hs_meeting_external_URL link has more than 100 characters

SOLVE

I want to save google calendar event link as hs_meeting_external_URL when creating a meeting event through Engagement API and I get following error:

Invalid input JSON on line 1, column 695: Names for properties should be lowercase and have less than 100 characters. Invalid names: [hs_meeting_external_URL]'

 

google calendar event link obviously has more than 100 characters and I can not do anything about it. it seems not logical to set this restriction of 100 characters.

Hi @KPun8 👋

Thank you for bringing up this question—it’s a great point, and I completely understand your frustration. Sometimes, certain limitations in HubSpot, like this 100-character restriction, don’t always seem logical. It’s important to get this in front of the right people to hopefully address or clarify the issue.

Here’s what I recommend doing next:

  1. RePost in the Developers Group:

    • This question is better suited for the HubSpot Developers Group. By posting it there, you’ll likely get insights from developers who have encountered similar issues and may have potential workarounds.
  2. Join the HubSpot Developers Slack Channel:

    • I recommend joining the HubSpot Developers Slack Channel as well. It’s a great community to get real-time feedback and support from HubSpot developers.
  3. Check Out Sprocketeer (Third-Party) Channel:

    • The Sprocketeer community (a third-party HubSpot resource) is also worth exploring. They often offer creative solutions to platform limitations like this one.
  4. Raise a Support Ticket (for Pro/Enterprise users):

    • If you're on a Pro or Enterprise Hub, raising a support ticket is another great option. The HubSpot support team can give you an official answer, and confirm whether this is a permanent limitation or something that can be adjusted.
  5. Submit it as an Idea:

    • Once you get confirmation, if it turns out this limitation is by design, I recommend submitting it as an idea in the HubSpot community. This way, it’s brought to the product team’s attention for potential future updates.

Stay Awesome & Keep Doing it BIG 🔥 

Thanks again for sharing this, and I hope these steps help you get the answers you need! 👍
