Cleaning up contact properties

bdesilva — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 19:08:36 GMT

We have many custom properties that I'd like to get rid of. I can pull all my contact properties pretty easily but I cannot ID for sure which are custom and which are Hubspot created/default. Please advise which contact property will tell me.

Thanks.

Hi,

As an example, if you're pulling all of the contact properties(https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/v2/get_contacts_properties) in a portal, there returned JSON should have a field called "hubspotDefined". Typically, it is set to null if it is a custom created property. If it is a HubSpot default property, we should see HubSpot as its value.

Nice solution, @hot_z.

@bdesilva, if you're ever not sure about a property, you can also consult this resource, which lists all default contact properties.
