Create records action

AUTOMATICALLY POPULATE PROPERTIES WITH HUBSPOT INSIGHTS

HubSpot attempts to automatically populate some properties with HubSpot Insights (opens new window) if you provide a company's website domain name. Refer to the HubSpot documentation to learn how to disable HubSpot Insights (opens new window).

Input fields

You must select the object you plan to create before you can configure these actions. Workato populates the object's associated properties automatically after you select it. Be sure to populate required fields to prevent errors when attempting to create the record or records.

CONTACT OWNER

If you select the Contact object as your record to create, ensure that you also select crm.objects.owners.read during connection setup. This enables you to access the values in the Contact owner list input field.

Output fields

Workato returns an object representing each created record, enabling you to use its datapills in subsequent steps of your recipe. The ID, Created at, Updated at and Archived datapills always contain a value. The remaining datapills contain information if the corresponding field contained information when created. Note that some fields may pass in default values, which are also returned.

Create engagement

This action creates an engagement, such as an email, call, meeting, task, or note, on an object in HubSpot. An engagement is useful for keeping your CRM records up-to-date with interactions that take place outside of HubSpot. Activity reporting in the CRM also feeds off of this data.
