Hello 🙂

Will HubSpot show me the contact who interacted with the ad, but isn’t currently marked as a marketing contact? Do I need to have them only in HubSpot lists, or do I need them to be marketing contacts so I can see all of the interactions?  
Thank you,  
Best

Hi @mila10,

The marketing contact status does not affect what you’re seeing in HubSpot – it’s only relevant for sending marketing emails to contacts. In short, if it’s not a marketing contact, you can’t send a marketing email. For other features like ads or list building, it doesn’t have any effect.

Best regards!
