HubSpot Portal Audit Tool for Configuration and Risk Review

The Challenge

HubSpot portals often accumulate unused assets, inconsistent configurations, and overlapping workflows as teams grow and processes evolve. Over time, workflows, properties, forms, and permissions can become difficult to manage without a clear view of how everything is used.

Manually reviewing these areas requires navigating multiple settings and piecing together information from different parts of the system, which slows audits and makes it harder to quickly identify cleanup opportunities, governance gaps, and risks that can impact reporting, automation, and user access.

What It Is

Evalu8 is an internal auditing tool that analyzes HubSpot portals across nine key functional areas, helping teams understand how their environment is configured and where risks or inefficiencies may exist.

Core capabilities include:

Secure connection to a HubSpot portal using a Service Key
Comprehensive audit with customization for which functions to audit
Structured results using summary cards, tables, and filters
Comparisons of historical audit runs to track changes over time
Results exported as Excel or branded HTML for documentation and analysis

Nine Audit Areas

Reviews core portal functions across workflows, properties, forms, lifecycle stages, and permissions.

Flexible Audit runs

Run all areas at once or select specific areas based on operational priorities and needs.

Duplicate detection

Identifies potential duplicate properties across object types using similarity clustering

Workflow AI export

Export workflow definitions as JSON for analysis using AI tools like Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT.

Historical Comparison

Compare audit runs over time to track configuration changes and portal usage trends.

Excel and HTML Exports

Download structured reports for documentation, sharing, and deeper analysis.

Form consolidation analysis

Surface forms with overlapping fields that may be strong candidates for consolidation efforts.

Teams & Permissions

Review user access, team structure, and role assignments across the portal. Identify governance risks and ensure permissions align with organizational needs.

Custom Objects

Review custom object structure and record activity across the portal. Ensure custom data models remain organized, relevant, and actively used.

Properties

Lifecycle Stages

Analyze how records move through lifecycle stages across the portal. Identify funnel gaps, stalled progression, and configuration inconsistencies.

Workflows

Excel Export

Audit results can be downloaded as a structured Excel (.xlsx) workbook organized by audit category. This format supports documentation, internal reviews, and ongoing cleanup planning.

Portal Management

Evalu8 is designed to manage multiple HubSpot portals from a single dashboard. Teams can securely connect environments, run audits as needed, and review results across time without rebuilding configurations or repeating setup steps.

The process is intentionally straightforward so audits can be run consistently across different clients, business units, or environments.

Add a new portal directly from the dashboard
Connect securely using a HubSpot Service Key
Validate required scopes before running audits
Run full audits or select specific sections
Switch between historical runs to compare results
Update credentials, test connections, or remove portals
