Change the created date of contacts

SOLVE

Hello together,

we did import contacts and companies which where last month generated by an external tool. Is there any way we can change the time stamp of the creation date to last month? 

 

Best,

Jan

Change the created date of contacts

SOLVE

Hi @janquast

When dealing with HubSpot date properties, some cannot be modified/updated because they are automatically set by Hubspot. This would include properties like createdate or lastmodifieddate.  For additional insight, this article lists the definitions of all default contact properties.

 have the same challenge... contacts might be imported many times and i want one specific workflow to trigger any time a contact is imported - no matter if it was already in the system

Hey @RafaelCm -- thanks for your comment here. I might recommend using the 'Latest Source Drill down 1' contact property for this. You can define that this value should be set to IMPORT and it should be set any time that contact is included in an import. 

 

That said, this thread is a bit older and not exactly the same issue, so feel free to create a new thread to get more current insight from other community members!

Hello Mika, thank you for teh answer. Is there a possibility to maybe delete the contacts and companies, and to upload them new with an individual date created?
