How to import objects

You can import files to create and update HubSpot records in bulk. This article explains how to import a single type of record, also known as an object. When importing a single object, you can create or update the following:

• Standard CRM objects: contacts, companies, deals, tickets, and defined custom objects.
• HubSpot-defined objects: products.

You can also import and associate records across multiple objects in HubSpot. If you have data in another system and want to set up a two-way sync, learn how to connect and use HubSpot data sync rather than importing.

Before you get started

Before you start an import, set up your import file and confirm you have all the required fields for your single object import.
