“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.”
HubSpotWhen email addresses aren’t unique or reliable identifiers, you can sync Google Sheets data tocontacts using Contact ID as the primary matching field. This approach works perfectly for organizations with duplicate emails or shared addresses.
Here’s how to set up reliable synchronization using Contact ID instead of email matching, including bi-directional sync capabilities.
Use Contact ID for reliable non-email synchronization using Coefficient
Coefficientsolves the non-email identifier challenge by supporting Contact ID-based synchronization between Google Sheets and HubSpot. The flexible field mapping system lets you designate Contact ID as the matching criterion instead of email addresses, which is particularly valuable when emails are duplicated across contacts or frequently change.
This approach also supports bi-directional sync – you can import HubSpot contacts with Contact IDs to Google Sheets, update the data, then export back using Contact ID matching to maintain perfect data consistency.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import HubSpot contacts to capture Contact IDs.
Start by importing your HubSpot contacts to Google Sheets using Coefficient. This captures Contact IDs alongside other contact properties, giving you the unique identifiers needed for reliable synchronization. Save this as your master contact list.
Step 2. Set up Contact ID-based field mapping for exports.
When exporting back to HubSpot, configure Coefficient to use Contact ID as the unique identifier instead of email. Map your Contact ID column to HubSpot’s Contact ID field in the export settings, then map your other data columns to the appropriate HubSpot contact properties.
Step 3. Configure automated bi-directional sync schedules.
Set up scheduled imports to refresh your Contact ID list regularly, and scheduled exports to push changes back to HubSpot. You can also sync contact associations using Contact IDs, enabling complex relationship updates between contacts, deals, and companies without relying on email matching.
