When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when the team has an agreed maximum number of open, unworked leads a rep should carry at once, and no one currently watches that number on a regular cadence.
  • Use it as a review prompt, not a hard, automated block. HubSpot has no custom properties on users, so "rep capacity" cannot live as a field on the rep; it has to be measured by counting contacts, which is what the report below does.

Skip it

  • Do not use it expecting an automatic real-time stop on assignment. See lead-routing-025 for the same limitation applied to daily lead volume; this fiche is the general capacity version of that same pattern.
  • Do not use it if the team is small enough that a manager already reviews the pipeline daily; the extra reminder may be redundant.
