Hi,

If I send an email through Hubspot and it bounces back, does Hubspot delete that email or does that need to be done manually?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ethan

Hi @EPitzaferro,

HubSpot will not automatically delete that contact but it will automatically populate the property [_Email hard bounce reason_](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/email/what-is-the-difference-between-a-hard-bounce-and-a-soft-bounce). If that property has a value, the contact has previously bounced. You could create an active contact-based list and filter for contacts by “_Email hard bounce reason_ is known” to find them all.

Best regards!

Hi @EPitzaferro,  
No, hubspot does not automatically delete the email. It gives you the notificiation about the email deliveribility and itselves fill the hard email hard bounce reason property: [Screenshot by Lightshot](https://prnt.sc/1b1cbbz)
