When creating a revenue attribution or deal-create attribution report, the report will include any available interaction types that are turned on in your settings. Many interaction types are turned on by default, while others need to be manually turned on before the reports tool can begin analyzing those interactions.
Below, learn how to customize the interaction types included in attribution reports.
Customize interaction types
Within your account settings, you can adjust the interaction types included in your revenue and deal create attribution report. Once you've made changes to your interaction types, your existing reports will need to be reprocessed. This may take up to two days, depending on the amount of data in your HubSpot account.
To customize your included interaction types:
- In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon settings in the main navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Tracking & Analytics > Attribution. By default, you'll arrive at the Revenue attribution tab where you can customize the interaction types included in your revenue attribution reports.
- To customize interaction types included in deal create attribution reports, click the Deal create attribution tab.
- To turn on/off an interaction type, click to toggle the switch off next to the interaction type. For more information about an interaction type, click the arrow icon to the left of the interaction type.
- Once you've selected the interaction types to omit, click Save in the bottom left.
- In the dialog box, click Save & start reprocessing.
