I’m using Zapier that starts a trigger “Updated Row in Google BigQuery.” 

The BQ has so many columns and I need to updated those columns on hubspot.

When Zapier found the same deal on Hubspot then Zapier updates those columns on the deal.

Sometimes some columns already have value on Hubspot and need to update to null, but my Zapier doesn’t update and the values at columns stay.

I want to update columns including null. How do I need to setup?

I already challenged to put “{{zap_clear_value}}" but it didn’t work. (inseting an image)

I also need to be careful to minimize tasks and to keep Zapier simple as possible.

Hi ​@haruna.omi, I hope you’re doing well!

 

Thank you for the detailed question! It seems like you’re encountering an issue with updating HubSpot deal properties to null when values already exist. Here are a few thoughts:

 

Understand the {{zap_clear_value}} Placeholder

Zapier uses {{zap_clear_value}} to clear a property’s value (set it to null) in HubSpot. However, this only works if the field accepts null values. If you’ve tried this without success, the issue might be with HubSpot’s API or the field’s configuration.

 

To ensure Zapier updates values to null, please check the field properties in HubSpot:

• Ensure the field in HubSpot is configured to accept empty values. Some fields, like dropdowns or required fields, may not support null values.

 

To Minimize Tasks and Simplify the Zap

You might want to consider Batch Updates:

• Instead of triggering the Zap for every row change, consider batching updates using a tool like Google Sheets or Zapier’s Schedule by Zapier to reduce the number of tasks.

• Combine multiple updates into a single action when possible.

You can also take advantage of Conditional Paths:

• Add conditional logic to determine whether to update a field. This avoids unnecessary updates when values haven’t changed.

Here is a great resource that should point you in the right direction: https://zapier.com/blog/zapier-paths-conditional-workflows/

 

If you’re still facing issues after trying the above, feel free to share any additional details or screenshots for further guidance. Happy automating! 🚀
