Hi - so I am not super experienced with the hubspot API for apps, but I was able to build a couple of apps yesterday to extract company and contact info from some videos (Brooke for the win).
My overall goal is to use the JSON being output to a page from my app to be able to create specialized contact lists off of properties that may not be showing up as ways to filter or build reports within HubSpot already (I focused this around bounced emails assuming that the auto-detection of bouncing emails would trigger it the same way as an actual bounce, which I found out I was wrong, but I'm in the same spot all the same).
I have it printing out correctly in the JSON and it even provides the hs_email_bounce value, which has been "null" for everything, because none of the emails are bounced in my test account.
I'm running into a couple of challenges.
HubSpot is either too smart and even when I put in real domains, it is just not sending the email instead of bouncing it (I get notified by email) or the dev test accounts don't recognize bounces (both could be true, but I've been unable to test and want to hear what others have to say before I keep trying)
2. I've done a project like this before not on HubSpot and we used separate apps, but we used a function that was a json.parse to extract the data we wanted and copilot is suggesting I use a data.filter, which sounds like a winner and appears to want to filter the data correctly, but I haven't been able to test because the emails won't bounce
My ultimate goal is to automatically input the name, email, company from the bounced email contacts onto a hubdb, which my app does when it isn't looking for bounced emails. Overall I'm trying to build an app template for any such situation where, for whatever reason, reporting or workflows are not able to be set based on the data present, but we can build a little work around to keep things humming (I understand that you can use certain bounce properties to trigger workflows, but the auto-detect seemed like a winner since it's differentiated and now I just want the template done)
This isn't incredibly complicated, so I'm hoping this is something many people have experience with and can even just point me in the right direction, so I know I'm not going in the wrong direction. It seems odd to be having an issue that a product is too good, but hey, here we are
