Importing a HubSpot Premium Contact Object List for use in Smart Send Campaigns is quick and easy once the HubSpot Premium Contacts, Companies, and Deals Integration Set Up has been completed. This integration also allows tracking and delivery events to be posted back into HubSpot, along with HubSpot timeline activity updates, if chosen during the integration setup.

Important Notes about HubSpot Lists:

  • HubSpot lists can be imported from Contact, Company, or Deals objects only.

  • Lists imported using the HubSpot Premium Integration will have the full suite of tracking and delivery events, along with activity timeline events, synced back.

  • While Postalytics supports list import from .CSV and Excel files, campaigns using lists with these import sources do not connect to HubSpot for tracking and delivery events, or timeline activity events.

  • To import a HubSpot list with the Integration, your version of HubSpot must support the Lists feature.

  • Lists that include Contacts with addresses in the United States and Canada will be split into two separate lists - by Country.

Import a List For Smart Send Campaign

Importing a list can be done in one of two ways:

  • Immediately after completing the HubSpot Premium Integration, by selecting the “Import a List Now” button on the Integration Confirmation page.

  • From the Lists dropdown menu, by selecting “Import List.

Either way, the Import New Contact List page is the next step. 

  • Click the box “HubSpot Premium”.
  • Name the List, and then use the second dropdown to select the HubSpot Premium Integration being used.

Once the HubSpot Integration is selected, a new drop down will appear to choose the HubSpot Contact, Company, or Deals list to be imported. 

  • Click “Next”.

  • Next, review the List Data Preview for the HubSpot list selected. If the preview is correct, select “Looks Good! Start Mapping”.

  • Map each of the HubSpot data fields to the corresponding Postalytics fields in each of the sections using the dropdowns in each field. 

If variable data will be imported for personalization within your template, those fields, up to 34 unique fields, will be mapped in the User Defined Personalization Fields. Then select “Confirm Field Mappings”.

The following page shows the data fields selected in the previous step. 

  • Review for accuracy and select “Import Now”. 

The list will be imported and ready to use in a Smart Send Campaign.

The list is viewable within the List Library. To access, select “View Lists” in the Lists dropdown menu.
