Hi @johannes-m 👋

No problem at all, happy to help.

It’s not something I’ve tried before, but it might be worth exploring the use of “OBJECT\_PROPERTY” (within supportedValueTypes definition). As described within [HubSpot Developer documentation](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/automation/custom-workflow-actions):

_OBJECT\_PROPERTY\*\*:\*\* the user can select a property from the enrolled object **or an output from a previous action** to use as the value of the field._

If this doesn’t fit the bill, you might need to consider [HubSpot custom code workflow action](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/workflows/custom-code-actions), although this would be HubSpot Portal-specific (rather than supplied via an installed app).

I hope this proves useful. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
