Introduction
You can automate Forwrd to continuously update HubSpot with your model's output. This will enable your GTM teams to review and prioritize based on the results.
Forwrd provides the following output for each prediction:
Forwrd Score - Forwrd scores each record as either Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor based on the propensity to convert. 'Excellent' has the highest propensity, while 'Poor' has the lowest.
Forwrd Explain - This explains the top signals influencing the model's score.
Forwrd Trend - Values are either Up, Down, or empty (no change). For example, if a prediction changes from Fair to Good, the trend value will be Up.
Forwrd Score Date - the date of the recent score change.
This article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up these fields in HubSpot and automating them in Forwrd.
