Delete HubSpot record

Notes

Deleting a record might seem a little extreme but it's often necessary. This code snippet is a quick and easy way to handle that. 

We'll often use this if we intend to replace a single record with two records. For example, if a husband and wife have been using a shared email address and we now have unique email addresses for both. Or if a custom object representing a timeslot needs to be turned into two timeslots now that someone has booked a slot in the middle. 

Code

        
Language:  JavaScript


        
 
const axios = require('axios');
const accessToken = process.env.secretName;
 
exports.main = async (event) => 
 let objectType = "contact";
 let objectId = "1234";   // You'll want to dynamically identify this value
 
    const headers = {
     'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
     'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   };
 
        const deleteUrl = `https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/${objectType}/${objectId}`;
        
 
        axios.delete(deleteUrl, { headers: headers })
          .then(deleteResponse => {
          console.log('Delete Response:', deleteResponse.data);
        })
          .catch(deleteError => {
          console.error('Delete Error:', deleteError);
        });
      }
    }
};
