Understanding campaign filters and sources

Campaign filters and sources help you organize, segment, and control visibility of leads — essential when multiple teams, partners, or workflows operate inside the same campaign.

TL;DR

Sources identify where a lead came from (booking form, web form, import, API feed) — used for tracking, reporting, and automation triggers. Filters limit, segment, or group leads inside a campaign — used in automations, views, hh-data queries, and to restrict what external partners can see. SELECT fields enable consistent categorization for segmentation and branching logic. Use Ctrl+K / Cmd+K in any editor field to search and insert placeholders instantly.

4 things to understand

1

Sources — where leads come from

A source identifies the origin of a lead: booking form, campaign form, imported list, Zapier/API integration. Sources are used to track lead origins, segment reporting, trigger automations based on entry channel, and prioritize incoming leads. Each lead carries its source automatically when created through a specific entry point.

2

Filters — segmenting and controlling visibility

Filters limit, segment, or group leads inside a campaign. They can be used in automations (trigger only when filter matches), views and dashboards (show only certain leads), hh-data queries (fetch only specific leads), and partner dashboards (restrict which leads an external partner can see). Filters can be based on status, field value, select value, assigned user, timestamps, calendar events, UTM data, and more.

3

SELECT fields — consistent categorization

SELECT fields classify leads using predefined options (e.g. lead type, priority, project category, region). Unlike free-text fields, select fields ensure consistent categorization. Use them in automations, filters, dashboards, reports, and conditional templates: @if(@select[field,slug] == value){ ... }@else{ ... }@endif.

4

Placeholder search — Ctrl+K / Cmd+K

In any input field inside the Hubhus editor, press Ctrl+K (Windows) or Cmd+K (Mac) to open the placeholder search modal. Search by natural words like "lead name", "event date", "signature". Quickly find and insert lead placeholders, event placeholders, HTML components, page links, booking forms, custom fields, and assigned person placeholders. This is faster and safer than manually browsing the placeholder panel.
