Imports contacts into HubSpot from any source — a CSV file, a pasted list, or data from connected apps like Gmail. Handles field mapping, duplicate detection, batch import, and company association. ALWAYS use this skill when the user wants to bring contacts into HubSpot — "import contacts", "upload a CSV", "add these people to HubSpot", "import my list", "bring in contacts from \[source\]", "I have a spreadsheet of contacts", "add contacts from my email", "migrate contacts", "sync contacts from \[app\]", "load my network". Trigger whenever the user wants to bulk-add people to the CRM, regardless of source.

## From README

Import Contacts Tool names below are expected names for the HubSpot MCP connector. If a named tool isn't available, check for updates to the skill and/or alternates in the HubSpot toolset as available tools may change --- Phase 1 — Identify the data source Use this priority order: Infer from context — if the user attached a file, said "from my CSV", "from Salesforce", or similar, proceed directly to Phase 2 with that source. Check connected services — silently test which connectors are available (attempt a lightweight tool call for each). Build a dynamic list of sources to offer. Ask if the source isn't clear. Ask as plain text — no widget. Build the question based on what connectors are available: If connected services are detected, list them under a heading, then offer the manual options: If no connectors are detected: For connected email provider: Use the connector's search/thread tools to find recent contacts. Extract unique senders and recipients from recent threads.
