Pardot Data Import Best Practice Question

SOLVE

Hi

I have installed the Salesforce connector, and my Salesforce data has synced across. Lots of lovely contacts are now sitting in Hubspot.

However, I also have much more data about these contacts currently sitting in Pardot.

I have been able to export this to a csv file. I understand about the import process, and have the necessary excel skills to ensure my data will load happily.

My question is this:

In Pardot, I have a field called Source Campaign, which identifies the prospect's first contact with us. I would like to retain this information as we move to Hubspot. Into which Hubspot property do you recommend I load this information? Should I use the Original Source property? If so, this doesn't seem to offer me a list of campaigns - only "Other Campaigns". Can I affect this list in some way? Or is there somewhere else you would recommend I put this information?

 

I will happily set up matching campaigns in Hubspot, but I am not sure that the Hubspot campaign concept is the same as the Pardot campaign concept...

 

Your genius advice will be appreciated.

Answering my own question here... the answer, of course, was to create a custom property into which I could load my historical data. I can then use Workflow to increase scores and make other changes based on the values in this custom fields.

Absolutely right! A custom property would be best here. The Original Source property is a default property and the values are added by the system which is why you wouldn't have seen that show as an option.
