Hi, [@TitiCuisset](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/89150) thank you for tagging me in. 🙂

So @MOrlov, the issue is properties, in which you are trying to send values on HubSpot are not present there. First, you have to create them then after you can send values in those properties, you need to create the following properties:

- sourceid
- clicked
- so
- affid

I hope this helps you. 🙂

Best Regards,
