Get Communications by Time Range

Pull HubSpot communications that happened around a specific meeting time, so a workflow has that context available.

What It Does

Searches HubSpot for communications tied to a contact, company, or deal within a window before and after a given meeting time, optionally filtered by channel.

When To Use It

Use this before or during a workflow that needs recent context on a customer, such as pulling recent emails or calls that happened around a meeting so an AI step can reference them.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Object Type	The type of HubSpot object to search: `contact`, `company`, or `deal`. Required.
Object ID	The HubSpot ID of that object. Required.
Days Before Meeting	How many days before the meeting to search. Defaults to `7`.
Days After Meeting	How many days after the meeting to search. Defaults to `3`.
Meeting Date	The ISO timestamp of the meeting to search around. Required.
Channel Types	Optional filter to limit results to specific channels.

Outputs

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

Variable	Type	Description	Example
`communications`	`array<unknown>`	Array of communications in time range	`{{nodeId.communications}}`
`count`	`number`	Number of communications found	`{{nodeId.count}}`

Example Workflow

Before drafting a follow-up email, a workflow uses this node to pull any communications from the week before and after a meeting, so the AI step can reference recent context when writing the follow-up.
