Graph View
Visualize how your pipelines are configured and how they interact with each other through an interactive graph interface.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Graph View provides a visual representation of your pipeline ecosystem, showing how data flows between different automations, what sources feed into each pipeline, and how outputs connect to your HubSpot CRM.
Access: Navigate to Graph View from the main navigation or settings menu.
Interface
Section titled “Interface”View Selection
Section titled “View Selection”Contact View:
- Shows pipelines that process contact data
- Displays contact-specific data sources
- Visualizes contact property mappings
Company View:
- Shows pipelines that process company data
- Displays company-specific data sources
- Visualizes company property mappings
Graph Elements
Section titled “Graph Elements”Pipeline Nodes
Section titled “Pipeline Nodes”Each pipeline appears as a node in the graph:
Node Information:
- Pipeline name
- Pipeline kind (Workflow, Classifier, Agent, Sequence)
- Status indicator (Active/Inactive)
- Processing statistics
Data Sources
Section titled “Data Sources”Input sources that feed data into pipelines:
Source Types:
- HubSpot Lists
- Deduplication pairs
- Custom filters
- External APIs
- Enrichment services
Connections
Section titled “Connections”Lines showing data flow between components:
Connection Types:
- Solid lines — Active data flow
- Dashed lines — Conditional flow
- Arrows — Direction of data movement
How to Use
Section titled “How to Use”Understanding Pipeline Flow
Section titled “Understanding Pipeline Flow”- Select object type (Contact or Company)
- View the graph to see all pipelines for that object
- Follow the connections to understand data flow
- Click nodes for detailed configuration
Identifying Dependencies
Section titled “Identifying Dependencies”The graph shows which pipelines depend on others:
- Upstream dependencies (what feeds this pipeline)
- Downstream dependencies (what this pipeline feeds)
- Shared data sources
- Output destinations
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Use Graph View to diagnose issues:
Find bottlenecks:
- Identify pipelines with many dependencies
- Spot circular dependencies
- Find unused pipelines
Verify configuration:
- Ensure data sources are connected correctly
- Check that outputs flow to intended destinations
- Validate field mappings
Planning Changes
Section titled “Planning Changes”Before modifying pipelines:
- Review current state in Graph View
- Identify impacted pipelines that depend on what you’re changing
- Plan migration path to minimize disruption
- Update systematically following dependency order
Common Patterns
Section titled “Common Patterns”Linear Flow
Section titled “Linear Flow”Simple processing chain:
HubSpot List → Validation → Enrichment → Update HubSpotBranching Logic
Section titled “Branching Logic”Multiple paths based on classification:
HubSpot List → Classifier → { Path A: High-value leads → Premium enrichment Path B: Standard leads → Basic enrichment Path C: Low-quality → Cleanup only}Aggregation
Section titled “Aggregation”Multiple sources feeding one pipeline:
{ New contacts from forms Imported CSV data API integrations} → Deduplication → Master record creationCascading Updates
Section titled “Cascading Updates”Sequential processing stages:
Raw contact → Cleaner → Validator → Enricher → Scorer → Sequence enrollmentUse Cases
Section titled “Use Cases”Onboarding Review
Section titled “Onboarding Review”New team members can quickly understand:
- What automations are running
- How data flows through the system
- Which pipelines are critical
- Where bottlenecks might exist
Audit & Compliance
Section titled “Audit & Compliance”Document your data processing:
- Export graph visualization for compliance records
- Show data lineage for audits
- Verify data handling policies
- Track data transformations
Optimization
Section titled “Optimization”Identify improvement opportunities:
- Remove redundant pipelines
- Consolidate similar workflows
- Optimize processing order
- Reduce unnecessary enrichment
Impact Analysis
Section titled “Impact Analysis”Before making changes, understand:
- Which pipelines will be affected
- What data flows might break
- How to test changes safely
- What rollback plan is needed
Limitations
Section titled “Limitations”Current limitations:
- Graph shows configuration, not real-time data flow
- Very complex setups may require zooming/panning
- Historical flow is not shown (only current state)
