Updating Client Health in HubSpot
Learn how to update and review client health (Red/Amber/Green) in HubSpot using the Client Health Check-In object and recurring workflows.
All active clients are expected to have an up‑to‑date Red/Amber/Green (RAG) health status in HubSpot. Client health is captured on a custom Client Health Check-In object and refreshed on a 90‑day cadence via workflow tasks to CRLs, with escalation when updates are overdue.
✏️ Note: Cadence & ownership
Client health check-ins are owned by CRLs, with GRLs and Vertical Leads involved in escalation and follow‑up when clients are flagged Amber or Red.
Completing a Scheduled Client Health Check-In
You’ll receive a recurring task when it’s time to complete a client health check-in.
Here’s how to complete a scheduled Client Health Check-In:
- Open the Client Health task
- From your HubSpot task queue or task notification, open the task created by the Client Health workflow.
- The task is triggered from the internal RAG score on the company record and is associated with that company.
- Navigate to the Company record
- In the task, click through to the associated Company.
- Confirm you’re on the correct client (name, vertical, owner).
- Open or create the current-period check-in
- On the Company record, locate the Client Health Check-In association (card/panel).
- If a check-in already exists for the current period (month/quarter), open that record.
- If not, create a new Client Health Check-In record from the association panel.
- Update the required fields
In the Client Health Check-In record:- Confirm Client / Company Name is correct.
- Set Check-in Month & Year to the period you’re assessing.
- Set Client Health to:
- Green
- Amber
- Red
- Add a clear Rationale / Notes explaining why the client is at that status.
- Confirm any other required fields (Vertical, CRL, GRL, etc.) are populated correctly.
- Save the record
- Click Save to commit your changes to the Client Health Check-In.
- Click Save to commit your changes to the Client Health Check-In.
- Complete the task
- Return to the task and mark it Complete.
- Add a brief note if needed (e.g., if you anticipate a near‑term change in health, or if follow‑up with leadership is planned).
Manually Updating Client Health Outside the 90‑Day Cadence
You may need to update client health in between scheduled check-ins (for example, after a major risk, escalation, or significant improvement).
To manually update client health:
- Open the Company record in HubSpot.
- Navigate to the Client Health Check-In association — this will be on the right hand side of the screen. You may have to scroll a little!
- Click the “+Add” button on the Client Health Check-In card
- Fill out the form with required fields
- Save
