When launching a new Hubspot CRM account, it would be great if you could import your properties using certain excel template, where you can map all you properties sorted by groups, types, fields, etc.

For Sales Pro or Professional accounts, sometimes you have too many properties and creating one by one can take a while!

It really is.

To use workflow to make various functions, numerous times we need to make a lot of property options or forms.

If we can, we also can use personal mail more personalized. Since it uses contact tokens and contact tokens are based on the contact property’s options.

For example,

1. Import Contact Property which contacts have various information
2. Send mail based on their properties.

Agreed. It’s really missing as is almost everything related to customisation in Hubspot so far. You can use Portal Replicator ([https://www.leadsruptive.com/replicator-for-hubspot](https://www.leadsruptive.com/replicator-for-hubspot/)) to clone existing builds in their entirety but it’s not the same as an Hubspot equivalent to Salesforce’s Object creator ([https://object-creator.salesforce.com](https://object-creator.salesforce.com/)) or Field Creator ([https://fieldcreator.herokuapp.com](https://fieldcreator.herokuapp.com)) for example.

Hi community, thank you all for your feedback! We are currently exploring ways to make creating properties faster and smarter _during import_. Especially for dropdown select properties with a lot of options. Can you help us design the right solution here by sharing a bit more about your usecase?

- How often do you create new properties during import? Are you usually creating a single property or many all at one go?
- When are you creating these new properties? Right before importing data into those properties? During an import? Or does it have nothing to do with import at all?
- How do you decide what property type to use?

Feel free to reply here or if you prefer discussing these questions, [find some time on our calendar here](https://meetings.hubspot.com/shiva-muthiah/30-minute-zoom).

Thank you!
