HubSpot December 2025 Month Updates and Releases: What New Came Out
December releases are often treated as cleanup work. Small UI tweaks, quiet backend changes, things teams promise to review later and rarely do. HubSpot’s December 2025 updates do not fall into that category. This release cycle focused on how teams actually use the platform day to day, especially where work slows down, data breaks, or automation becomes harder to trust at scale.
HubSpot December 2025 Month Updates
This month there is not a single stand out feature but a number of important updates came out. It is the way HubSpot has tightened the connection between data, automation, and execution across the CRM. The updates feel less like feature expansion and more like course correction. The goal is clearer workflows, safer changes, and better signal for teams that already live inside the platform.
Unified Experience Improvements
Redesigned Editing Interfaces
A key part of HubSpot’s December updates was a significant overhaul of the email creation experience. The traditional email editor was redesigned to provide a full-canvas environment where marketers can see audience, sender details, subject line, and content together in one view. This change reduces friction during campaign build-out and makes onboarding new team members easier.
Alongside this, enhancements to the product updates page helped users find relevant release information faster with improved search tolerance, clearer layout, and action-oriented recommendations.
Forms and Payments
December also brought extended sandbox support for forms. It allows teams to build and test them in a controlled environment before publishing. For organizations dealing with compliance, regional variations, or multi-step lead capture, this is a practical improvement. It allows proper QA without risking live traffic or corrupting reporting data.
Additionally, digital payments integration was introduced directly in the new forms editor. This allows event registrations, product orders, or donations to accept payments within the form experience. It streamlines payment collection and can shorten the conversion path.
AI and Automation Advancements
Run Agent Workflows Action
The introduction of AI agent execution inside workflows is a signal of where the platform is heading.
Instead of automation being limited to predefined rules, teams can now trigger AI agents as part of a workflow and use their output to update records or drive next actions. This opens the door to more adaptive processes, such as summarizing complex interactions, qualifying records based on unstructured inputs, or assisting reps before a task is assigned. This brings AI execution deeper into business process automation rather than limiting it to occasional off-platform interactions.
HubSpot Connectors and AI Integration
HubSpot expanded its integrations with external AI platforms. For example, the HubSpot connector for Google’s Gemini AI allows teams to bring CRM context into Gemini, extract insights, generate drafts or summaries, then action those back into HubSpot. This is particularly valuable for distributed teams where external AI tools complement core CRM activities.
The August rollout also included expanded access for Claude connectors with the ability to update CRM records directly from conversational AI prompts and to act on full engagement histories with contacts and deals.
Data and Workflow Enhancements
Multi-Account Workflows
Many enterprises around the world operate multiple HubSpot accounts—for example, separate subsidiaries or brand units. The new multi-account workflows feature enables operational consistency across these accounts. Workflows built in one account can create or update contacts and pipeline data in linked accounts, ensuring common processes execute across an organizational ecosystem.
Custom Filters and Index Page Improvements
Teams can now configure quick filters on index pages based on any property, remove default filters that are irrelevant, and reorder filters to reflect how their team works. This improves data management efficiency for sales, customer success, and marketing operations.
Buyer Intent and Signals
New buyer intent signals focused on company news—such as product launches, executive hiring, and mergers—appear directly on company record timelines. Sales and marketing teams can use these signals in scoring models or workflows to act promptly when key account activity suggests an opportunity.
CRM, Reporting, and Records Management
Enhanced Merge and Permission Controls
Administrators gained greater control over record management with separate merge permissions. Previously, the ability to merge a contact, company, or deal was tied to edit rights. Now, merge privileges can be granted independently, reducing risk to data hygiene.
Expanded Records and Associations Limits
Developers and operations teams received significant platform improvements in late November that continued into December. These include increased record limits for Orders and Carts objects, association limits raised to 250,000 per object type, and stronger API tooling for property validation.
Salesforce-Like Projects API
The new Projects API allows programmatic creation, retrieval, and association of project objects via the public CRM API, supporting more complex pipeline and account operations.
Content Creation and Asset Integration
Integrated Video Production
HubSpot introduced a bi-directional integration with Descript, an AI video editing application. Users can send video assets to Descript, perform editing operations, and then return finished assets to HubSpot for distribution and performance tracking.
Google Drive App
The new Google Drive app, currently in private beta, enables direct linking of Drive files to HubSpot records.
Operations and Governance
Sandbox Migration
HubSpot announced sunsetting of legacy standard sandboxes in March 2026, with the new standard sandboxes already available in December. The transition period includes increased sandbox limits to ensure teams can replicate production environments and test governance policies before the old sandboxes retire.
Developer Tools and Lifecycle Management
Enhancements to developer tools included updated HubSpot CLI tooling, support for beta platform versions, improved documentation, and the introduction of property validation via CRM API. A platform lifecycle management schedule helps teams plan migrations and avoid service disruptions.
Impacts by Functional Area
Marketing Hub users benefit from advanced segmentation, buyer intent data, Google Drive integration, and more intelligent automation. These updates help reduce manual tasks and strengthen campaign relevance.
Sales Hub teams see multiple dashboards, enriched sales context from external AI connectors, and stronger association limits that support complex accounts.
Service Hub operations gain from enhanced customer agent capabilities and new ticketing tools like snooze function and round-robin assignment updates.

The December 2025 updates from HubSpot reflect multiple themes including deeper automation with AI, improved governance and testing tools, and smarter data usage.
