Update Contact

Update a single property on one or more HubSpot contacts by directly setting its name and value.

Update Contact node in the workflow builder

What It Does

Sets one property on the HubSpot contacts you choose to the exact value you provide.

When To Use It

Use this when you already know the exact property and value to write. AskElephant recommends Update Contact V2 instead: it uses a linked meeting and AI instructions to determine the value automatically, and adds an append or replace method with an optional confirmation step. Use this node only when you need a direct, literal property write with no AI involved.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field

What it controls

Contacts

The HubSpot contacts to update. Supports multiple contacts. Required.

Property Name

The internal name of the property to update. Required.

Property Value

The exact value to write to that property. Required.

Outputs

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

This node does not emit output variables.

Example Workflow

A workflow checks a form submission and, when a condition is met, uses this node to set a contact's lead_status property to a specific value.

  • Update Contact V2

  • Add Note to Contacts
