Hi!

We have started testing and creating Zaps using Zapier Webhooks and the Karbon API and were wondering if anyone has an idea around how many tasks the Zap would use or examples of Zaps that would use too many tasks when using webhooks just so we don’t go over our task limit?

For reference, the zap in testing would be to get a list of clients from Karbon and update the information in HubSpot to match the client information in Karbon.

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Not sure on the usage, but it would depend on how many times you’re updating contact information. 

You likely want some sort of database that stores all of your software field IDs so you can easily look these up when your webhook triggers. 

For example, you could have a GSheet or Airtable that has the Karbon Organization name with the ID and fields for HubSpot Company ID (and a lot more if you want). This would allow you to then do a lookup on the Karbon ID in the database and return the HubSpot ID so you can look that up in HubSpot and make your updates. 

Just this setup would use at least 4 (2-5 below) tasks per contact update if you had a zap such as: 

  1. Trigger: webhook for contact detail change
  2. Webhook to pull detailed contact card 
  3. Lookup Karbon ID in database 
  4. Find HubSpot ID in HubSpot from output in step 3 
  5. Update HubSpot contact with updated fields in step 2
