How do add new data in option select property use to api?

byersoy — Mon, 06 May 2019 12:21:23 GMT

I want to add a new option but I need to do this using api.

https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/v2/update_contact_property at don't add a new option.

Hey @byersoy , are you referring to adding a new option to an enumeration type property? If so, you are looking at the correct documentation https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/v2/update_contact_property - to update your enumeration property with a new option, you need to include all of the existing options and your new option in the request payload.

You can get the existing options in the enumeration property by using this GET request https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/companies/get_contact_property.

Hey @byersoy , the error 405 Method Not Allowed typically refers to the HTTP method used to call the endpoint. If you are attempting to use this endpoint https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/companies/get_contact_property can you confirm if you are using the GET method?

Yes @JasminLin i use get method 😞

Can you send a sample with Postman if you ask?

@byersoy Just to clarify, if you are using this endpoint https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/v2/update_contact_property the method should be PUT, but if you are using this endpoint https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/companies/get_contact_property the method should be GET.

If you are still facing issues despite using the correct method for the endpoint, could you direct message me the following:

A full screenshot of your Postman app where you attempted the endpoint
The API endpoint URL you are calling
The method you are using
The request body you are sending (for the PUT request)

No problem @byersoy . To update a enumeration property, which is a property with options, you need to include in your request payload all of your existing options + the new option you want to add. If you only include the new option in your request payload, it will overwrite all of your existing options with only that new option you sent.

Hi;

Do you know if we include all the options + the new option in the payload, do the existing options remain the same (keeps contact values for the previously filled property)? For example, if contact "A" in the "car" property had the value "volvo" checked, and I add "Opel" to the "car options" through the API and include "volvo" in the payload, will the value on contact "A" be affected?

Hi @DiogoMC

You prepend the value with a semi-colon to add a values, keeping the original value.

Assuming you have a multiselect checkbox with the options available:

Marketing Hub <marketing_hub>
Sales Hub <sales_hub>
Service Hub <service_hub>
CMS Hub <cms_hub>

For this example asssume Marketing Hub is already Selected

This adds to the current selection because the semicolon at the start so the field now has Marketing Hub, Sales Hub and Service Hub.

;sales_hub;service_hub

This clears Marketing Hub (because there's no semicolon at the start) and sets Sales Hub and Service Hub.

sales_hub;service_hub

You can NOT set Ops Hub <ops_hub> because the value isn't available in the Property (the API will throw an error).

Did that answer your question?
