1 Import your blog into HubSpot as a CSV file
If your blog isn’t compatible with the smart copy import feature, you can import your blog content into HubSpot using a CSV file. Based on this sample CSV file, gather the content for each of your existing blog posts. Then import this file to generate new blog posts in HubSpot that are populated with your existing blog content.
Before you get started
- When you create your HubSpot account, there will be a new default blog in your account you can use to import your blog posts. You can create a new blog instead or customize the blog in your blog settings.
- There’s a sample CSV file available to format your blog content for your import.
- Note that the following fields in your CSV import file are required.
