</div>

our requiremnet is we have to craete a list first we willimport the contacts in that list after that when ever new user added , updated from our webappilcation ,this changes we want to post it to hubspot using api.

i have observed we can do this process for the list type manual or snapshot not for dynamic.

can u pls advise us what are the things we have to keep in mind when creating a list in hubspot so that we can do the following tasks

adding contacts to list using api

updating contact of a list using api

deleting contact from a list using api.

as per the api we have to first create a contact and need to send contact id to the list api along with list id, is this not possible at the time of creating contact send list id also?

Thank you.
