Contact Updated

Start a workflow whenever a contact record changes in HubSpot. It appears as Contact Updated in the workflow builder.

What It Does

Watches your connected HubSpot workspace and fires when an existing contact record is updated, giving the workflow a reference to that contact plus the property that changed.

When It Fires

Fires when a contact is updated. Leave the property filter empty to fire on any property change, or narrow it to a single property so the workflow only runs when that specific field changes.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Property Name	Enter a HubSpot property name to only trigger when that property is updated. If left blank, all property changes trigger the workflow.

Outputs

The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.

Variable	Type	Description	Example
`contact`	`object`	A reference to the contact that was updated in AskElephant	`{{nodeId.contact}}`
`contact.id`	`string`		`{{nodeId.contact.id}}`
`hubspotContactId`	`string`		`{{nodeId.hubspotContactId}}`
`contactFirstName`	`string`		`{{nodeId.contactFirstName}}`
`contactLastName`	`string`		`{{nodeId.contactLastName}}`
`contactEmail`	`string`		`{{nodeId.contactEmail}}`
`propertyName`	`string`		`{{nodeId.propertyName}}`
`propertyValue`	`string`		`{{nodeId.propertyValue}}`

Example Workflow

Watch for changes to a contact's lifecycle stage property, then update a linked record and notify the assigned rep when a contact becomes a marketing qualified lead.
