Is Hubspot planning a feature to allow notes export? This is a basic feature that all other CRMs allow.

Hi @eduar,

It’s currently [not possible to export contact engagements](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/cos-general/what-data-can-i-export-from-hubspot) (notes, tasks, emails, meetings, calls), at least not out-of-the-box in the free CRM.

If you’re on the Professional subscription, you can [create a custom activities report](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/reports/create-custom-reports) and export that report.

For free portals, there are workarounds using third-party integrations. I haven’t tested this myself but other users have mentioned [import2 data migration](https://www.import2.com/hubspot/crm/from/hubspot).

Another alternative would be custom solutions based on the [HubSpot Engagements API](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/engagements/engagements-overview).

There is also a [thread on this topic](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Import-export-activities-engagements/idi-p/11960) in the HubSpot Ideas section of the community. I’d recommend upvoting this thread and leaving a comment with your use case.

Hope this helps!

As mentioned by Karsten, one of the workarounds is to create a custom report that includes the following information:

- Object’s unique identifier (eg email address of contacts or company domain name of companies)
- Note body
- Activity created by
- Activity date
- Plus other properties you need

Then export this report as CSV/XLS.

Hi!

Is it possible to export note history?
