Within HubSpot, you can view a record's source to understand how a record was created or view a record's property history to see how its property values have been updated over time. The source values below show which tool or process updated the record. For example, the record was created by an import or a record's property value was changed via a workflow.
Please note: some sources below don't apply to the Record source property as certain tools cannot create records.
