contact ID vs hs_object_id in Zapier

[Bmacuser]

Hi guys

I saw in Zapier 2 options to select from my contact property.

1. id

2. hs_object_id

Since both is the same number who knows the difference of both data fields for a contact?

Thanks

Hi @Bmacuser ,

Thank you for sharing your query in the HubSpot Community.

I wanted to tag in some subject matter experts: @lynton and @malcolm1 , would you be able to share some advice for @Bmacuser ?

Hey @Bmacuser,

I checked this with the internal team and we would suggest using the ID field.

This is because, hs_* field is something internal for Hubspot and there might be a possibility that it changed without any notice. Hence, using the ID field guarantee expected behavior.

Thanks Wendy for your feedback. I have updated all my zaps to the ID only. 

Have a great day
