Weighted round-robin by rep capacity (custom property counter)

One of 565 written HubSpot workflow specs, by a collective of independent HubSpot consultants.

Professional

Seat pricing: Professional edition. To build it, a GTM Seat or an Ops Seat (an Ops Seat cannot create marketing emails or sequences). Per-hub plans: Sales Hub Professional.

1 step
Per-hub plans: also Marketing Hub Professional

On per-hub plans, one of its steps belongs to another subscription: random split needs Marketing Hub Professional. Both are required to build it as written. On seat pricing the edition covers both.

Updated for HubSpot seat pricing
OutcomeLeads split across the team in proportion to each rep's actual capacity (a senior full-time rep gets more, a part-time or ramping rep gets less) instead of everyone getting an identical even share.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when the team is not uniform: mixed tenure, part-time reps, ramping new hires, or reps carrying a different existing pipeline load who should get fewer or more new leads than an even split would give them.
  • Use it once plain lead-routing-001 or lead-routing-002 is already working and the team has agreed on relative capacity numbers (not exact live workload, see Known pitfalls for that distinction).

Skip it

  • Do not use it if the team is genuinely uniform in capacity; an even round-robin (lead-routing-002) is simpler to build and to audit.
  • Do not use it expecting a live, real-time workload balancer. HubSpot workflows cannot dynamically compare one rep's current open-lead count against another rep's inside a single branch; this fiche uses a pre-agreed weighting, reviewed and rebalanced on a cadence, not a real-time optimizer. A true live capacity balancer needs a custom coded action to compute and compare counts across reps, which pushes this into Data Hub Professional territory, out of scope for the sales-professional tier this fiche targets.
