I noticed that the new "Contact Recently Created or Updated" event in the HubSpot app parses the Contact ID incorrectly. Instead of the expected format (e.g. 24351701), it returns values like 24351701_2025-02-06T07:48:11.122Z.

Previously, I used the "New Contact Property Change" event, which correctly parsed the Contact ID (24351701), but it doesn’t serve the same purpose since it only triggers on property updates.

Just wanted to check if this is a bug or an intended change?

Hi ​@ag5566 

There should be another field returned that has only the Contact ID.

The reason you see the below value is because that is used to track updates since that is part of the trigger event, so it is a combo of the Contact ID and a Timestamp.

24351701_2025-02-06T07:48:11.122Z


Yes I have been using the Object ID instead of Record ID. Will update my automations to use the Record ID instead. Thanks for your help


That’s awesome ​@ag5566! A huge thanks to Troy for pointing you in the right direction!
