When updating contacts, if you are matching on email address, you must be sure NOT to pass in a blank email address. HubSpot will not know which contact to update and will update a random contact with incorrect data. You can either exclude blank emails from your origin or check the "Skip if Blank" checkbox on the email address field. I prefer to do both. | When updating contacts, if you are matching on email address, you must be sure NOT to pass in a blank email address.

Date Fields
While the HubSpot API documentation states that you should pass Dates to the HubSpot API in Unix format, https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/faq/how-should-timestamps-be-formatted-for-hubspots-apis, the Starfish HubSpot connector will do this conversion for you. You do need to be sure to pass that date in a specific format and at midnight. See the following examples.
Using API v3, for a date only field, you need to explicitly set the date to midnight UTC. VBScript:
Function ScriptedField
ScriptedField=FormatDate("@@ORG:date_entered@@", "yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z")
End Function
C#:
object ScriptedField()
{
string strDte = ConvertObj2String(Starfish.OriginData["INVOICE_SENT_DATE_C"]);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strDte))
{
DateTime dte = Convert.ToDateTime(strDte);
strDte = dte.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00Z");
}
return strDte;
}
See [Scripting] for ConvertObj2String.
Updating Contacts
When updating contacts, if you are matching on email address, you must be sure NOT to pass in a blank email address. HubSpot will not know which contact to update and will update a random contact with incorrect data. You can either exclude blank emails from your origin or check the "Skip if Blank" checkbox on the email address field. I prefer to do both.
