Ideas to bulk manage attachments on company/deal/contact records

So, I know there's already an idea out there, to have this as a Hubspot feature. But since that's not on any roadmap yet it seems, I'm wondering if people have found external / creative solutions for this challenge?

 

Specifically, we're looking to migrate a client into Hubspot, who's coming from a CRM where file attachments are a big thing. There's roughly 12.000 records, at least 1.000 of which have multiple files attached to them, that would all need to be transfered to Hubspot.

 

In Hubspot, I can only upload these by hand, or would have to build something custom using the CMS Files API.

 

I've looked in the Hubspot Marketplace, but couldn't find anything. So I have two questions:

 

  1. Does anyone know of a solution out there that can expedite this process?

  2. Alternatively, can anyone confirm that I can attach files uploaded to the CMS API, to a Contact, Company or Deal Record's Attachment card, provided I had the ID of that object (I'll worry about that last part next)?

Ideas to bulk manage attachments on company/deal/contact records

Hello @Bob2245 and @TiphaineCuisset,

 

It's possible to create and attach files and PDFs to contact, company and deals.

 

To attach a file manually you can check this doc. If you want to attach files through API then here is the doc.

 

Hope it will help you out. 🙂
