Hi all,

I am trying to configure a webhook which will be triggered whenever a email is added to any of the contacts and I would like to fetch the contact ids and email ids only as properties. Is it possible to restrict the payload to only a subset of contact fields instead of fetching the entire contact information?

Hi @ravitej

I can confirm that at this moment in-time, it is not possible to manipulate the payload that is sent when a webhook is triggered.

This payload data is controlled by HubSpot directly.

Thanks!

Hi @ravitej,  
I am currently working on a custom app that allows you to subscribe to specific properties and chose properties that you want in the payload.  
The app will send the payload to any endpoint that you configure in it whenever subscribed property changes.  
This app will be available on HubSpot marketplace in next couple of months.  
Please get in touch if you want to get early bird access.
