Create a Custom Property in HubSpot

When you create a custom property in HubSpot, the type of information you want the property to collect and store will determine the field type to select. For certain field types, you can also edit the property’s type or options after the property is created. In HubSpot, a property is a specific piece of information that is associated with a contact, company, or deal. There are several different types of properties that can be created in HubSpot, including:
Single-line text: A single line of text, such as a name or email address.
Multi-line text: Multiple lines of text, such as a description or notes.
Number: A numerical value, such as a phone number or revenue amount.
Date: A date and/or time, such as a birthday or meeting date.
Boolean: A true/false value, such as whether or not a contact is a lead or customer.
Select: A pre-defined list of options, such as a list of states or job titles.
Radio: A pre-defined list of options, similar to a select property, but only one option can be chosen.
Checkbox: A pre-defined list of options, similar to a select property, but multiple options can be chosen.
File: A file upload, such as a resume or image.
Email: A email address.
Phone: A phone number.
Website: A website.
Address: An address.
