When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it after any bulk import, a pipeline merge, or a migration from another CRM, these are the situations most likely to produce a deal whose Deal stage value belongs to a different pipeline than the one on the Pipeline property.
  • Use it as an ongoing safety net if deals are regularly created or updated through the API or a third-party integration that does not enforce the same pipeline-stage pairing the HubSpot UI does.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if every deal in your portal is created and edited exclusively through the HubSpot UI, the interface itself prevents this mismatch from happening in normal use, this fiche exists for the integration and migration paths that can bypass that.
  • Do not treat every flagged deal as urgent, a mismatch does not usually block a deal from closing, it distorts stage-based counts and reports until corrected.
