Deleted Rowslink

The HubSpot API doesn’t make deleted records available so Fivetran can’t mark deleted records in the destination warehouse. Deleted records will remain marked false where is_deleted or _fivetran_deleted columns exist except for the tables listed in the Update Frequency section below.

Sync Frequencylink

The HubSpot API does not offer a mechanism to capture deletes, so Fivetran infers deletes for the following tables:

• CONTACT_LIST and CONTACT_LIST_MEMBER tables are re-imported in full once a day
• DEAL_PIPELINE, DEAL_PIPELINE_STAGE, and FORM tables are synced incrementally in each sync

We compare the tables with their previous version and capture deletes using the _fivetran_deleted system column.

We mark the tables that we re-import in full as not recommended in the dashboard. We sync the tables once a day due to their non-incremental characteristics.

Sync Strategylink

If during a sync, we find that there are more than 10,000 updated records for the following endpoints, we re-import the associated source tables in full to capture all the changes:

• companies
• contacts
• deals
• engagements

For the above endpoints, we can either:

• retrieve the most recent 10,000 changes to the entities, or
• retrieve the entire dataset from an endpoint

Sync Strategy for Engagement tableslink

We do incremental syncs of the ENGAGEMENT and ENGAGEMENT_* tables according to the sync frequency you set in your Fivetran dashboard. We also do a full re-sync of these tables once a day because we noticed incomplete data when we performed incremental syncs alone.

Sync Strategy for Email Event tableslink

Once a day, we fetch data for the last 25 hours for all EMAIL_EVENT_* tables. We do this to capture events that might have been missed in the last sync because of HubSpot’s event processing delays.

HubSpot Developer Preview APIlink

We maintain the following tables using the HubSpot developer preview API, so there are sometimes structural changes in these tables. Fivetran automatically handles structural changes, which might lead to some schema breaking changes. If that happens, we need to re-sync the affected tables. You can read more in the HubSpot Developer Preview API documentation.

• LINE_ITEM
• LINE_ITEM_PROPERTY_HISTORY
• PRODUCT
• PRODUCT_PROPERTY_HISTORY

Negative Timestamps from HubSpotlink

We automatically convert negative timestamps received from HubSpot to EPOCH, for example, 1st January 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

Deal stage calculationslink

The HubSpot API returns only the date_entered value of the dealstage properties data. We sync this data to the DEAL_STAGE table.

Fivetran populates the date_entered value in the _fivetran_start column and sets the date_exited value in the _fivetran_end column. The date_exited value for a deal stage is the date_entered value of the next deal stage in chronological order.

You can calculate the time_in value as the difference between the _fivetran_start and _fivetran_end column values in the DEAL_STAGE table.

For example, in the DEAL_STAGE table:

• For deal_id 10 in deal stage 145:

  • date_entered_145 = _fivetran_start = 12:00
  • date_exited_145 = date_entered_157 = _fivetran_end = 13:00
  • time_in_145 = 1 hour (_fivetran_end - _fivetran_start)

• For deal_id 10 in deal stage 173:

  • date_entered_173 = _fivetran_start = 14:00
  • date_exited_173 = _fivetran_end = MAX_TIMESTAMP_VALUE
  • time_in_173 = MAX_TIMESTAMP_VALUE - 14:00 (_fivetran_end - _fivetran_start)

HubSpot Tickets API limitationslink

HubSpot’s Tickets API endpoint returns a list of changes to the ticket objects. HubSpot limits the returned changes to the last 24 hours. To ensure data integrity, Fivetran triggers a re-sync of the TICKET table if the incremental endpoint isn’t called in the last 24 hours.

Limitation with Capturing Delete using Webhooklink

For connectors created using our REST API, we do not capture deletes for the following tables using webhook events, as these connectors are not authorized using the Fivetran Hubspot Application:

• COMPANY
• CONTACT
• DEAL
