The new quick import option for contacts doesn’t have the option to set contacts as marketing contacts.
This results in 300% more clicks required. You have to import, then go find the segment (list), select all, and then click more, and then click set as marketing contacts…
Please bring this checkbox back on imports.
Hey @Zapaer !! Alex from the HubSpot product team here.
Appreciate your feedback on the new quick contact import tool. We’ve heard a fair amount of feedback on the lack of functionality in this new flow, and are considering options for folding it in over time. For my own understanding -- is quick contact import irrelevant to you until something like the ability to create marketing contacts is added?
Also, I just want to ensure you’re aware of the other ways in import to create marketing contacts. You can still use the “Advanced” import flow -- which is the same import tool you’ve always used. This is the top right option on the first step of the import flow.
Alternatively, you can select your contacts from the post-import screen and choose to make them marketing contacts via the “More” dropdown. The benefit of this option is being able to choose specific contacts within your import you want to make marketing contacts.
