HubSpot's import tool has received a significant upgrade, aiming to give you a better idea of how an import will impact other parts of your HubSpot setup.

 

Introducing Import Preview: Your Safety Net for Data Imports

Imagine this: You're importing a massive list of new leads. Everything seems perfect, but a nagging question lingers – could this import unintentionally impact other parts of your HubSpot setup? With Import Preview, that question is a thing of the past.

 

How It Works

Once you've mapped your import data, simply click "Next."

  • A brand new section, "Import Preview," will appear. This section highlights any workflows or lists that might be affected by your import.
  • Clicking on "Import Preview" reveals a detailed breakdown. You'll see a list of potentially impacted workflows and lists, along with the specific properties they share with your import data.

  • Want to delve deeper? You can easily click on any listed workflow or list for further investigation.

Why It Matters

  • Preventing accidental list enrollments: No more accidentally adding new contacts to exclusion lists, ensuring your email marketing efforts reach the right audience.
  • Avoiding workflow misfires: Import Preview helps you avoid unintentionally triggering workflows that could send out-of-context communication to your contacts.
  • Maintaining data quality: By identifying potential downstream impacts, you can ensure the accuracy and integrity of your entire HubSpot ecosystem.
