I would like to use the latest source/drill down properties for detecting whether or not an update to a contact record was done by my own integration or not, to avoid circular updates back and forth. I came across this article, and it is recent so this looks to be a new feature: Understand Original and Latest traffic source properties. Through testing I noticed that the latest source/drill down 1 values do not update to Offline Sources/API > contacts-upsert as it seems they should be according to that document. Since this is a new feature, maybe this is a bug report. I am aware that one option could be to pull individual contact records using propertiesWithHistory, but it would be much more streamlined to have the latest source/drill down property update and be available in the way described in that article.
Hey, @JustinDowty 
I am not 100% sure, and I’d love to try to get us more information. Can you provide any additional details about the following:
- the specific endpoint you are using
- an example or sample request and response
- any additional context
Thank you! — Jaycee
Hi Jaycee,
Here would be a basic example. Using a Private App token, I can update a contact record using the PATCH /crm/v3/objects/contacts/{contactId} endpoint. A sample payload for updating the city property of the contact:
{
"properties": {
"city": "Grand Rapids"
}
}
This will update the city property for that contact. This works fine, however the Latest Source, Latest Source Date, and Latest Source Drill-Down 1 properties do not update. When I check the contact record after updating the record with the above call, you can see these properties not changing, where I would expect Latest Source to be Offline Sources, and Latest Source Drill-Down 1 to be API, per this Understand Original and Latest traffic source properties.
Even My latest souce values are set to orignal source value. And after updating them using integration doesn’t change the latest source time.
Couldn’t make it work either. Here is what I’ve tried:
- make sure I’m updating fields that are not automatically updated by Hubspot HubSpot's default contact properties
- go to the properties settings and find the property slug from the URL: e.g. hs_latest_source and hs_latest_source_data_1
How did you solve this? I am facing the same now.
Was there a resolution to this?
