Apart from the terminologies, other factors like Fields and Custom fields offered by each platform creates a difference.

While HubSpot has approximately 200 standard Contact properties, Aritic PinPoint comes with six default fields with an option to create n-number of custom fields to suit your requirements.

We recommend you to have a long, hard look through your HubSpot export and pair the number of fields that you are sure you need. This will not only give you an upper hand while locating data but will also keep your team more organized.

Importing Contacts inside Aritic PinPoint

After you have completed exporting all of your contacts, you need to remove any fields that are not wanted and then save the file as a CSV file. If a segment doesn’t already exist in Aritic PinPoint, you will want to create one in. Here are the steps to create a static segment:

  1. Login to your Aritic PinPoint Dashboard, click on Contacts from the left side-bar, select segments.

2. Click on “New Segment”. Fill the initial entries such as Name, Alias, Description. You can leave the Filters as it is. Click on Save & Close to save this segment.

Your segment is now ready. You can start importing contacts inside Aritic Pinpoint.

3. From Aritic PinPoint, again Go to Contacts menu from left. On the top right corner of Contact, click on Drop and down menu select the Import Contacts button.

4. Upload the CSV file with contacts you want to import. Here is a sample file which you can update and use directly inside Aritic PinPoint to import the contacts smoothly.

5. On the next screen, the field mapping page should show up. Select owner, segment (this should be your above build static segment), and tags to assign globally to all imported contacts. Further, map the columns from your CSV to Aritic PinPoint contact custom fields. Click on Import option to start importing your contacts.

=6. Once the import process completes successfully, you can view the imported contacts inside your Static Segment.

Dynamic contents contain filters. It will update automatically as soon as contacts fulfill (or not) the conditions: Add contacts from a campaign action, Add contacts from a form action, Add contacts from the interface, Import contacts into segments.

[lore_alert_message type=”warning”]

Be careful: Contacts manually added into segments will not be removed even if they do not fulfill the condition’s filters. That’s why when importing contacts, we advise creating static segments only for imports. Then create dynamic segments that will seek contacts from the import. It’s better to avoid future issues with campaign scenarios.
