👥 Owners, users and the current user

In v6 ChiliDocs uses HubSpot's internal user properties directly – no more custom naming scheme. Owner and user placeholders now work consistently across every object.

✅ Record owner

The owner placeholder always names its object, followed by the user property you want to output:

• [contact.owner.hs_email]

• [company.owner.hs_given_name]

• [deal.owner.hs_family_name]

• [ticket.owner.hs_job_title]

The pattern applies to every object with an owner – including orders, quotes, subscriptions, courses and custom objects.

✅ Non-default owner property

If an object has more than one owner property (e.g. a quote with an additional domain owner), you can specify the property explicitly:

[quote.owner(hs_quote_owner_id).hs_email]

✅ Owner with an association label

With multiple associated companies or contacts, use labels to pick the exact record and get its owner:

[company(Primary).owner.hs_email]

✅ Owner inside tables

Within a table like [deal_table], [deal.owner.hs_email] gives you the owner of each row's deal.

✅ Associated HubSpot users

For users associated with the record (via HubSpot user associations):

• [user.hs_email] – all associated users

• [user(Label).hs_email] – targeted via an association label

✅ Current user

The user who clicked Generate:

[currentuser.hs_given_name]

In a workflow context, currentuser is empty – no user triggers the run.

✅ Available user properties

Any HubSpot user property works – most common:

• hs_given_name (first name)

• hs_family_name (last name)

• hs_email

• hs_main_phone

• hs_job_title

⚠️ Owner without an object is an error

A bare [owner.hs_email] (without an object in front) produces a red error in the document:

SyntaxError: owner needs its object, e.g. contact.owner.x [owner.x]

💡 Legacy placeholders (v5)

Names like [contact.ownerfirstname], [contact.owneremail], [currentuser.firstname] have been removed. Existing templates still work (they are translated at generation time) – a one-time migration is worth it: see Migrate templates to the v6 placeholder syntax.
