Use the data quality command center

The data quality command center shows an overview of how data is stored in your HubSpot CRM, and highlights potential issues with your data. You can evaluate possible issues with your properties, records, data sync integrations, and workflows. From the command center, you can also drill down further into each asset and take action to improve the quality of your data.

Only users with super admin or data quality tools access permissions can access the data quality command center.

To access the command center:

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Reports > Data Management > Data Quality.

• Data monitoring: the total number of unexpected changes in your data. Track specific properties in the data quality tool to monitor updates to the property's values on CRM records for anomalies using HubSpot AI. You can keep track of the number of times that property values have been updated, compared to the expected range of updates for this property.
• Properties: the total number of contact, company, deal, and ticket properties in your account, a daily trend report for property issues, and the number of properties that HubSpot has identified as having any of the following issues:

• • No data: there are empty or incomplete values for the property on records.
  • Unused: the property is not used in any HubSpot tools such as lists, workflows, or reports.
  • Duplicates: there is another property that is similar to the property.

• Records: the total number of contact and company records, a daily trend report for record issues, and the number of records that HubSpot has identified as having any of the following issues:
  • Formatting issues: the record has a property value that may be formatted incorrectly (e.g., missing a capital letter for Last name).
  • Duplicates: there is another record that is similar to the record.

• Data Sync: the total number of connected data sync apps, a daily trend report for data sync issues, and the number of apps that HubSpot has identified as having any of the following issues:
  • Apps with sync failures: the app is connected and data sync is turned on, but HubSpot has identified that some records are not syncing.
  • Apps with no active syncs: the app is not syncing either because the account is disconnected, existing syncs are paused, or data sync hasn't been set up or turned on.
• Workflows: the total number of active workflows, a daily trend report for workflow issues, and the number of workflows that HubSpot has identified as unused or at-risk. 
  • Unused workflows: the workflow has been turned off or hasn't had any activity in the last 90 days.
  • At-risk workflows: the workflow has at least one unique error.

Below, learn how to access more information about each section's insights and act on data quality suggestions.

Monitor properties

If the number of updates is outside of the expected range, this will be considered an anomaly. For example, if a property has been updated 15 times on a certain day, and the expected range is 5 to 10 times, it will be flagged as an anomaly. You can review these issues in the data quality tool and subscribe to notifications when these anomalies occur.
