I’m trying to send select dropdown data to Hubspot via the contact API. For whatever reason, the dropdown select field isn’t being updated.
This is what I’m doing

<?php

function update_member_hubspot( $post_type, $post_id, $old_data, $new_data ) {

$hapikey = "12345";

		$arr = array(
			'properties' => array(

				array(
					'property' => 'business_state',
 //how to update the select dropdown???
					//'options' => array('value' => $new_data["state"]) ????
 //'value' => $new_data["state"]) ????
				)

			)
		);
	//}

	$post_json = json_encode($arr);

	//$endpoint = "https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/email/" . $_GET["email"] . "/profile?hapikey=" . $hapikey;
	$endpoint = "https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/email/" . $new_data["primary_contact_email"] . "/profile?hapikey=" . $hapikey;
	$ch = @curl_init();
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_json);
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $endpoint);
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
	$response = @curl_exec($ch);
	$status_code = @curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
	$curl_errors = curl_error($ch);
	@curl_close($ch);
	$arr = array('curl_errors' => $curl_errors, 'status_code' => $status_code, 'response' => $response);
	/*echo "curl Errors: " . $curl_errors;
	echo "\nStatus code: " . $status_code;
	echo "\nResponse: " . $response;*/
	echo json_encode($arr);
}
add_action( 'crm_post_update_hubspot', 'update_member_hubspot', 10, 4 );

@KevinWilliams ,

Check out the newer Contacts API. If you go to the endpoints tab, you will see examples which include PHP code.

EG:

<?php
use HubSpot\Factory;
use HubSpot\Client\Crm\Contacts\ApiException;

$client = Factory::createWithApiKey("YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY");

$properties = [
 "company" => "Biglytics",
 "email" => "bcooper@biglytics.net",
 "firstname" => "Bryan",
 "lastname" => "Cooper",
 "phone" => "(877) 929-0687",
 "website" => "biglytics.net"
];
$SimplePublicObjectInput = new SimplePublicObjectInput(['properties' => $properties]);
try {
 $apiResponse = $client->crm()->contacts()->basicApi()->update("contactId", $SimplePublicObjectInput);
 var_dump($apiResponse);
} catch (ApiException $e) {
 echo "Exception when calling basic_api->update: ", $e->getMessage();
}

For your dropdown, make sure you are using the internal value of the option and not the label
