Hello,

We are planning to implement CRM sync and are trying to understand how to handle LinkedIn data deletion when a data subject is deleted in HubSpot.

Simply unsyncing the CRM sync doesn’t seem to be a viable solution, as it appears to stop updates rather than delete the data in LinkedIn. We need a process that ensures data is properly deleted from LinkedIn when a record is removed from HubSpot.

Could you please provide guidance on the recommended approach for this scenario?

Greetings @06401,

You’re correct, unsync won’t delete the data back in linkedin which is transferred to HubSpot.

In this scenario a viable option would be to use API from linkedin to send a deletion request, after mapping the contact’s identifier which is deleted in hubspot with the corresponding data in LinkedIn.

Hope it helps, Happy Hubspotting.

Thanks & Regards,

Dilshad Shaikh
