How to make it work

Select “Export to HubSpot” from Coefficient’s menu and choose the INSERT action to add new contact records. Coefficient will automatically handle field mapping based on your column headers and HubSpot property names.
Step 4. Preview and validate your data before export.
Use Coefficient’s preview functionality to see exactly how your contact data will appear in HubSpot. This catches formatting issues early and shows you any required field gaps that need attention.
Step 5. Execute the import with real-time progress tracking.
