HubSpot February 2026 Updates: Brand, Automation & CRM Improvements

Written by Glenn Miller | 14 February 2026

The February 2026 HubSpot updates focus on one clear theme: making everyday work faster, smarter, and more connected. From AI brand alignment and assistant creation to streamlined email compliance, better CRM data control, richer social reporting, and a massive wave of Marketplace enhancements, these updates are designed to remove friction while expanding capability.

Rather than shipping isolated features, HubSpot is tightening how AI, automation, data, and content workflows operate together, so teams can move faster with fewer compromises.

Below is a full breakdown of what’s new and how each update can impact your business.

Lupo’s Top Picks

1. Refresh Your Brand Identity with Your Latest Website Content

You can now refresh your Brand Identity by pulling the latest voice, context, and messaging directly from your website. HubSpot crawls your selected domain and uses that content to update how AI understands and represents your brand.

Why does it matter?
Your website is the most accurate reflection of your brand today. This update ensures that AI-generated content aligns with your current messaging, tone, and positioning,  especially useful if you’ve recently rebranded, updated messaging, or manage multiple brands in one portal.

How does it work?
Go to Content Hub → Brand → Brand Home, click Generate your Brand Identity or Crawl your website, enter your domain, and let HubSpot re-crawl your site. Manual inputs remain untouched, and you can see exactly which data was updated.

 

2. Create Marketing Events Directly from Marketing Studio

You can now create Marketing Events directly inside Marketing Studio, without switching tools.

Why does it matter?
Previously, events had to exist before being added to campaigns, breaking workflow momentum. This update eliminates unnecessary context switching, speeding up campaign creation and reducing friction.

How does it work?
On the Marketing Event card in Marketing Studio, click Create new content to build and attach an event instantly.

Footer management for CAN-SPAM compliance now lives entirely in Marketing Email Settings, and Marketing Hub Professional customers can now create multiple email footers — previously limited to Enterprise.

Why does it matter?
Businesses with multiple brands or office locations can now maintain compliant email footers without upgrading plans. Centralised management separates compliance admin from content creation, simplifying workflows and reducing editor clutter.

How does it work?
Navigate to Marketing → Email → Settings → Footer addresses to create, edit, set defaults, and manage multiple office footers. In the Email Editor, select the appropriate footer per email.

4. Prompt-Based Assistant Builder

A new assistant builder experience allows you to describe what you want in plain language, and HubSpot automatically generates structured instructions, inputs, and tools for your Custom Assistant.

Why does it matter?
Creating assistants from scratch was time-consuming and intimidating. This update removes the blank-page problem, enabling faster, higher-quality assistant creation with better outcomes.

How does it work?
In Breeze Studio, go to Assistants → Create Assistant, describe your goal in natural language, and HubSpot automatically builds the assistant framework for review and publishing.

5. Quote Custom Properties

You can now create and manage custom properties directly on the Quote object, just like contacts, companies, and deals.

Why does it matter?
This unlocks deeper quote personalisation, better reporting, and richer automation, enabling more tailored sales workflows and consistent data structures.

How does it work?
Go to Settings → Data Management → Properties, select Quote from the object dropdown, and create new custom, rollup, or sync properties.

6. Rich Text Editor for Welcome Messages in Custom Assistants

A full rich text editor is now available for assistant welcome messages, including formatting, links, lists, emojis, and live preview.

Why does it matter?
First impressions matter. Better formatting improves clarity, usability, credibility, and engagement, helping users understand what the assistant can do from the very first interaction.

How does it work?
When editing a Custom Assistant, navigate to Welcome Message, use the formatting toolbar, preview changes live, and publish.

7. LinkedIn Personal Account Followers Statistics

HubSpot can now track and report Followers statistics for LinkedIn personal profiles inside Social reporting.

Why does it matter?
This expands reporting visibility beyond company pages, giving marketers, founders, and sales teams deeper insights into personal brand performance and content reach.

How does it work?
Reconnect your LinkedIn personal account to HubSpot to enable access. Statistics will update daily, with up to 365 days of historical data backfilled.

8. 76+ New and 22+ Updated Apps in the HubSpot Marketplace

Over 76 new apps and 22 major updates were released across the HubSpot Marketplace, including AI, automation, CRM, video, events, data sync, and sales enablement tools.

Why does it matter?
With 2,000+ apps available, these updates massively expand what HubSpot can do, enabling deeper automation, better integrations, and faster workflows across marketing, sales, service, and operations.

How does it work?
Go to the HubSpot Marketplace via the top navigation icon, browse apps, and install directly into your portal (admin permissions required).
