Troubleshooting

Examples

Updating a Company in HubSpot

We want to update a company entity in the HubSpot instance. This Pipeline demonstrates how we can use the HubSpot Update Snap to accomplish this task:

First, we use the JSON Generator Snap to create a JSON file containing the entity's updated details such as country, founded_year, and address. It is not necessary to use a JSON input, we can also use CSV (CSV Generator) and XML (XML Generator). Alternatively, we can use a File Reader Snap if we already have a file with the company's details and configure it to read the company details file. 

The screenshot below shows the output from the JSON Generator Snap:

We map the fields from the output shown above to the corresponding fields in HubSpot using the Mapper Snap. 

Upon execution, the JSON input file's fields are mapped to the HubSpot entity's fields as shown in the Mapper Snap's output below:

The above output is passed to the HubSpot Update Snap. The HubSpot Update Snap is configured with the Company entity and Update a company action.

Upon execution, the HubSpot Update Snap updates the company with the specified details as shown in the HubSpot Update Snap's output below:

Since we want to write this output into a local file for record-keeping, we use a combination of the JSON Formatter and File Writer Snaps downstream of the HubSpot Update Snap.  The screenshot below shows the configuration of the File Writer Snap:
