How to colour deal cards on the HubSpot Deals board

HubSpot lets you choose which properties a deal card shows and colour a whole pipeline stage, but it can’t colour a single card by its own dates. The Deal card colours for HubSpot template colours overdue, stale and closing-soon deals on the board, in your own browser, with no admin setting and no workflow.

Steps

1. In Skins Studio, open Explore, pick Deal card colours for HubSpot and click Create App.
2. On your HubSpot Deals board, open the Skins side panel from the browser toolbar. The skin is listed under On this page.
3. Switch it on. The board reloads with the cards coloured.

What you get

• A colour bar on the left edge of each open deal card, a soft tint and a short reason line.
• Red, “Close date passed N days ago”, when the close date is in the past.
• Amber, “No activity for N days”, when the last-activity chip is 14 days old or more.
• Blue, “Closes in N days”, when the close date is within 14 days.
• Red wins over amber, and amber over blue.
• Won and lost columns are left alone.
• A legend in the filter bar with a count for each colour.

Limits

• It reads only what each card shows: the Close date and the last-activity chip. Both must be visible on the card; you pick them in the board’s card settings.
• The rules and the 14-day thresholds are fixed in this template.
• It can’t colour by “customer replied last”: the board doesn’t show who sent the last email.
• Only in your browser. Colleagues see the colours only if they turn it on too.
• Open columns only.

Other options

• Deal Tags plus a workflow: a workflow sets a property and a Deal Tag shows it on the card. Workflows need a Pro plan or higher.
• Zapier or n8n: an automation sets a deal property that a Deal Tag or card property can show. Runs outside HubSpot, on the automation tool’s own plan.
• Ask HubSpot: vote on the idea.
