Most onboarding teams don’t have easy access to the reporting data they need.

But it doesn’t have to be that way…

Build this HubSpot dashboard with me so you never have to go searching for data again.

I decided to find out just how long it really takes to build a dashboard with 5 reports for customer onboarding from scratch. Here’s the complete 16-minute implementation:

This is what we'll build HubSpot custom reports for👇

1. Breakdown of onboarding plans by start month and status

Get a clear view of how long it takes your customers to get onboarded and quickly identify any accounts falling behind the baseline.

Here's how it works:

  1. Create a custom Tickets report and filter to our pipeline(s) where customer onboarding is being managed.
  2. Select our visualization type
    Use the “Vertical Bar” chart type to show bars representing our onboarding tickets.
  1. Select the property values to display:
    X-axis: Create Date - Monthly
    Y-axis: Count of Tickets
    Break down by: "Arrows Plan Status"

2. Onboarding plans by health + process stage

Use a dynamic onboarding health score updated using an automated workflow and Arrows data to group customers by progress against their plan.

As you’re looking at these reports, you might be wondering why the data I’m using isn’t available in your HubSpot account.

Many of the properties in these onboarding reports are being updated in HubSpot in real-time as customers make progress (or don’t) in their Arrows collaborative onboarding plan attached to each ticket in our HubSpot onboarding pipeline.
