How to Create a New HubSpot Notification Profile

Creating a profile is a guided process. Follow these steps to define which notifications are included and who will use the profile.

Step 1: Start a New Profile

1. In the notification profiles area, click the button to Create notification profile or a similarly named action.

2. Enter a clear profile name, such as “Sales Team Core Alerts” or “Support Managers”.

3. Add an optional description to explain the purpose, for example, which users or teams should be assigned to this profile.

Step 2: Configure Profile Notification Settings

Next, define what notifications this profile controls. The exact options depend on which tools are active in your account.

Common categories you may see include:

• Conversations and Inbox – new messages, thread assignments, replies.
• CRM records – record assignments, mentions, comments, or lifecycle changes.
• Marketing – form submissions, campaign results, or email performance alerts.
• Sales – task reminders, deal changes, or quote-related notifications.
• Service – ticket updates, escalations, and SLA-related alerts.

For each notification type, you will typically be able to:

• Turn the notification on or off for this profile.
• Choose delivery channels (for example, email or in-app).
• Adjust advanced options if available, such as digest vs. instant alerts.

Review each category carefully to ensure the profile matches the needs of the group that will use it.

Step 3: Save and Activate the Profile

1. After adjusting all notification categories, double-check the settings summary.

2. Click Save to create the new profile.

3. Confirm that the profile now appears in your list of available notification profiles.

At this stage, the profile exists but is not yet applied to any users. The next step is assigning it.

How to Assign HubSpot Notification Profiles to Users

Assigning a profile ensures users receive notifications according to the rules you defined. You can apply a profile to individual users or groups.

Assign a Profile to Individual Users

1. From the profiles list, locate the profile you created.

2. Open the assignment or users section for that profile.

3. Search for and select the users who should follow this profile’s notification settings.

4. Save your changes so the assignments take effect.

Users will now receive notifications based on this profile, except for any settings that must be controlled individually for security or privacy reasons.

Assign a Profile by Team or Role

In some accounts, you may be able to assign notification profiles at the team or role level.

• Select the desired team or role in the assignment interface.
• Apply the profile so all members inherit its settings.
• As users join or leave that team, they will gain or lose the associated profile automatically.

This approach is useful when your organization structure closely matches how you want notifications to behave.

How to Edit or Delete a HubSpot Notification Profile

Over time, your notification strategy may change. You can update existing profiles or remove ones you no longer need.

Edit an Existing Profile

1. Open settings and navigate back to the notification profiles section.

2. Find the profile you want to edit and click its name.

3. Adjust the name, description, or any notification settings as required.

4. Review the impact of these changes on assigned users, then click Save.

All users assigned to this profile will automatically follow the updated settings, which makes centralized management much easier.

Delete a Profile Safely

1. In the profiles list, locate the profile you intend to delete.

2. Confirm whether any users are still assigned to it. Removing a profile can affect their notifications.

3. Select the option to Delete the profile.

4. Confirm the deletion when prompted. Depending on your account, users may fall back to their individual notification settings after the profile is removed.

Always verify assignments before deletion so you do not unintentionally disrupt important alerts.

Best Practices for Managing HubSpot Notification Profiles

To keep your workspace organized and your team informed without overload, follow these practical tips.

• Use descriptive names: Include the team and purpose in each profile name for quick identification.
• Limit profile variations: Create a small number of shared profiles rather than dozens of slightly different ones.
• Review regularly: Schedule periodic audits to ensure profiles still match your current processes.
• Communicate changes: Let users know when you update a profile so they understand any new notifications they receive.
• Test before scaling: Assign a new profile to a small group first, confirm it works as expected, then roll it out wider.
