I’m working on a Laravel project and trying to connect it with HubSpot. I found some code online that gets only the first and last names of contacts. However, I need help retrieving other details such as email and phone number. Here’s my current code:

$hubspot_response = $hubspot_client->contacts()->getAll();
foreach ($hubspot_response->contacts as $single_contact) {
    echo "Contact: {$single_contact->properties->firstname->value} {$single_contact->properties->lastname->value}\n";
}

The code works for names, but I’m stuck when I try to access fields like $single_contact->properties->email->value. How can I retrieve all available contact details from HubSpot?

I’ve encountered a similar issue when integrating HubSpot with Laravel. The solution lies in using the properties() method, as Bob_Clever mentioned, but there’s a bit more to it. You’ll want to specify which properties you need when making the API call. Here’s an approach that worked for me:

$properties = ['firstname', 'lastname', 'email', 'phone'];
$hubspot_response = $hubspot_client->contacts()->all(['properties' => $properties]);

foreach ($hubspot_response->contacts as $contact) {
    $contactProps = $contact->properties();
    // Access fields: $contactProps['email'], $contactProps['phone'], etc.
}

This method allows you to fetch specific fields efficiently, reducing API load and improving performance. Remember to handle cases where a property might not exist for all contacts.

As someone who’s integrated HubSpot with various systems, I can share a tip that might help. While the properties() method works, I’ve found that using the toArray() method can be more straightforward and flexible. Here’s how I typically approach it:

$hubspot_response = $hubspot_client->contacts()->getAll();
foreach ($hubspot_response->contacts as $contact) {
    $contactData = $contact->toArray();
    $email = $contactData['properties']['email'] ?? null;
    $phone = $contactData['properties']['phone'] ?? null;
    // Access any other fields similarly
}

This method allows you to easily access all available properties without specifying them beforehand. It’s particularly useful when you’re unsure which fields might be present or when you need to dynamically handle different property sets. Just remember to use the null coalescing operator (??) to handle cases where a property might not exist for all contacts.

hey there! i’ve worked with hubspot before. to get all contact fields, you can use the properties() method on each contact. like this:

foreach ($hubspot_response->contacts as $contact) {
    $allProps = $contact->properties();
    // now you can access any field like $allProps['email']
}

hope that helps! lemme know if you need anything else
