“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
When HubSpot workflow date fields export as Unix timestamps rather than formatted dates, it reflects limitations in the native workflow-to-Google Sheets integration. HubSpot workflows export raw timestamp data because they’re designed for system communication, not human-readable reporting.
Here’s how to get properly formatted workflow date data without relying on workflow export limitations.
Replace workflow exports with comprehensive data imports using Coefficient
CoefficientHubSpotprovides a more sophisticated approach todate handling that bypasses workflow export limitations through direct API connection that handles date formatting during import rather than relying on workflow exports.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up direct HubSpot connection instead of workflows.
Install Coefficient in Google Sheets and connect your HubSpot account through “Connected Sources.” This provides direct API access that processes date formatting automatically, eliminating workflow export dependencies.
Step 2. Import complete object records with workflow data.
Select HubSpot objects that contain your workflow-related information. Choose properties including workflow enrollment dates, completion timestamps, and custom date fields. Coefficient imports complete records rather than limited workflow field exports.
Step 3. Configure scheduled imports to replace workflow triggers.
Set up automatic imports that run hourly, daily, or weekly to match your workflow timing needs. This maintains the same data freshness as workflow exports while providing properly formatted dates automatically.
Step 4. Access comprehensive data beyond workflow limitations.
Unlike workflow exports that limit field selection, Coefficient imports complete contact, deal, or custom object data. This gives you workflow-related dates alongside broader contextual information, all with proper date formatting applied.
