How to alert Slack when a HubSpot deal is stuck in a stage for over 14 days
Automatically identify deals that haven't moved in your pipeline and alert the deal owner or sales manager in Slack with deal details and a link to take action.
Why track stale deals?
Deals that sit in a pipeline stage without activity are either dead or dying. They clutter forecasts, inflate pipeline coverage, and hide the truth about your team's real pipeline. Automated stale deal alerts force accountability and prompt reps to either advance or disqualify.
What you'll need
- HubSpot account with API access
- Slack workspace with bot access
- A defined threshold for "stale" (e.g., 14 days with no activity)
