  • Ability to create and edit contacts

  • API access turned on (necessary for automatic syncing)

Import Steps

Here's how to import your Telegram contacts into HubSpot using CRM Chat's integration tools.

Link CRM Chat to HubSpot

  1. Open CRM Chat in Telegram.

  2. Go to Settings > Integrations.

  3. Select HubSpot, click Connect, and authorize access.

  4. Verify the connection by checking the status indicator.

Get Contact Data from Telegram

After connecting, use CRM Chat's Folder Sync feature to pull your contact data:

  • Enable Folder Sync

    In CRM Chat settings, turn on Folder Sync to automatically gather your Telegram contacts and groups. This ensures all relevant information is captured.

  • Export Contact Data

    Once Folder Sync is active, export your contacts as a CSV file or sync them directly with Google Sheets.

Set Up Contact Field Matching

Match Telegram fields to the right HubSpot properties to ensure accurate data import:

To keep your data up-to-date, enable auto-sync.

Set Up Auto-Sync

  • Configure Sync Settings

    In the integration settings, set up automatic updates so any changes to your Telegram contacts are reflected in HubSpot.

  • Verify Sync Status

    Use CRM Chat's dashboard to monitor the sync status and confirm that updates are happening seamlessly. This removes the need for manual imports in the future.

Best Practices

Make the most of your Telegram-to-HubSpot integration by following these tips:

Keep Contact Data Clean

Clean and accurate contact data is key to effective CRM management. Use CRM Chat's duplicate check feature to spot and address duplicate entries before they sync with HubSpot.

Here’s how to maintain high-quality data:

  • Standardize formats for details like phone numbers and names.

  • Merge or delete duplicate entries.

  • Regularly update contact details to stay current.

  • Conduct periodic data reviews to ensure accuracy.

Add Custom Contact Fields

Custom fields let you track Telegram-specific details in HubSpot, providing deeper insights into your contacts' behavior and history. Consider adding fields like these:

Custom Field

Purpose

Example Value

Telegram Username

Track the contact's handle

@username

Group Membership

Identify relevant Telegram groups

Investors, Partners

Engagement Level

Monitor activity level

Active, Warm, Cold

First Contact Date

Once set up, you can pair these fields with automation tools to make your workflows more efficient.

Set Up Time-Saving Automations

Roman Potapenko from Superprotocol highlights the benefits of automation:

"My favorite feature is assigning tasks directly within our groups to team members and receiving a morning digest of what's been completed. Now, we run all our deal flow on Telegram without needing any other tools."

Here are some automation ideas to streamline your processes:

  • Schedule daily digest reports to keep your team updated.

  • Automatically assign tasks based on contact activity.

  • Build workflows for seamless follow-ups with new contacts.
