Counter of selected options in a Multiple Checkbox Custom Property

[BrightNet_Admin]

Hi there.

Suppose that I have a custom property (Property 'A') with "multiple checkboxes". Is there a way to have another property (Property 'B') containing a counter of how many checkboxes are checked in Property 'A'?

Example:

Property A: classes attended

• Math -> checked
• Physics -> checked
• Chemistry-> NOT checked
• Literature -> NOT checked
• Philosophy -> checked 

Property B: number of classes attended

Value = 3

Thanks in advance!

Hi @BrightNet_Admin 

There are a few ways to do this:

a) set up a Workflow (requires Marketing Pro) to check each Option in Property A. If an Option is set (e.g. Math) then increment Property B. It's a good idea to set Property B to zero at the start of the workflow.

b) add some Javascript to the page where the Contact fills in the form. Whenever the Muli-checkbox changes count the courses and set a hidden field (Property B) to the count. When the Contact submits the form the hidden field would update in HubSpot.

c) create a HubSpot Integration that watches Property A for a change. The Integration would then call some code to update Property B based on Property A.

Each has pros & cons. They're in order of complexity (and budget).

Let me know if you need me to elaborate.
