How do I delete a HubSpot contact?
Short answer: You can archive contact in HubSpot by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the HubSpot Archive Contact action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Contact ID contact_id | string | Required | HubSpot contact record ID — a numeric string assigned by HubSpot. Find via Search Contacts or List Contacts. Not the email. |
Sample request
{"contact_id": "e.g. 501"}
Returns
{"success": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Archive Contact.
What does the Archive Contact action do in HubSpot?
Archives (soft-deletes) a contact in HubSpot CRM. Recoverable from the recycle bin for 90 days; for GDPR-style hard delete, use the GDPR-delete endpoint instead.
What inputs does Archive Contact require?
Required: Contact ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if HubSpot returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message HubSpot returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Archive Contact support batch operations?
Run Archive Contact inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within HubSpot's rate limits.
