Last updated: July 16, 2024

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

Service Hub   Professional , Enterprise

With HubSpot's custom report builder, you can analyze multiple data sources across HubSpot. The difference between the custom report builder and other types of HubSpot reports is that you can surface data from marketing and sales activities in addition to objects. For example, you can create a report to measure how your target accounts are engaging with your website.

To create reports with the custom report builder, the user must have Create/own and Edit report permissions.

Create a report

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Reporting & Data > Reports.
  • In the upper right, click Create report.
  • In the Create reports from scratch section, click Custom Report Builder
  • Click Choose my own data sources.
  • In the Primary data source section, select Tickets from the dropdown menu.
