Custom events are easy now. Designing them is the work.

Setting up custom events (how HubSpot records things that happen elsewhere, like usage or transcripts) is very easy now. To Ryan Ginsberg's point, "there is a magnificent custom event layer that is very easy to set up now in HubSpot to cover all of these things."

The part that does not get easier: "you have to design it, you have to architect it and then build it and then make sure it's working." I think the checking that it's working will come from a conversation with Breeze.

If you are about to build on events, spend your first pass on the design.
