Settings
| Field | Meaning | Area |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Choices: Search contacts, Read contact, Create contact, Create or update contact by email, Update contact | Standard |
| Search term | Searches across email, first/last name, company name and phone number. Empty = all contacts (up to the count below). | Standard |
| Count (max. 100) | Maximum number of contacts per call. HubSpot returns fewer if your account has fewer contacts (e.g. just the sample contacts). | Standard |
| Contact ID | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard | |
| First name | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| Last name | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| More fields | More HubSpot fields as field → value. E.g. phone, company, jobtitle. | Standard |
| Run once per item | Off (default): the node runs once for the whole input. On: if it receives several items (e.g. from Split Out), it runs once PER item, and {{ $json }} is that one item each time. This is how you work through a file list entry by entry. | Standard |
| If one item fails | "Skip" writes an `error` field for the failed item and keeps processing the rest, instead of losing the whole run to a single unreadable file. | Standard |
| Pause between items (milliseconds) | Wait before every run except the first. 1000 = 1 second per item. Useful when the other side would otherwise throttle you. Maximum 300000 (5 minutes). | Standard |
Inputs and outputs
| Input | Meaning | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Receives the complete result from the previous step. | JSON |
| Output | Meaning | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Makes the result available to the next step as JSON. | JSON |
This node can process lists item by item. Error handling and the delay between items are available in advanced settings.
Example and test run
Create a new lead from a webhook: begin with a small, recognizable record. Inspect the output and only map fields that are present there.
Test-run example
{
"email": "lisa@example.com",
"firstname": "Lisa",
"lastname": "Müller"
}Access and security
This node uses a connected hubspot account. Review the requested permissions and grant only the required access.
Store keys and credentials in the protected connection manager. Never paste them into normal workflow fields, test data or descriptions.
Troubleshooting
- No output: inspect the latest run and confirm that the previous node returned the expected fields.
- Empty variable: open the previous step output and use a field name from the real test data.
- Connection rejected: reconnect the service and grant the permissions required by this step.
- List processed once: enable per-item execution in advanced settings.
