How do I update/change a company in a contact?

[AkshayKini]

Can we import excel document with contact ID and mass updated associated companies? Editing through each contact is really slow. What field should we select while importing in that case? I already tried adding/updating website the associated company is not replaced.

Hi @AkshayKini ,

This knowledge base article goes through how to import and associate records: Import and associate multiple objects

Hi,  @natsumimori   The poster specifically asked if there is a way to "IMPORT" an excel document THAT contains a CONTACT ID and in order to mass update (import) an associated ID (and I think he means the Company he wants linked to the Contact).  You provided a knowledge link and said it goes through how to import and associate records.  Does this article answer the question?  Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how to do this.  Can you provide instructions?

Hi @LDowdy ,

Yes, you can import a file with contact IDs and associate with company records. You can either prepare one file which includes both contact and company information, or two separate files (1 for contacts and 1 for companies.). You can find more details in the knowlede base article you linked: Import records and activities

What I did was:

1. Export contact records and company records (So that you can retrieve IDs in exported files)
2. Add comapny IDs and domains into contact file
   example
   I added one company IDs to all of my contacts because I wanted them to be associated this one particular company.
3. Import this newly edited file
   → All of my contacts got associated with a company record "Disney"

I hope this clarifies!

Hi @JPoppick , thank you for your post.

Do you mean you'd want to edit the associated company from a contact record? If yes, you can achieve this by clicking on "Remove association" as seen in the screenshot below:

This knowledge base article explains the details too: Associate records

Hi @JPoppick,

When you navigate to a contact record, you should see a company association on the upper right of the screen:

This is where you can either click Preview and rename the company record or click X, remove the association and associate a new company.

If you're not working with the company object in HubSpot and simply want to the change the Company name field on the contact record, click View all properties in the left sidebar, search Company name and you can change it.

Hope this helps!
