Find object ID

jbiddle — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 06:56:10 GMT

Hi there,

I've created a few different custom objects, which is great. But now I want to delete a custom object (as I created a more suitable one). It's not as straight forward to delete one.

Firstly - where do I find the object ID? Just for reference, I'm a marketer which limited code exposure, so I followed the steps in this video to originally create the object: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egYJL4Axohg

Thanks

@jbiddle The simplest way to get the object ID for a custom object will be to look at the url when you are in your hubspot portal when looking the object dashboard. The Object ID will always be the number that starts with "2-"

For example, in the url: https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/5555555/objects/2-1234567/views/all/list
The object ID would be "2-1234567"

A note for deleting objects. Assuming you doing it in postman or some other API Platform, would need to delete, and then if you want to replace it at a future point, you will need to delete again with the "archive=true" query.

For example:
First delete(archives the object): https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/schemas/2-1234567?hapikey=API_KEY
Second delete(permenantly deletes object): https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/schemas/2-1234567?hapikey=API_KEY&archived=true

Another note is that the object must be completely empty to be deleted.

Hope this help!
