I would like to know whether Decile Hub has a feature that alerts users in the same group that a new Connector, Deal, LP etc. has been added

I would like my colleagues to be alerted by email or text when there has been activity in our Decile Hub account.  For example, say I met a founder. Once I add her contact information, meeting notes, and other relevant information in Decile Hub, I would like the option of circulate some or all of that information to my colleagues. Can that task currently be accomplished in Decile Hub?

Unlocking Decile Hub Functionality after an upgrade

Congratulations on upgrading your Hub account! You've unlocked many powerful features, and this post will instruct you on how to enable these things. Gmail 2-way sync The Gmail sync feature will retrieve the last 10 messages for all prospects in your Hub account who have the same email address in your Gmail account. It takes a few hours for the sync to complete the first time, and then your data will be synced twice per day afterward. To enable Gmail sync, click on your profile photo in the upper-right corner of Hub, then choose Integrations from the dropdown. You will see a button to connect your gmail account. You will need to log in with your Gmail credentials and approve the permission scopes. API Access From the left nav of your Hub account, expand Settings > API, then click on API Tokens. If a token does not already exist, create a new token. Hub Chrome extension The Hub Chrome extension uses AI to read the contents of any web page and insert a new prospect into one of your pipelines. To install and enable your Hub Chrome extension, follow these steps: Download the Hub Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web store When you first launch the extension it will ask you to paste in the API key from Hub (instructions to create an API key are above). You'll only need to do this once. After the first time, all you need to do is launch the Chrome Extension when you're on a page which contains a person's info you want to import into Hub. AI Generated Email You can use AI to help generate emails and email templates within your pipelines. You will see a new tab called "AI Assistant" to the right side of your email. Make sure the "Purpose" is completed and click the "Generate" button to have AI re-create the email for you. The AI uses all your notes and past emails to customize your message.

Top answer:

If you have questions about Hub or unlocking functionality, please post a new question to the Hub Support channel.

Q. Is the information of Limited Partners entered into Decilehub visible only to me, or do others have access to it as well?

As the information of Limited Partners can be sensitive, I am wondering whether only writer (and team) can check.

This is a great question, and I understand your concern.  We have built Decile Hub to be entirely walled off between each of the accounts that have signed up.  What that means is the only people viewing your inserted data are the write...

Adding someone using the Chrome extension that is not an LP, Connector, or Recruit

When adding someone with the Chrome extension that isn't an LP, Connector, or Recruit (e.g. an Entrepreneur, PC executive, etc.), what is the easiest way to insert them directly into the general Directory so they show up in the "People" database?  When using the Chrome extension, you must choose a "Pipeline" to import the contact into. I am logging deals and want to use the extension to add the entrepreneurs from the deals I'm reviewing directly into the "People"  database since they don't fit into the other database categories.  Thanks.

How does DecileHub handle currency fluctuations for international investments?

For a fund with international investments, does DecileHub track differences in currency? Or is the best practice to simply keep all investments denominated in one currency?

Top answer:

Typically funds invest in one currency and it's usually USD. This is because many companies with the ambition to become venture scale, usually move their HQ to a major domicile such as Delaware. VCs tend to standardize their currency for...

How do I link to a file in an email template? The instructions for folder / files says you can link to files, but in the panel I only see folders

“Files refer to the links or variables that can be added to the body of the email. These links or variables direct the recipient to specific files or data rooms when clicked. Data rooms are essentially folders where you can store and share files with custom permissions. The links to these data rooms or specific files within them can be embedded in the email templates and sent to recipients, providing them direct access to the shared content.” But in my panel I just see this: [image.png] I have files in Core Distruption Fund Sales Assets but I  cannot see any way to get a link to them. If I copy the Link from the Files section then I just have a link, not a variable.

Top answer:

We are reworking this system to make it better, however, there is a workaround in the meantime that provides direct access to files through a variable to your pipeline prospects.  1. go to your folders, let's use Sample-Capital-DataRoom,...

How can I have an external user upload files to a dataroom

How can I have an external user upload files to a dataroom? If this is not currently a feature it should be seriously considered for a near future enhancement. I've heard Adeo talk about the enhanced security of other Decile Hub features that replaced the need to send email. Uploading files to a deal room should be in that same category considering that sensitive information for due diligence will need to be sent to funds via email until this feature is implemented.

Top answer:

Currently, external users cannot directly upload files to a Decile Hub data room. If you need an external user to contribute a file, they would need to send it to an internal user who could then upload it to the Data Room. However, your ...

Submitting a fix recommendation

In the deal emails management, you have the "1.b.2. Inbound inquiry added" template. By default it is set to send this email to the Pipeline Prospect, which is absolutely wrong. I changed it manually to "Account Owner", but before that it sent this email to the guy that submitted the inbound offer. The language of this email suggests that it was meant to notify the VC and not the founder.

Top answer:

Update: The email template you're referencing was part of the previous iteration of the Deals pipeline. Thanks for raising the issue, apologies for the misconfiguration. This particular problem will no longer be an issue for newly create...
