Input Fields
- Value (text): The query value of what you want to match against. You can search by either email, name or company name.

Depending on your choice on the second tab (see above) for Result Set, the output will either be a list of contacts or a single contact.

- and more… : HubSpot includes many fields by default, but users can customize the list. Here is a full list of the HubSpot’s default contact properties with descriptions (external link to the HubSpot KnowledgeBase.) TIP: When
If you chose “All matching contacts”, there’s a single output field:
- Contacts (list of objects): A list of contacts, where each contact has all of the individual contact fields including one called “Contact ID” as well as all of the other fields (see list above). To work with items in a list, see the available List Functions that can follow in your Flow, such as Filter to narrow down the list or For Each to process the contacts one at a time.
NOTE: Because of changes to the labels of certain fields in the Hubspot API, it may be necessary to regenerate inputs and/or outputs on cards by clicking the gear icon at the bottom right corner of the card and selecting “Choose fields.” This change affected the “Hubspot Owner” field, which may have been changed to “Company Owner,” “Deal Owner,” or “Contact Owner” depending on the card. If you created your card after May 9th, your card will have generated the currently correct inputs and/or outputs.
