Industry field mapping from Apollo to HubSpot

Hi Everyone,

I am running into an issue when pushing data from Apollo to HubSpot, and the issue appears to be with the formatting of the industry drop down field.

For example:

Marketing and Advertising vs Marketing & Advertising

Information Technology and Services vs. Information Technology & Services.

2024-02-06 7:38 pm - Apollo attempted to push this record to your CRM but failed:

  • Error Message: Property values were not valid :- industry:information technology & services was not one of the allowed options

So added it to HubSpot and received the same error after adding to Hubspot but it is now showing as one of the options in the list:

label: “Information Technology & Services” value: “Information Technology & Services” display_order: 64 hidden: false read_only: false ,

label: “Information Technology and Services” value: “INFORMATION_TECHNOLOGY_AND_SERVICES” display_order: 65 hidden: false read_only: true

The one that was addesd shows read_only: false

The one that was in there shows read_only: true

Any thoughts on how to fix this? Most of the companies and contacts are in these 2 industries.

This is for the company field not the contact field.

@mlnativemsg
I assume you are referring to the “Industry” property for the company?
Do the internal values match exactly (not necessarily the labels?)
As an alternative you could create a new custom property “Apollo Industry”.
You could than complete either this new property or the default Industry property via a workflow with values from the other property.
Hope this helps!
