Upload an Excel contact list into HubSpot without updating the contact info/details

To upload a static list in HubSpot without updating contact information, import only the email column during the property mapping step, and create a new list during the import process. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Prepare Your Data:

• Spreadsheet:

  Ensure your spreadsheet contains only the email addresses you want to import.

• No Other Data:

  Avoid including any other contact information (name, company, etc.) in the spreadsheet to prevent updates to existing contacts. 

2. Import the List:

• Navigate to Contacts: In your HubSpot account, go to CRM > Contacts. 

• Start Import: Click "Import" in the upper right corner. 

• Choose File: Select "File from computer" and upload your spreadsheet. 

• Map Properties:

  • Email Column: During the property mapping step, make sure you map the email column from your spreadsheet to the "Email" property in HubSpot. 

  • Unselect Other Columns: Unselect all other columns in the spreadsheet to prevent updating existing contact information. 

• Create a List:

  • Name the Import: Give your import a name. 

  • Create a List: Select the "Create a list of contacts from this import" checkbox. 

  • Choose List Type: Select "Static". 

• Finish Import: Click "Import" to complete the process. 

3. Verify the List:

• Check Import Status: After the import, review the import status to ensure the list was created successfully. 

• View the List: Go to CRM > Lists to view your new static list.
