I have three errors when importing the contacts.

Can someone, please, help me with that? What exactly would I change?

Hi @Belnem,

There are mandatory import fields for new records of each object. These error messages are referring to these mandatory fields.

For company records, HubSpot needs a _Company domain name_ (e.g. [igorbelnem.com](http://igorbelnem.com)) or a _Name_ (e.g. Igor Belnem). Otherwise HubSpot wouldn’t have anything to show as a record name. Think of it as trying to upload a contact without providing an email address or first and last name. If you have these columns in your import file already, then it’s a matter of mapping them correctly and I’d recommend following these steps: [Import records for multiple objects](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-objects#import-one-object)

The situation is similar for deals and tickets. These records, too, need a name. Otherwise, how would you even start to search for records? In addition to a name, you also have to provide a pipeline name and stage for deals and tickets (e.g. Sales pipeline, Ticket pipeline):

> **[Set up and manage object pipelines](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/set-up-and-customize-pipelines)**

All deals and tickets are placed in pipelines. You can’t create a deal or ticket and not have it be part of a pipeline. The two articles above explain how you can find your existing pipelines and what their names and what stages you have set up.

Best regards!
