Top ChatSpot Prompts to Enhance Your Experience

Similar to ChatGPT, ChatSpot utilizes generative AI to interpret natural language queries, or 'prompts', and provide you with the desired response. However, as with any AI technology, the quality of the output is heavily dependent on the input provided.

Here are some examples to help you get started: 

  • How many [Contacts/deals/tickets] are there? 
    This will allow you to easily retrieve the count of contacts/deals/tickets and their associations.

  • Add [contact/deal/ticket] [record information to add]
    Add records directly from chatspot

  • Report of all [Industry] companies in [geographical area]
    Utilize HubSpot's industry insights to obtain a list of companies in a specific geographic location and industry. This is also useful for competitor research and analysis or outreach campaigns.
    • Advanced Example: “Generate report of company names for companies with associated contacts, segmented by the number of associated contacts for each company”

  • Generate Reports: “Generate a report of [contacts/tickets/deals] created per month [in year/quarter/etc]”
    You can tailor the prompt to select specific data within a time frame.

  • Make that a bar chart
    After creating the report, you can use additional prompts to change the format into a more visual presentation, such as a bar chart.

  • Save to [platform] as [name] 
    With this handy function, you can save your work either to HubSpot or Google Docs.

 

How to Create a Personal HubSpot Test Account

Creating a test account in HubSpot is an essential step if you are looking to experiment and test the applications in a safe environment and avoid rookie mistakes. Follow these simple steps, and you'll be ready to test your application in no time!
