Hi Guys,

I’m developing an integration with HubSpot, but I can’t find any information on how to set up a Contact Owner via create\_contact API Call.

Could anyone help me with this?

Hi [@BrodrickChilds](https://community.hubspot.com/u/brodrickchilds),

You can set a contact’s owner by setting the `hubspot_owner_id` property to the ID of the HubSpot owner you’re assigning the contact to. You can get a list of existing owners using the Owners API:

![]() [developers.hubspot.com](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/owners/get_owners)

### [Get Owners | Owners API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/owners/get_owners)

GET /owners/v2/owners/ - Get a list of owners from the HubSpot API.
