Update companies V3

Developer Support APIs & Integrations

Hello,

I have recently noticed that when you try to update a “single line text” property with “null”, it will not clear the property. Is this intended? Currently the way to reset the property would be doing the following:

{
 "properties": {
 "subscription": ""
 }
}

Example:

Url: https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies/xxx?hapikey=xxx

Payload:

{
 "properties": {
 "subscription": null
 }
}

Expected: The property “subscription” is set to an empty property

Hi @CRedmon!
Yes, that is exactly how HubSpot’s API works. When you want to clear some property you should define as a blank value, like this: “”

Best,

Hi @CRedmon ,
You can use below code for update empty property :
$data = ‘{
“properties”: {
“subscription”: “”
}
}’;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, ‘https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies/?hapikey=YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY’);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, ‘PATCH’);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$headers = array();
$headers[] = ‘Content-Type: application/json’;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo ‘Error:’ . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);

Hope this helps!
