Resolving Duplicate Contacts in Clay List Sync to HubSpot

Hey! 🙂 How have people gone about solving dupes found in Clay lists when syncing to hubspot. For example ive created a new campaign, 1.5k contacts are new and synced to hubspot, but i get error messages for the remaining 500 cause they already exist. The error gives the unique ID which i could use to update the contact via the hubspot integration, but i cant seem to extract the unique ID from the error message..

Unfortunately, Clay doesn't have a built-in feature to automatically extract unique IDs from error messages when syncing contacts to HubSpot. However, we can suggest a workaround: 1. Use the "Lookup Contact with HubSpot" action in Clay before syncing. 2. This action can find existing contacts using their email address. 3. If a contact exists, it will return the HubSpot Contact ID. 4. Use this ID in the "Create or Update Contact with HubSpot" action to update existing contacts. This approach helps prevent duplicates and allows you to update existing contacts efficiently. If you need more assistance, please ask to talk to a person in this chat.
