For sales and ops teams who want company edits made safely, with old values kept, by asking their AI assistant.

Connect HubSpot, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Company edits can clear fields and lose old values
Editing a HubSpot company record by hand risks clearing fields by accident, giving it a domain another company already uses, or changing values with no record of what they were before.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the company and edit fields by hand
- Hope no other company uses the new domain
- Clear a field by accident
- Lose the old values with no record
With PopdockAI
- Each change is mapped to a field, and ones it cannot change are named
- A new domain is checked against other companies
- You see current and new values before saving
- Only changed fields are sent, old values are noted and read back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Apply `{changes}` to the HubSpot company `{company-name}`, changing nothing else.
**Step 1: Find the company**
Call `hubspot-get-companies` with `company-name.contains` = `{company-name}`. If none or several match, list them and stop.
**Step 2: Map the changes**
Map each change to a `hubspot-update-company` parameter: `name`, `domain`, `phone`, `city`, `state`, `country`, `description`, `lifecycle-stage`, `owner-id`. Anything else cannot be changed by this tool; say so and leave it out.
**Step 3: Check**
* If `domain` changes, call `hubspot-get-companies` with `company-domain-name` = the new domain and stop if another company already has it.
* If `lifecycle-stage` moves backwards, warn that HubSpot may refuse it.
**Step 4: Confirm**
Show a table: field, current value, new value. Wait for an explicit yes.
**Step 5: Update and log**
Call `hubspot-update-company` once with `id` = the record-id and only the changed fields. Then call `hubspot-add-company-note` once listing what changed and the old values.
**Step 6: Verify**
Re-read with `hubspot-get-companies` by `record-id` and report the stored values.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Only `hubspot-update-company` and `hubspot-add-company-note` may write, each once, after confirmation.
* Do NOT call any other write tool: `hubspot-add-contact`, `hubspot-add-company`, `hubspot-add-deal`, `hubspot-add-ticket`, `hubspot-update-contact`, `hubspot-update-deal`, `hubspot-update-ticket`, `hubspot-add-contact-note`, `hubspot-add-deal-note`, `hubspot-add-ticket-note`.
* Never send a field you are not changing; an empty value clears it.
* Do not set `owner-id`. No tool maps a person's name to a HubSpot owner ID, so leave ownership unchanged unless the user gives you a numeric owner ID.
**Validation:**
* If `{changes}` is ambiguous, ask before mapping it.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Account managers
Update an account after a call
Record a new domain, size or industry in one message, with the old values kept on record.

CRM administrators
Avoid domain clashes
A new domain is checked against other companies, so records do not end up sharing one.
Change Fabrikam's domain in HubSpot to fabrikam.io, but check no other company uses it.
Sales operations
Keep a trail of what changed
Every update adds a note with the previous values, so changes can be traced or reversed.

How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You describe the changes and your AI assistant maps them to the company's fields and checks for clashes. Nothing is saved until you have seen current and new values and said yes.
01
Ask
You name the company and describe the changes.
02
Check
It maps each change to a field, checks a new domain and warns on backwards stages.
03
Confirm
You see current and new values side by side and say yes.
04
Update
It sends only the changed fields, notes the old values and reads it back.
