How to Import LinkedIn Contacts to HubSpot CRM

Now that you know how HubSpot LinkedIn integrations can make finding new leads easier.

Let's deep dive in how you can import contacts from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator.

Can I import LinkedIn contacts to HubSpot?

To import LinkedIn contacts into HubSpot, you can either export your LinkedIn connections as a CSV file or use a Chrome extension like Hublead.

Hublead helps by directly importing your LinkedIn connections and automatically updating your HubSpot contact list.

This makes your CRM smoother with updated HubSpot contacts and helps set up smart automations and workflows for your enterprise.

Export your LinkedIn Connections in CSV

Before your sales team can prospect, it's essential to have your LinkedIn contacts in HubSpot CRM.

Create Your Import File

To retrieve your LinkedIn connections:

Mapping HubSpot Contact Information Fields

The CSV should have a header row, and each column header should correspond to a property in HubSpot, check how to set up your import files.

Quick overview on the format of the file:

• Acceptable formats: .csv, .xlsx, or .xls.
• Limitations: Under 250,000 entries/rows and size below 150MB.

Meanwhile there is not mandatory properties to create HubSpot contacts properties we think it's better to have these essential properties:

• First Name (Do not forget to remove smileys!
• Last Name (Here also!)
• Email (Remove the free mails, here is a list of free mails)
• Company Name

In the LinkedIn export, you will get also these columns:

• LinkedIn URL
• Job title
• Connected On

You can add also manually:

• Connection degree (Obviously everyone will be 1rst)
• Contact source (Your network or other people network in your company)

You can also create a HubSpot static or active list to retrieve these contacts, I prefer active list based on Connection degree property.

Now Import the file and it will create company records and add new leads in your HubSpot CRM with every contact info.
