ABOUT
Built by a marketer who got tired of mapping workflows by hand
I started Howly as a simple way to map HubSpot workflows for my consulting clients. I was spending hours untangling automations, trying to make sense of how everything connected.After talking with customers, it became clear the problem was bigger than just visualization. Teams needed a way to check workflow health, see dependencies, and understand the impact of every change.That’s how Howly evolved — from a mapping tool into the automation control platform it is today.It’s still just me building, shipping fast, and listening to the people who want clarity inside HubSpot.
Making HubSpot workflows easier to understand, so teams can move faster and focus on the stuff that matters.
Take control of your HubSpot workflows.
