How to use the Metric Builder for HubSpot Marketing (Contacts)
Pro Tip: Add the word "by" in between the Metric and Dimension in order to determine an appropriate Custom Metric Name. From the Metric and Dimension examples outlined above, we could create the Custom Metrics "Became an Opportunity by Original Source," "Became a MQL by Owner," and "Became a Customer by HubSpot Team ID."
Invert Metric (Optional): This checkbox should be selected if a lower Metric value indicates positive growth / performance (i.e., Unsubscribers, Cost per Conversion, etc.) Inverting the Custom Metric in Databox will make it so an increase in the Metric value will show a red percentage change color on a Databolock, while a decrease in the Metric value will show a green percentage change color on a Datablock.
Pro Tip: If you don't know which Filters to put in place for your use case, use the Dimension + Data Preview to troubleshoot and get more insight into the data that is returned from your HubSpot Marketing Account for each field. Learn more here.
Custom Metric Name: Enter a name for your Custom Metric. This Custom Metric Name will be available in the Designer after saving.
Save: Save your Custom Metric.

Additional Information
- If there is no data returned for the specified Date Range(s), no data will be displayed in the Preview data.
- Daily data is not available for Custom Metrics created through this Metric Builder. Because of this, you will want to view your Custom Contacts Metrics on a Visualization Type that does not necessitate granularity options. Line Charts and Bar Charts will not be good Visualization Types for this data, but Tables, Pie Charts, and Number Blocks will be.
- For Custom Metrics created by this Metric Builder up to 24 months of historical data can be synced with Databox.
