Hi All,

I am new to HubSpot, I’m coming from [Salesforce.com](http://Salesforce.com)

Any recommended free tool to import/update/remove data from the HubSpot? In salesforce we have the Data Loader if someone is familiar..

Thanks! 😀

Hi @OBetzalel,

Although structured differently, HubSpot has an import tool that you can learn more about here: [Import records for multiple objects](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-objects)

The way importing in HubSpot works is that records will be created if they don’t exist yet or updated (if you choose so during the import process).

CRM records can be deleted following these steps: [Delete CRM records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/delete-crm-records)

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

[@Jigar\_Thakker](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/610147) @karstenkoehler Hi Guys,

So you recommending on working with the HubSpot UI instead of installing or using an external tool.

Thanks!
