HubSpot’s native CSV import provides limited error handling for invalid Task IDs, resulting in partial imports and unclear error messages. The platform doesn’t offer pre-import validation, making it difficult to identify and resolve issues before they impact your database.
Here’s how to eliminate invalid Task ID errors with pre-validated data and real-time validation.
Prevent invalid task ID errors using Coefficient
Coefficient eliminates invalid Task ID errors by ensuring all IDs originate from HubSpot imports and remain validated throughout the process. The system provides hyperlinked verification, real-time validation within the spreadsheet environment, and conditional logic to prevent problematic records from reaching HubSpot .
How to make it work
Step 1. Start with pre-validated Task IDs.
Import tasks from HubSpot using Coefficient and Task IDs are automatically validated and properly formatted. The system hyperlinks Task IDs by default, allowing you to verify record existence before making updates.
Step 2. Validate external data before inclusion.
If adding external task data, validate Task IDs against your imported dataset before including them in exports. Use spreadsheet formulas like =VLOOKUP to check if external Task IDs exist in your validated dataset.
Step 3. Export with conditional validation.
Use conditional logic to only export rows with valid data, preventing problematic records from reaching HubSpot. Set up validation rules that check for proper Task ID formatting and existence before allowing export operations.
Stop dealing with ID validation errors
Coefficient’s workflow inherently prevents invalid Task ID errors, eliminating the need for complex error recovery procedures. Try error-free bulk task updates with built-in validation.
