Bulk import documentation

isaacly — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 13:28:06 GMT

Hello, I'm just getting started with HubSpot and need to bulk import contacts. Unfortunately the API doesn't seem to be fully documented.

What is idColumnType, and which types of data need it? For example, email gets HUBSPOT_ALTERNATE_ID for its idColumnType, but what about a phone number?

What does the associationIdentifierColumn do? For example, I would have expected the Company field to have this set to true, since I assume it's being used to create an association?

Need help!

Thanks,

Isaac

Hi @isaacly

I am checking in with the Dev docs team to see what is going on here.

In the meantime, check out the older version which will have your answers (even though it is older, it is still relevant)

Thanks so much for that reference @dennisedson! That does answer my questions, the older doc has much more info!
