Broken automations are working against you.
Workflows with overlapping triggers fight each other. Zero-enrollment automations waste your HubSpot limits. Missing suppression lists blast contacts who should be excluded.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I find broken HubSpot workflows?
Look for three signatures: workflows with zero recent enrollments, workflows in an error state, and workflows whose triggers reference properties that were renamed or archived. Broken automation rarely announces itself — it just stops enrolling people, which looks identical to a quiet period until you check.
Why did my HubSpot workflow stop working?
The most common cause is a property change upstream. Renaming or archiving a property silently breaks any enrollment trigger or branch that references it, and HubSpot does not flag the dependency. Integration changes and deleted lists cause the same failure. The audit maps which workflows reference properties that no longer exist.
How often should I audit my HubSpot automation?
Quarterly is a reasonable baseline for most portals, and monthly if you have several people building workflows or an active integration writing to the CRM. The trigger for auditing more often is change: every property rename, integration update, or team restructure is an opportunity for silent breakage.
