How To Delete A Deal In Hubspot

by

“HubSpot, a top CRM platform, enables businesses to effectively handle their sales pipeline. One crucial feature is the capability to create and oversee deals. However, there may be circumstances where deleting a deal is necessary. This blog post will provide step-by-step instructions on how to do so effectively.”

Before we start though, please note that deleting a deal in HubSpot is a permanent action. Once a deal is deleted, it cannot be restored. It is essential to be sure before you proceed with deleting a deal. If you need to keep some information from the deal, consider exporting the deal’s data or taking a screenshot before deleting.

Steps to Delete a Deal in HubSpot

  1. Log in to your HubSpot account.

  2. From the main dashboard, navigate to the Sales dropdown in the main navigation bar, then click on Deals.

  3. You’ll see a list of all your deals. Click on the name of the deal you want to delete. This will open the deal’s detailed view.

  4. In the deal’s detailed view, click on the Actions dropdown menu, then select Delete.

  5. A confirmation dialog box will appear. Click on Delete to permanently delete the deal.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully deleted a deal in HubSpot.

Alternative Method: Using HubSpot’s API

If you’re a developer or have programming experience, you can also delete a deal in HubSpot using the HubSpot’s API. You’ll need the deal’s unique dealId, which can be found in the deal’s URL.

Here is an example of how you can use a DELETE request to delete a deal:

 
        curl -X DELETE \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
        'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/deals/{dealId}'

Just replace {token} with your OAuth access token and {dealId} with the id of the deal that you want to delete.

Remember, like with deleting a deal in the HubSpot interface, deleting a deal via API is a permanent action and cannot be undone.

Whether you’re using the HubSpot interface or the HubSpot API to delete a deal, always ensure that you’re certain about your action as it cannot be reversed. HubSpot’s deal management feature ensures a smooth sales process, but it also gives users the flexibility to manage and organize their deals as they see fit.
