Howly Core Features
Workflow Visualization
Howly automatically maps all your HubSpot workflows into an intuitive visual interface, showing triggers, enrollment types, and connections between workflows. Inactive workflows are highlighted in red for easy identification.
Connection Mapping
The tool intelligently displays relationships between workflows, helping users understand how different automations interact. Connected workflows are marked with purple dots, creating a clear overview of your automation ecosystem.
Multi-Portal Support
Howly Pro supports unlimited HubSpot Pro or Enterprise portals, making it ideal for agencies, consultants, and RevOps teams managing multiple client accounts or departments.
Non-Invasive Integration
Howly uses secure OAuth 2.0 authentication and never writes data to your HubSpot account. Users can disconnect at any time without affecting their HubSpot setup.
Focus Mode
To maintain clarity, workflow connections are only shown when a specific workflow is selected. This prevents visual clutter while still providing all necessary relationship information when needed.
Howly Use Cases

Marketing teams can quickly identify and troubleshoot inactive workflows (marked in red) and understand why certain automations aren't triggering as expected, saving hours of manual investigation.
