HubSpot Import Contacts

Before importing contacts into HubSpot, ensure your import file meets HubSpot's requirements. The file must be in .csv, .xlsx, or .xls format, contain only one sheet, and include a header row with column headers that correspond to HubSpot properties. The file should be UTF-8 encoded, especially if it contains foreign language characters, and adhere to the technical limits based on your HubSpot subscription.

How to Import Contacts into HubSpot

To import contacts:

1. Prepare your import file by organizing your data. Each row should represent a contact, and each column should represent a contact property such as first name, last name, and email address.
2. In your HubSpot account, navigate to your contacts, companies, deals, or tickets overview.
3. Click 'Import' in the top right corner.
4. Select 'File from computer' and follow the prompts to upload your file.
5. Choose how to import your data, whether creating new records, updating existing ones, or both.
6. Map your file's columns to the corresponding HubSpot properties.
7. Review and finalize your import settings, then start the import.

HubSpot will process your import, creating new contact records or updating existing ones based on the unique identifiers in your file, such as email addresses or custom unique value properties.
