HubSpot enforces specific limits on contact properties that can cause import mapping to freeze when these limits are exceeded, including 1,000 custom properties per account and 65,536 characters per text property.
Here’s how to get better visibility into these limitations and work around them to successfully import your contact data.
Get property limit transparency with Coefficient
CoefficientHubSpot‘s validation system clearly identifies when your import data conflicts with’s contact property limits, unlike the native import wizard which may freeze without explanation when limits are reached.
HubSpotThe system addresses specific HubSpot contact property constraints including the 1,000 custom property limit per account, 65,536 character limit per text field, numeric property range requirements, strict date field formatting, and picklist value limitations. You get pre-import validation, data truncation options, property usage analysis, and alternative property suggestions when approachinglimits.
How to make it work
Step 1. Audit your contact data against HubSpot property limits.
Use Coefficient to analyze your contact data and identify potential conflicts with HubSpot’s property constraints. The system checks text field character counts, validates numeric ranges, and reviews date formats before attempting import.
Step 2. Identify and resolve limit conflicts.
Review Coefficient’s property usage analysis to see which custom properties are consuming your 1,000 property limit. The system suggests existing properties that could be used instead of creating new ones and identifies alternative storage options for data that exceeds limits.
Step 3. Apply workaround solutions.
When property limits cause mapping freezes, use Coefficient’s filtered imports to import only essential contact data that fits within property limits. You can also use batch processing to split large datasets and data transformation to modify formats before import.
Step 4. Execute successful imports without mapping freezes.
Run your contact imports with confidence, knowing that property limit conflicts have been identified and resolved. Coefficient’s validation prevents the constraint violations that cause HubSpot’s mapping stage to freeze.
