Hi all,
My company just procured Ops Hub, and I’d like to use the Custom Code step to automatically delete companies where salesforcedeleted = TRUE.
The problem is I have no idea where to begin with the custom code step! Can someone please help me draft the snippet that would accomplish this task?
Thank you!
Hi @JJensen_Aurora,
Congratulations on acquiring the Operations Hub 
and thank you for reaching out to the Community!
I’d like to ask some of our Community Members who used custom code: Hi @jjones41, @Sawdog and @asgJim did you end up using custom code? If yes, could you please share some insights with @JJensen_Aurora, please?
I’d like to also invite some of our top experts on this subject: Hello @louischausse, @Teun and @ChrisoKlepke do you have suggestions to help @JJensen_Aurora, please?
If anybody else has anything to add and/or share, please feel free to join in the conversation 
Thank you very much 
and have a wonderful day!
Best,
Bérangère
Hi @JJensen_Aurora
Here’s how to do it using NodeJS
1 - Create a private app with the scope “crm.objects.companies.write”: Legacy private apps - HubSpot docs
2 - Create a company-based workflow with the triggers to meet salesforcedeleted = TRUE and add a “custom coded action” where you want the company to be deleted
3 - Create a secret with the token of the private app you created at step 1: Workflows | Custom Code Actions - HubSpot docs.
In the code below the name of the secret is OPS_TOKEN but you can name it whatever you want, but if you do name it differently you will need to match it in the code.
4 - Select your secret:
5 - Select record if in the inputs:
6 - Replace the code with this code:
const hubspot = require('@hubspot/api-client');
exports.main = async (event) => {
const token = process.env.OPS_TOKEN
const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({"accessToken":token});
const companyId = event.inputFields['hs_object_id'];
try {
const apiResponse = await hubspotClient.crm.companies.basicApi.archive(companyId);
console.log(JSON.stringify(apiResponse, null, 2));
} catch (e) {
e.message === 'HTTP request failed'
? console.error(JSON.stringify(e.response, null, 2))
: console.error(e)
}
}
7 - Save and Ta-dam!

Wow amazing Louis thank you so much!!
Not only for the solution but also answering in a way that helps me understand the moving pieces here, for the next time I need to create a custom code action.
I did hit some rate-limiting errors with the initial enrollment of companies, but removing the try/catch clause based on this thread’s advice resolved that quite easily.
Thanks again!
Oh sorry. You’re right I didn’t take into account that you would have many records to enroll at first. I’m glad you figured it out.
