we are integtrated with Hubspot and we are pulling contact lists and then contacts when user select one list.  
Ours clients are creating new lists and when we call your api to get the lists, newlly created lists are not included in the response immediately

can you tell me why there is delay until newly created lists apear, and how long could it be

Thanks

Hi @ton

I can confirm that there is a minor delay between lists being created by the UI and being available to fetch via the API. However, this is a very minor delay.

Could you shed some light on the length of the delays you’re experiencing currnetly as depending on the length of the delay, this could be something different.
