Why can't you delete company records in a workflow like you can with contact records?

Why can’t I delete company records in workflows, but I am able to delete contact records in workflows?

Now I am automatically deleting spam contacts, but their linked companies remain in my CRM… this is very annoying. I need the option to delete enrolled company records in workflows as well, the same way you delete enrolled contact records in contact workflows.

Any ideas on how to achieve this without the actual feature? Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @OTREK,

As of now, I would set up your HubSpot workflow so that it sets a flag on the associated company before deleting the contact - so that you can easily filter companies with 0 associated contacts and that flag for regular bulk deletion.

If you want to solve this automatically, it would currently have to be through a custom code action (in Data Hub Professional or Enterprise).

Other users have however requested this before in the ideas section of the community: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Delete-companies-by-workflow/idi-p/1161380

The product team reviews these requests based on popularity, so I’d recommend commenting and upvoting. You can also help others find the request more easily (and drive traction) by accepting my reply as a solution. I’d appreciate it, too.

Have a great day!

Alright thanks, I have Upvoted that community post. This feature is important, and not sure why it’s not developed yet if it already exists for contacts…
