How to make it work

Step 1. Establish live connection for immediate verification.

HubSpotConnect your Excel workbook tothrough Coefficient to create live data verification. Import current contact data to immediately identify which specific fields are blank after processing.

Step 2. Compare original data with current HubSpot records.

Use the same spreadsheet to compare your original Excel data with current HubSpot contact records. This side-by-side comparison reveals exactly which fields failed to populate and their data patterns.

Step 3. Apply field-specific filtering to identify patterns.

Use up to 25 filters in Coefficient to isolate contacts with blank field occurrences. Create filter combinations that identify specific patterns like all contacts missing phone numbers or blank company fields from certain data sources.

Step 4. Use UPDATE export actions for targeted fixes.

Apply Coefficient’s UPDATE export action to populate blank fields without affecting existing data. This surgical approach fixes only the problematic fields while preserving correctly imported information.

Step 5. Create field-specific exports for problem columns.

Export only the problematic blank fields using Coefficient’s field selection capabilities. This targeted approach addresses specific field issues without reprocessing entire contact records.

Step 6. Apply data validation in Excel before export.

Use Excel’s conditional formatting and validation formulas to identify potential field issues before export. Create validation rules that check for proper email formats, phone number structures, and required field completion.

Step 7. Set up conditional exports with validation criteria.

Create conditional exports that only process data meeting specific validation criteria. This ensures fields only export when they meet HubSpot’s requirements and prevents future blank field issues.

Step 8. Enable monitoring with email alerts.

Set up Coefficient’s email alerts to notify you immediately of any field population issues. This provides ongoing monitoring of your data flow and early detection of blank field problems.
