Marketing contacts can only be set through the web at this time. It’ll be helpful if the API is built to set marketing contacts through mobile apps too!
This is needed. Without option to set contacts as marketings contacts it is quite useless for adding contacts since one also must use web client in addition.

I completely agree. When BD Managers are travelling, the HubSpot App is great for uploading new contacts quickly and easily, but without the option to set the contact as a marketing contact, we are not growing our mailing database/marketing hub. As not all contacts should be added as Marketing contacts, we cannot create a workflow which triggers all contacts created via HS to be ticked as Marketing contacts - this is a huge pain point for us!
inexcusable that this isn’t already in place. Such a stupidly simple thing that should be there. HubSpot, why are you wasting our time with a mobile app that doesn’t have basic functionality for adding contacts?
Yes, it’s problematic for a Sales team member to have the ability to add a new contact to our database while out in the field w/out having the ability to adust the contact’s details so we can email them what they’re interested in.
By only allowing this on desktop, it means a 2nd step needs to happen later and if forgotten results in not leveraging that contact - or it means that adding contacts in the field by scanning biz cards should be skipped and not utilized and have the process be to wait until back at computer.
In addition to marking as a marketing contact - being able to opt in for the Subscriptions they want on the go via app is needed - because if they are marked as a “marketing contact”, they still won’t get our emails we send unless they are subscribed…
