This document outlines the functionality and characteristics of the HubSpot Contact Updater node, which enables automated contact updates in HubSpot CRM.

​
Node Inputs

Required Fields

​
Dynamic Inputs

Connect your node outputs to any contact property you wish to update. Properties are populated based on your HubSpot configuration.

​
Available Properties

The Hubspot Contact Updater node displays properties that can be updated based on your existing contact data. Important notes about property visibility:
  • Only properties that already have values across multiple existing contacts will appear in the node’s input fields. The node samples a random set of contacts to determine which properties to display.
    • This helps keep the node focused by only showing actively used properties.
  • New properties with no existing values across contacts will not appear automatically.

​
Node Output

Success/failure status of the update operation.

When To Use

The HubSpot Contact Updater node is valuable for contact maintenance. Common use cases include:
