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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Archive Contact support batch operations?

Yes. Run Archive Contact inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles HubSpot's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
