Workflow for clearing Deal and Contact owner

[SBesliu]

Hi, 

I would like to create a workflow to clear the contact and deal owner once the Hubspot account of a user is deleted. I wanted to ask if its possible ?

Thank you!

Hi @karstenkoehler thanks for this can I use the API to post new names to the list and trigger the workflow?

Is there any API endpoint that can clear the deal owner and contact owner ?

Hi @SBesliu,

Yes, this can be done but you have to specifically select these inactive owners in those workflows:

(When users are deleted, their record owner is still known. They can't be distinguished from actual owners. HubSpot doesn't have a checkbox "all inactive owners". You need to select them all manually.)

Using the "Clear property value" action you can then clear the owners.

Best regards!
