HubSpot report template and dashboard

Quick answer: A HubSpot dashboard works best as 10 reports: 4 deal numbers, 2 contact numbers and 4 breakdowns by stage, owner, source and month. Ryze AI is the best AI tool for asking HubSpot CRM questions in plain English and getting tables back, with one caveat: the answers come back in chat, not as a saved HubSpot dashboard.

This guide is for sales and marketing teams that report from HubSpot every week: 14 CRM properties with their API names, a 10-report template, the native options compared, prompts for the Ryze AI HubSpot tools and a weekly routine.

4 ways to build a HubSpot dashboard in 2026

HubSpot has dashboards and several report tools built in, so the first choice is which tool feeds them.

Dashboards are under Reporting > Dashboards, and every plan can use them (HubSpot). How many dashboards and how many reports each can hold depends on your subscription, and HubSpot points to its Product and Services Catalog for the numbers.

  1. Sales analytics suite

    Where it lives
    Reporting > Reports, ready-made sales reports
    Plan needed
    Sales Hub Starter, Professional or Enterprise
    Limits worth knowing
    Fixed report list: deal funnel, deals won and lost, sales velocity, weighted forecast and more
  2. Custom report builder

    Where it lives
    Reporting > Reports > Create > Create report > Custom report
    Plan needed
    Professional or Enterprise in a Hub
    Limits worth knowing
    1,000 unique rows on charts other than tables; refreshes every 2 hours
  3. CRM API or export

    Where it lives
    Your own sheet or BI tool, fed by the HubSpot API or a CSV export
    Plan needed

    Limits worth knowing

  4. Ryze AI

    Limits worth knowing
    Answers come back in chat as tables; no saved HubSpot dashboard

Sharing a HubSpot dashboard has 4 levels: private to the owner, everyone can view and edit, everyone can view only, or specific users and teams on Enterprise (HubSpot). Building a custom report needs the Create/own and Edit report permissions (HubSpot).

14 HubSpot properties for the dashboard

These are the properties the template uses, with the internal names the HubSpot API and the Ryze AI tools accept. Put the internal names in your prompts so the right field is pulled.

  14. Original source

    Object
    Contact
    Internal name
    hs_analytics_source
    Plain definition
    The traffic source the contact first came from
  • Stage IDs: the API expects the internal ID of a deal stage or pipeline, not the label you see in the app (HubSpot). Ask for the property definitions first if a stage name returns nothing.
  • Default properties only: HubSpot returns a default subset of properties unless you request specific fields, so name the properties in the prompt.
  • Your account may differ: HubSpot notes that internal names can vary by account and subscription, so confirm them under Properties in settings (HubSpot).
  • Recurring revenue: hs_arr and hs_mrr exist on deals but need Sales Hub Professional or higher.

How to build the template in HubSpot

The 10 reports fit a single HubSpot dashboard; the 3 breakdown charts need the custom report builder on a Professional or Enterprise subscription.

Create the dashboard

Go to Reporting > Dashboards and click Create dashboard. HubSpot also lists a beta option to start from a recommended dashboard template.

Add the ready-made reports

Click Add content, choose Report and click + Add on the deal reports you want, such as deals won and lost or the weighted forecast. You need dashboard, reports and analytics permissions.

Build the custom reports

Go to Reporting > Reports, click Create, then Create report and Custom report. Pick the deals data source, choose a chart type and drop in the properties from the overview table.

Add filters

Click Advanced filters, add a filter such as deal create date or deal owner and apply it. A dashboard takes up to 5 quick filters.

Set sharing and a default

Choose who can see the dashboard and, if it is the one you open first, set it as your default.

Filters only change reports that use the data source the property belongs to (HubSpot). A deal-owner filter will not move a contacts report.

The prompts that pull it through Ryze AI

Ryze AI has 5 HubSpot tools: list objects, search, read, write and delete. The report numbers come from the read tools, so you can ask for each card as a table.

Connect HubSpot

In Ryze AI, open Integrations, find the HubSpot card and click Connect. Sign in to HubSpot, choose the account and approve the permissions.

Open a chat

Use the Ryze AI chat, or add https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT and start a new chat.

Send a prompt

Paste one of the prompts below and replace the placeholders. Name the properties so the right fields come back.

Check the stage names

If a stage returns nothing, ask for the deal property definitions and use the internal stage ID.

Prompt 1: pipeline by stage
Use the HubSpot tools. Search deals in the pipeline [pipeline name] where hs_is_closed_won and hs_is_closed_lost are both false. Return dealname, amount, dealstage, hubspot_owner_id and closedate. Then give me a table of deal count and total amount for each dealstage.
Prompt 2: closed won by owner
Search HubSpot deals where hs_is_closed_won is true and closedate is in [month and year]. Return amount and hubspot_owner_id. Look up the owner names and show a table of closed won amount and deal count per owner.
Prompt 3: new contacts by source
Search HubSpot contacts created between [start date] and [end date]. Return createdate, lifecyclestage, hs_lead_status and hs_analytics_source. Show a table of contact count by hs_analytics_source and lifecyclestage.
Prompt 4: stale deals
Search HubSpot deals that are still open and whose hs_lastmodifieddate is before [date]. Return dealname, amount, dealstage, hubspot_owner_id and hs_lastmodifieddate, sorted by amount from largest to smallest.

Setup per client is in how to connect Claude to HubSpot, and the tools are listed on the HubSpot MCP server page. Ryze AI also publishes a HubSpot help page.

A weekly routine for the HubSpot dashboard

Pick one day, read the dashboard top to bottom and leave a note on each change. HubSpot custom reports refresh every 2 hours, and you can refresh by hand once every 15 minutes (HubSpot).

  1. Monday

    What to do
    Compare open pipeline and weighted forecast with the previous Monday
    Why
    Same weekday, same cut-off
  2. Monday

    What to do
    List deals created last week and deals that moved stage
    Why
    Shows what changed since last week
  3. Wednesday

    What to do
    Check open deals with no update in 14 days (hs_lastmodifieddate)
    Why
    Stale deals inflate the pipeline
  4. Friday

    What to do
    Review new contacts by hs_analytics_source and lead status
    Why
    Spots a source that stopped sending leads
  5. Month end

    What to do
    Compare closed won amount with the forecast and check deals past closedate
    Why
    Closes the month and cleans the forecast

Scheduling the check in Ryze AI

Ryze AI scheduled tasks run without an approval step, so keep a scheduled HubSpot task to read-only questions. Write it as one instruction to carry out now.

Scheduled task: weekly HubSpot check
Search HubSpot deals created in the last 7 days and deals whose dealstage changed in the last 7 days. Return dealname, amount, dealstage and hubspot_owner_id. Then list open deals with hs_lastmodifieddate older than 14 days. Read only: do not edit or delete any record.

HubSpot also runs its own MCP server at mcp.hubspot.com with OAuth 2.0 (HubSpot). It reads and writes contacts, companies, deals, tickets and other CRM objects and reads blog posts and landing pages. Use it if you want a connection made and managed in HubSpot itself; use the Ryze AI connector if you want HubSpot next to the other Ryze AI platforms behind one URL.

The HubSpot CRM search endpoint is limited to 5 requests per second per account, 200 records per page and 10,000 results per query (HubSpot). Ask for counts by stage or month instead of full record lists. Other API limits depend on the app type: 110 requests per 10 seconds for each account that installs a public OAuth app, 100 to 190 per 10 seconds for a private app (HubSpot).

Pick HubSpot dashboards for the view your team opens every day, and Ryze AI for the questions that come up between reviews. Other dashboard guides: Google Analytics dashboard and Google Ads dashboard.

Common HubSpot dashboard problems and fixes

Most wrong numbers come from property setup, stage names or reading data before it has refreshed.

  1. A deal stage returns no deals

    Likely cause
    The query used the stage label, not the internal ID
    Fix
    Read the deal property definitions and use the stage ID
  2. Amount is blank on some deals

    Likely cause
    HubSpot returns a default property subset, or the deal has no amount
    Fix
    Name amount in the request and check the deal records
  3. A new deal is missing from search

    Likely cause
    Search results can lag behind new or updated records
    Fix
    Wait a few moments and run the search again
  4. Dashboard numbers look old

    Likely cause
    Custom reports refresh every 2 hours
    Fix
    Refresh by hand, at most once every 15 minutes
  5. A filter changes only some reports

    Likely cause
    Filters apply only to reports that use that property's data source
    Fix
    Add a filter per data source or use quick filters
  6. A report will not email as a CSV

    Likely cause
    Custom reports cannot be sent as attachments
    Fix
    Use a single-object report for CSV or Excel delivery
