Automatically Update Case Study Metrics from CRM
The problem
Case studies quote metrics that were accurate when published and drift out of date. Marketing has no system to refresh them.
Implementation steps
- 1
Tag case study customers in HubSpot with custom property
- 2
Create calculated fields for key metrics (e.g., "deals closed since start date")
- 3
Set up monthly Zapier job to pull updated metrics
- 4
Use Zapier Google Docs integration to update specific paragraphs
- 5
Notify content team in Slack when metrics change significantly
Template outline
The structure to recreate in your own workspace. Field names and thresholds are starting points.
Setup:
1. HubSpot: Custom property "Case Study Customer" (yes/no)
2. HubSpot calculated property: "Total Revenue" (sum of deal amounts)
3. Zapier monthly trigger
4. HubSpot: Search for contacts where Case Study = Yes
5. Google Docs: Find/replace {{customer_revenue}} placeholder
6. Slack: Notify #content if revenue increased >50%Keep going
