“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.”
HubSpot workflows cannot export sensitive fields that CSV exports block. Workflows are designed for internal automation and data manipulation within HubSpot, not for external bulk data extraction of protected properties.
Here’s why workflows fall short for sensitive data export and what actually works for accessing SSN and bank account fields.
Workflows can’t export what CSV exports block, but direct API connections can using Coefficient
While workflows can read and use highly sensitive properties internally, they cannot export or send this data outside HubSpot through workflow actions. Email and webhook actions specifically exclude protected fields for security. Coefficient provides a superior alternative through direct API integration that can access sensitive fields blocked by both CSV exports and workflow external actions.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create a HubSpot import targeting sensitive properties.
Connect to HubSpot through Coefficient and target contacts or deals containing SSN and bank account numbers. Select these specific fields in the field mapping interface.
Step 2. Apply filters based on workflow criteria.
Use the same targeting logic your workflows would use by applying filters to pull records that meet specific criteria. This gives you the precision of workflow targeting with actual export capabilities.
Step 3. Set up scheduled imports for automated updates.
Configure automatic imports to pull updated sensitive data on your preferred schedule. This replaces the automation workflows provide while actually delivering the sensitive field data.
Step 4. Integrate with existing workflow processes.
Use HubSpot workflows to flag records needing migration by adding them to specific lists. Then configure Coefficient imports to filter by these workflow-created lists, combining workflow logic with actual export capability.
Get the export power workflows can’t provide
This combination approach leverages workflows for internal processing while using direct API connections for sensitive field extraction that workflows simply cannot perform. Ready to export those protected fields? Try it with Coefficient.
