Hi @jackcoldrick90. I made a couple of suggestions here
- Updated to use the Private App in HubSpot
- Added a function to use not only digits but also characters, making it less chance for duplicate
const hubspot = require('@hubspot/api-client');
function generateRandomCode(length) {
var result = '';
var characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
var charactersLength = characters.length;
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength));
}
return result;
}
exports.main = (event, callback) => {
//Rembember to add a secret called "PrivateApp_AccessToken"
const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({ accessToken: process.env.PrivateApp_AccessToken });
hubspotClient.crm.contacts.basicApi.getById(event.object.objectId)
.then(results => {
var referrerID = generateRandomCode(6);
callback({
outputFields: {
referrer_id: referrerID //Store the referrerID as a data output field
}
});
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
}

Hey @jackcoldrick90 !
Could the code look like this since the return value of the api call is not being used here?
