Business problem:
Currently, there is no direct way to import contacts from HubSpot into respond.io. Users have to manually export contacts from HubSpot and then import them into respond.io, which is inefficient and prone to errors.
Desired outcome:
  • Implement a feature within the HubSpot integration that allows users to import contacts directly into respond.io ideally during onboarding stage.
  • Enable options for manual selection of contact lists to be imported.
Use Cases:
  • Selective Import:
    Users can manually select specific contacts or contact lists in HubSpot to import into respond.io for targeted messaging campaigns.
  • Data Consistency:
    Regular synchronization keeps contact details consistent across both platforms, improving the effectiveness of marketing and support efforts.
The current workaround:
Users currently export contacts from HubSpot as CSV files and then manually import them into respond.io. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increases the risk of data inconsistencies due to human error.
