Create a batch of records

Notes

This function allows you to create a batch of contacts as a serverless function in CMS Enterprise. 

You'll need to send the data from the front end of your application/site. This specific code assumes that you're doing so in a payload very similar to how the HubSpot API expects it. If that's not the case, you'll want to add a function to transform the payload before triggering the axios. 

Code

        
Language:  JavaScript


        
 
const axios = require('axios');
const accessToken = `Bearer 1234`; // Make sure you're using secrets to populate this variable
 

exports.main = (context, sendResponse) => {
let objectType = "contact";
  const url = `https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/${objectType}/batch/create`;
  const headers = {
    'Authorization': accessToken,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  };
 
  const inputData = context.body.inputs; // Extract the inputs array from the received data
  const formattedData = { inputs: [] }; // Initialize an empty object with inputs property
 
  // Iterate over each input object and format it as required
 
// If your front-end isn't sending fully structured data, you might need to do additional processing with this.
// You will want to adjust this for loop to handle the properties of your records 
  for (const input of inputData) {
    const formattedInput = {
      properties: {
        email: input.email,
        firstname: input.firstname,
        lastname: input.lastname
      }
    };
    formattedData.inputs.push(formattedInput); // Push the formatted input to the new array
  }
 
  axios.post(url, formattedData, { headers })
    .then(response => {
      console.log('Batch create successful');
      sendResponse({ body: response.data, statusCode: 200 });
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.log('Batch create error');
 
 // You will want more sophisticated error handling here
      sendResponse({ body: error.message, statusCode: 400 });
    });
};
