Prepare owner assignment columns for HubSpot import

Owner assignment data is easy to mis-map. TidyImports highlights column mapping and validation issues so you can confidently import contacts and companies with the right ownership fields.

How owner assignment works in HubSpot imports

HubSpot uses hubspot_owner_id (a numeric ID) or owner email to assign records during import. Mapping a freeform "Owner" column to the right property requires care.

Common mistakes

• Using owner names instead of owner IDs or emails.
• Mapping to the wrong property (e.g. contact owner vs company owner).
• Blank owner values that should default to a specific user.
