Hey, @Karim0 👋 Object IDs (Deals, Contacts, Companies, etc.) are generated by HubSpot for each portal and are not customizable. You'll need to look a creating a custom property and generating + populating it yourself (via an import or using the API, for example) if you need to use something custom.

Best,

Jaycee

Thank you very much, Jaycee!

Can you help and tell me how to create that?
I want to create a custom property that generate a sequence ID that starts with specific letter and from certain number such as (X25010101) LETTER>YEAR>MONTH>DAY>NUMBER

Can we make the letter changes based on the deal type (such as Deal type: WATER starts with W, and Deal Type FIRE start with F)
Regards,

Karim

Hey, @Karim0 👋 I may not be able to give a complete solution, and I am happy to brainstorm with you. Questions:

• do you have an Operations Hub Professional subscription? This would provide us with access to custom coded workflow actions
• if not, do you have developer resources? I'm sure we could map out a simple app that could do the generation and submission to the corresponding Object API(s)

The issue I see is that we can create the custom property to “hold” these generated sequence IDs. But we need some way to generate them first.
