How to set dropdown select custom property on contact via API

NAhmed4 — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 14:18:39 GMT

Im using this endpoint to create a contact

{

"property": "lastname",

"value": "myemail"

{

"property": "drop_down_property",

"value": "Public "

}]

This doesnt set the value for the drop_down_property

The property exists on the contact but how do i set its value

Hey, @NAhmed4 👋 Thanks for reaching out. Here are examples using the v1 and v3 versions of this endpoint.

Steps taken for both:

My request URL and body
POST https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/vid/901/profile { "properties": [ { "property": "new_mexico_chile", "value": "Green" } ] }
I received a 204 No Content response which indicates a successful update
From the documentation — “Response details – Returns a 204 with no response body when a contact is updated successfully.”

For the v3 version — Update a Contact:

Update a contact — PATCH/crm/v3/objects/contacts/{contactId}
Request
curl --request PATCH \ --url https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/901 \ --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{ "properties": { "new_mexico_chile": "Red" } }'
Response
HTTP 200 { "id": "901", "properties": { "createdate": "2022-11-03T21:42:31.255Z", "hs_lifecyclestage_lead_date": "2022-11-03T21:42:31.255Z", "hs_pipeline": "contacts-lifecycle-pipeline", "lastmodifieddate": "2022-12-14T20:30:50.877Z", "lifecyclestage": "lead", "new_mexico_chile": "Red" }, "createdAt": "2022-11-03T21:42:31.255Z", "updatedAt": "2022-12-14T20:30:50.877Z", "archived": false }

Have fun building! — Jaycee

Hi Jaycee, how would you do that for multiple values? e.g. you want red and green to be selected

I've figured it out - just separate the values with a semicolon
