Issue with Creating New Contact in HubSpot Due to ID Error

hey support team- I'm not sure what is happening here. I have a create object to create a new contact in Hubspot. The cell has run and the object was supposedly created- I receive an error that the ID already exists. However, there is no such contact in my CRM when I look up directly and the Lookup object does not work- returns no object.

Before creating new contacts in HubSpot, it's important to properly validate if the contact already exists to prevent duplicate entries. Here are a few key points to check: 1. Make sure you're using the correct identifier when looking up the contact. You can search using: • Email address • First and last name • Phone number • Contact ID 2. When creating a new contact, you need to provide either an email address or an existing HubSpot Contact ID as the primary identifier. 3. Double-check that you're using the right unique identifier (like email) to verify the contact's existence before attempting to create a new one. If you're using other identifiers like LinkedIn profile or Name + Company, make sure these are also being checked correctly.If you're still experiencing issues after verifying these points, please ask for human support to help investigate the specific error you're encountering.

I did find the record in hubspot by looking up the ID, so an object was created
