What can an AI agent do with
Import records into your CRM?
Lets the agent bulk import records, which can create new records or change existing ones, across every type of record.
How to spot it
On a HubSpot connection or settings screen, this is crm.import.
With it, an agent can
- Create many records at once
- Change existing records in bulk
It cannot, on its own
- Export your data (that needs crm.export)
What a bad day looks like
One bad import file overwrites thousands of existing records at once, and fixing it by hand takes days.
Set it up safer
- Use a single-object permission like crm.objects.contacts.write for small changes
- Require a preview you approve before any import runs
Narrower permissions on HubSpot:
- Create, change, and delete contacts
crm.objects.contacts.write
Ask the company selling the agent
- When would the agent run an import?
- Can I preview an import before it runs?
- How would I undo a bad import?
