Typeform variables not synching with custom properties on Hubspot?

Hey @trytwello! How are you doing today? Did you make sure the field types are mapped correctly? Make sure to take a look at the article my friend Liz has sent you above. Let us know if you have any other questions! 😊

Hi @trytwello, I’m having a similar issue with my backend and I’m trying to fix it. Were you able to have any success?

hello ​@trytwello and ​@catsonice , I was wondering if either of you found a way around it? I am facing similar issues where I am trying to import a number (old score) from hubspot to typeform in order to compare with the new score as part of filling in the typeform but I cannot find a way to do it. 

If I use url parameters, what is imported appears to be in text format, and I cannot compare it to a variable as part of typeform calculations. 

When I set it as a variable and map it to the hubspot field, even though the data is coming through from hubspot (I can see it in the url), it is always replaced by the default value in typeform (which there is no way to leave blank, it defaults to 0).

Thank you,

Sophie

​@SophieP  - unfortunately,, when you attach a variable to a url string it is by default always a text string. 

one thing you can do, it is a little tedious to set up but does work, is to set up logic rules to evaluate the value of the hidden variable (that is what typeform calls it) and then assign a numeric value to a custom variable that you can use. 

the reason i say tedious, is that if your score ranges from 1-100, for example, you would have to have 100 logic rule sets like this: 

• if v_hidden = 1 then add 1 to v_custom
• if v_hidden - 2 then add 2 to v_custom
• etc

then in your form you then have a numeric value in v_custom to use. 

just a thought.. ( did this for client where they had 1,000 values in the scoring range.. sigh .. but works well)

​@john.desborough , thank you very much, this workaround worked! 😃

I am glad I had “only” 30 values to add - I skipped a heartbeat every time I was selecting “Add rule” with “Delete all rules” selection being so close to it, so I cannot imagine for 1,000 of them!!!
