The staging layer between your CSV and HubSpot

See exactly what's about to change in your HubSpot CRM — before you import.

Preflight validates your CSV, shows a full diff of creates, updates, blocked rows, and skipped records, and lets you push approved records safely — without touching HubSpot until you're ready.

Surprises in HubSpot

The problem

What happens when you import blind

Most teams discover import damage after it's already in HubSpot. Preflight gives you full visibility before anything is written.

Without Preflight

Upload CSV directly to HubSpot

Hope the column mapping is right

Overwrite existing data with empty fields

Create hundreds of duplicate contacts

Spend hours cleaning up the mess

No record of what changed or why

With Preflight

Upload CSV to a safe staging environment

Headers auto-mapped to HubSpot properties

Empty fields are ignored — no overwrites

Duplicates detected and blocked automatically

Review every change before it touches HubSpot

Full audit trail for every import

How it works

Three steps to safe imports

Preflight sits between your CSV and HubSpot. Upload, preview, then push — with full control at every step.

Step 1

Upload your CSV

Drag and drop your file. Preflight parses headers, normalizes emails, validates formatting, and catches duplicates — all before touching HubSpot.

  • Auto header mapping
  • Email validation
  • Duplicate detection
  • Up to 10,000 rows
Step 2

Preview the diff

Every row is classified: create, update, skip, or block. For updates, you see the exact field-level changes — current value vs. incoming value.

  • Field-by-field comparison
  • Color-coded classifications
  • Blocked row explanations
  • Filter and search
Step 3

Push with confidence

Approve the staged changes and push. Only creates and updates are sent. Blocked and skipped rows never touch HubSpot.

  • Batched API calls
  • Partial failure handling
  • Push count tracking
  • Permanent audit record

Features

Everything you need for safe HubSpot imports

Preflight isn't just a validator — it's a staging layer with full diff visibility, so you can import with confidence every time.

Staged diff preview

The hero feature. See every field that will change, side by side with the current HubSpot value. Creates, updates, blocks, and skips — all classified before you push.

Smart validation

Missing emails, invalid formats, duplicate rows within the CSV — all caught and blocked automatically. The only required field is email. No over-validation.

Auto header mapping

30+ common CSV header variations automatically mapped to HubSpot properties. 'First Name', 'first_name', 'firstname' — they all resolve to the right field.

Empty field protection

If your CSV has a blank value for a field, Preflight won't overwrite the existing HubSpot data. This single rule prevents the most common import disaster.

Batched push

Records are pushed to HubSpot in efficient batches of 100 using the official batch API. Rate limits are respected. If a batch fails, the rest still go through.

Full audit trail

Every upload, every staging result, every push — stored permanently. When someone asks 'what changed?', you have the answer with the exact file and timestamp.

Who it's for

Built for the people who own the CRM

You maintain data quality across the GTM stack. Preflight gives you a review layer so imports don't bypass your standards.

Sales Ops

You handle list imports from events, partners, and enrichment tools. Preflight shows you exactly what will change before reps see it.

HubSpot Admins

You're responsible when something breaks. Preflight gives you an audit trail and the confidence that imports won't corrupt your data.

FAQ

Common questions

What happens during the 14-day trial?

You get full access to every feature — upload CSVs, preview diffs, and push approved records to HubSpot. Nothing is locked or limited during the trial.

Does Preflight modify my HubSpot data automatically?

Never. Preflight only reads your existing contacts for comparison during the staging phase. Absolutely nothing is written to HubSpot until you explicitly review the staging report and click the push button.

What's the maximum file size?

Preflight supports up to 10,000 rows per CSV upload. For larger datasets, split your file into multiple imports. Each import gets its own staging report and audit record.

Which HubSpot fields are supported?

Preflight auto-maps 30+ common CSV header variations to standard HubSpot contact properties (name, email, company, phone, job title, address fields, and more). Any unrecognized columns are passed through as-is — they may match custom properties in your HubSpot account.

What if my CSV has empty values for some fields?

Empty values are never treated as changes. If a field is blank in your CSV but has a value in HubSpot, Preflight will not overwrite it. This is one of the most important safety features.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your billing settings at any time. You'll keep access through the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees.

Do I need to install anything in HubSpot?

No. Preflight connects via HubSpot's standard OAuth flow. You authorize read and write access to contacts, and that's it. No HubSpot marketplace installation or CRM card setup required.
