HubSpot Add Field

To add a birthday field in HubSpot, start by creating a custom property. Navigate to your HubSpot settings, and under the 'Properties' section, choose the object type you want to add the birthday field to, such as contacts. Click 'Create property' and fill in the necessary details. For the 'Field type', selecting 'Date picker' is most appropriate for a birthday field, as it allows for an easy selection of dates. Once completed, this new custom property can be used across HubSpot's platform, including forms, contact records, and list segmentation.

1. In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the main navigation bar.
2. Navigate to 'Properties' within the settings menu.
3. Select the object type (e.g., Contacts) for which you want to add the birthday field.
4. Click 'Create property' and fill in the details, selecting 'Date picker' as the field type.
5. Save your new custom property.

Custom Field Mapping HubSpot

Custom field mapping in HubSpot is crucial when integrating HubSpot with other platforms or when you need to ensure data consistency across different parts of the HubSpot ecosystem. For the birthday field, if you're syncing HubSpot with another CRM or marketing platform, you'll want to map this custom field correctly to ensure birthdays are accurately transferred between systems. This might involve mapping the HubSpot birthday field to a corresponding field in the other platform, which can be done through HubSpot's integrations settings or using Operations Hub for more complex sync requirements.

For integrations, navigate to the 'Connected apps' section in your HubSpot settings. Find the app you're integrating with and set up field mappings, ensuring the birthday field in HubSpot corresponds with the appropriate field in the other platform. This ensures data integrity and allows for seamless use of birthday information across your marketing and sales efforts.

1. Go to 'Connected apps' in your HubSpot settings.
2. Find the app you're integrating with and access its settings.
3. Set up field mappings, ensuring the HubSpot birthday field is correctly mapped to the corresponding field in the other platform.

By carefully adding and mapping a birthday field in HubSpot, businesses can enhance their customer relationship management and leverage birthday-related marketing strategies effectively.
