Steps

  1. POST to /crm/v3/objects/contacts/batch/upsert with a JSON body containing an inputs array
  2. Each input object must have an idProperty field (the property name to match on, e.g., email) and a properties map of fields to set
  3. Include an id field if upserting by the internal HubSpot record ID, or omit id and use idProperty with a unique property value
  4. Check the results array in the response; each item has a status of CREATED or UPDATED and the resulting record
  5. Handle RATE_LIMIT errors with exponential backoff and retry — the batch endpoint shares the same rate limits as individual calls
