How to Create New Contacts in Hubspot Without Email Using Clay

·

Hello, I currently have a problem with the "Create or Update Data in Hubspot" functionality. It seems to require to enter an email or an Hubspot ID However, I would like to create new contacts (without email) in Hubspot I know it's possible because I've already done it on my side via API, but in Clay, it's impossible to do it Do you have a solution that would make this possible?

Yacin K., I took a quick look and it appears it should work if you map out a name instead. Let me know if you run into any issues!

But I did just test it out and it's not allowing it. I'll ask if we can change this so it's an option... In the meantime, here's a potential workaround if you'd like to try it out: https://www.loom.com/share/36f44498b7304749837c5268a94bd80c

It doesn't work because once I've entered a fake email, I can't delete it (so I fill my CRM with fake emails, which is a bit tricky..)

Yacin K., here's the video. So in this case, you just have to use the contact ID to then update the email with a valid one when you find it-> https://www.loom.com/share/5cd5dc709b95497bbda5b03cb09d0d6b
