for a full audit
See what breaks before you touch anything
Problem
You need to rename a property or turn off a workflow, but you have no idea what else depends on it.
Solution
The Impact Analyzer maps every workflow that uses that property as a trigger, a condition, or an output, so you see the full picture before you change a thing.
"Before Howly, there was no easy way to know if updating one property would set off a chain of events that wasn't planned."
— Lea Moise Kleinman, Strategic Operations Leader
"We've been able to quickly identify issues in client accounts that would have taken probably a couple hours to uncover manually."
— Lindsay John, Adoption & Enablement Manager
Win the client on the first call
Problem
Discovery on a large portal can eat the entire first week before any real work begins.
Solution
Connect the portal and get a complete map, AI insights, and a prioritized issue list before the second meeting. Then show it live on the call.
"Use it in your sales calls. The visualization sells itself, and your expertise sells the solution."
— Mike Rizzo, CEO, MarketingOps.com
"Pulled up Howly on a client call, showed the workflow map and health checker, and closed $5K MRR within 24 hours."
— Bradley Foster, CRO, CULT Collective
Stop guessing how your HubSpot workflows connect.
Stop guessing what's safe to delete
Problem
Stale workflows, orphaned automations, and broken logic have piled up for years. Nobody knows what is safe to remove.
Solution
The Health Checker flags every stale, orphaned, and empty workflow automatically. Cleanup becomes a list instead of a guessing game.
"Helped us identify redundant workflows, missing triggers, and inactive logic within minutes. Our audit time has been reduced by over 70%."
— Osamah Khalid, Senior Marketing Manager
"Saved me hours of untangling messes across workflows, especially ones triggering each other. This should honestly be built into HubSpot."
— James Winters, HubSpot Solutions Partner
A complete, client-ready deliverable
Problem
You need to show a client exactly what is broken and what it will take to fix, or de-risk a migration, without days of manual digging.
Solution
Connect the portal and get a health score and a branded report in minutes. For migrations, you get the full dependency map before you move anything.
"Outputs a report I can give to clients that would cost me several hours to deliver on."
— Nicole Pereira, Founder, Smuves
"A no-brainer tool that saves tons of time with incredible speed and visualization - wish I'd found it sooner!"
— David Roddy, Senior GTM Engineer
Full visibility from day one
Problem
AI agents can now create HubSpot workflows through the API. Without a visibility layer, portals get messy faster than ever.
Solution
Howly maps everything an agent builds, so you can see connections, property dependencies, and downstream impact before anything goes live.
"Gives instant visibility into workflows and catches issues before they become problems."
— Brandon Blitz, HubSpot Solutions Partner
"Makes it much easier to understand dependencies and stay organized as your portal scales."
— Samantha Kall, COO, Melanin Money
Build before touching HubSpot
Problem
You want to build a new workflow but you're not sure how it fits into your existing automation or what it might conflict with.
Solution
Configure a planned workflow in Howly and see every connection it would have before you build it in HubSpot.

Launch with confidence
See every automated list and property trigger connecting your marketing campaigns before you launch.
Does any of this sound familiar?
"Are we good to launch the new email nurture?"
You look at the contact list trigger, but you have no idea if a legacy workflow from a past campaign is going to overlap and double-email the same leads. You scan HubSpot, but you're flying blind. You hit launch anyway and pray.
A teammate updates a custom property field on a primary lead capture form.
They don't realize that field was the primary enrollment trigger for a core nurturing sequence. The connection silently snaps, and thousands of new signups stall out over the weekend.
Leads are mysteriously getting dropped between marketing lifecycle stages.
Your team is forced to manually click into dozens of individual workflows, cross-referencing contact histories line-by-line, trying to find the exact point where the data routing broke.
See exactly how your forms and contact lists connect to active sequences

You are on a live strategy call trying to explain a catastrophic portal mess to a non-technical client.

Does any of this sound familiar?
Your team needs to clean up a cluttered database dictionary.
There are 50 custom contact fields nobody has touched in three years. You want to delete them, but you’re completely terrified because you don't know what hidden automation or sync loop will collapse if they disappear.
Over the last five years, multiple admins, ex-employees, and third-party tools have built overlapping workflows in your workspace.
The infrastructure has become a complete black box. Every time someone builds a new automation, they risk creating a data collision.
Your marketing team turns on Breeze AI to spin up automated paths in seconds.
The workflows build fast, but you have zero visibility layer showing how those new automated paths are latching onto your existing architecture, risking system-wide race conditions.

Automated workflow mapping and AI health audits for HubSpot. The visibility layer for RevOps teams and agencies.

Meet the team
Christian Baun
Founder
I spent years uncovering messy HubSpot setups and overcomplicated automation as a consultant before starting Howly. I built this app to give teams a clear map of their workflows, so they can stop guessing what breaks when they flip a switch.
Chloe Vance
Customer Support
My background is in linguistics and teaching, which means I'm wired to break down complex things so they make sense. I help users through getting started with Howly, making sure every step feels clear and actually helps their team.
Jens Baun
Advisor
I’ve been helping businesses automate their processes since the 1980s. Over the decades, I’ve learned that software only works if it actually serves the people using it, and I use that experience to help Howly grow the right way.
A Note from the Founder
HubSpot is the most powerful tool I've ever used to grow a business. But as a portal scales, the complexity of your workflow system grows with it. When you are managing hundreds of active automations, you cannot rely on memory alone.I built Howly because automation without visibility is guesswork.I wanted to see exactly what would happen before pushing a change live. Instead of spending hours manually mapping boxes and arrows, Howly gives you a clear picture of your entire workflow system in seconds. We are not here to change how you work in HubSpot. We're here to give you the clarity you need to do it faster.If you've ever felt the weight of managing a complex, high-growth portal, we built this for you.
