“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.”
HubSpotYou can import Google Sheets rows as newcontacts without creating duplicates by using intelligent data mapping and strategic export actions that identify existing records through email addresses or contact IDs.
This method provides superior duplicate prevention compared to HubSpot’s native CSV import, which can miss edge cases and create unwanted duplicate records.
Prevent duplicates with smart import strategy using Coefficient
Coefficienthandles duplicate prevention through its export actions and data validation. The platform can identify existing records and choose whether to insert new contacts or update existing ones, giving you precise control over your contact database.
How to make it work
Step 1. Structure your Google Sheets with unique identifiers.
Create a dedicated column for email addresses or HubSpot contact IDs. These serve as your unique identifiers for duplicate detection. Make sure each email address appears only once in your spreadsheet to maintain data integrity.
Step 2. Choose the right export action for your data.
Use the INSERT action for genuinely new contacts and the UPDATE action for existing ones. Coefficient automatically identifies existing records through your unique identifiers, preventing accidental duplicates during the import process.
Step 3. Set up conditional export logic.
Create a “Status” column in your spreadsheet with values like “New” or “Ready to Import.” Configure your export to only process rows where this column meets specific criteria, preventing accidental re-imports of already processed contacts.
Step 4. Map your columns to HubSpot contact properties.
During export setup, map your Google Sheets columns to the corresponding HubSpot contact properties. Coefficient handles data type validation automatically, ensuring your contact information imports correctly without formatting errors.
Step 5. Track your imports with audit trails.
Use Coefficient’s append new data feature to add timestamps when contacts are imported. This creates an audit trail showing exactly when each contact was added to your HubSpot database.
