Trigger with every import

[RafaelCm]

I want to ensure that every contact uploaded is enrolled in a workflow. We import contacts from various tables, and adding a property that triggers the workflow is not an option due to internal reasons.

Contacts are imported multiple times, and each time, they should go through the workflow again, even if they already exist in the system.
My failed attempts so far:
The “Create date is known” property doesn’t get overwritten, so it only triggers once. I also can’t delete this property at the end of my workflow.
The “Latest source” property as well as its Drilldowns are tied to web analytics and, unfortunately, don’t get overwritten with a new import.
I’m curious if anyone knows a workaround or if I’m just overlooking something obvious.

Hi @RafaelCm,

As far as I know, there is no way to identify whether a contact has been a member of a recent import. HubSpot support recently also confirmed this to me. You would have to include a custom property in your file (e.g. a date property ‘Last import date’) to accurately capture and identify these contacts.

Best regards
