Import Your Instagram Followers Into HubSpot CRM
Export a structured followers list from Instagram Followers Exporter Pro and import it into HubSpot to surface prospects already in your Instagram audience, enrich contact records, and run targeted follow-up campaigns.
Last updated: March 6, 2026
The people who follow your brand or personal account on Instagram have already demonstrated interest in what you do. Instagram Followers Exporter Pro gives you a complete, structured list of those followers — including their bios, follower counts, and usernames. By importing that list into HubSpot, you can cross-reference it against existing contacts, create segments of your most valuable social followers, and run personalized outreach that references their Instagram connection.
Step-by-Step Guide
Export your Instagram followers list
Open Instagram Followers Exporter Pro while logged into your Instagram account:
- Click the extension icon and navigate to your Instagram profile page
- Wait for the extension to load your full followers list — large accounts may take several minutes
- Optionally filter for higher-quality accounts (minimum follower count 500+) to focus your CRM import on the most valuable contacts
- Click Export CSV to download your data
The export includes username, display name, follower count, following count, bio, post count, and verified status — enough information to evaluate prospect quality and personalize outreach.
Prepare your CSV for HubSpot import
HubSpot expects specific column headers for contact imports. Open your CSV in a spreadsheet editor and prepare the following columns:
- Create a First Name column from the display name (first word) and Last Name (remaining words), or leave as a single field mapped to a custom property
- Rename or map username → custom property Instagram Handle
- Rename or map bio → custom property Instagram Bio
- Rename or map followers_count → custom property Instagram Followers
- Add a Lead Source column with value Instagram Followers Export for all rows
- Add a Lifecycle Stage column with value Lead for all rows
Create the custom properties in HubSpot (Settings → Properties → Create property) before import to ensure clean field mapping.
Import contacts into HubSpot
In HubSpot, go to Contacts → Import → Start an import:
- Select File from computer → Contacts
- Upload your prepared CSV
- On the column mapping screen, map each CSV column to the correct HubSpot property — select from existing properties or create new ones inline
- Choose how to handle existing contacts: select Update existing contacts to enrich records where a match is found
- Review the import summary and click Finish import
HubSpot will process the import and show a completion report with the number of contacts created or updated. All imported contacts will be tagged with the import date in their timeline.
Create a prospect smart list from Instagram followers
Build a HubSpot Active List to segment your highest-value Instagram followers for outreach:
- Go to Contacts → Lists → Create list → Active list
- Name it Instagram Followers — Prospects
- Add filters:
- Lead Source = Instagram Followers Export
- Instagram Followers ≥ 1,000
- Lifecycle Stage = Lead or Subscriber (not yet Customer)
- Save the list
This list auto-updates as you import new followers snapshots. Use it as the enrollment trigger for a HubSpot outreach sequence, or as an email campaign audience for a product announcement targeting your social audience specifically.
Run a personalized Instagram-to-CRM outreach sequence
Use HubSpot Sequences to reach out to Instagram followers in your prospect list with personalized messages that reference their social connection:
- Create a new HubSpot Sequence called Instagram Follower Outreach
- Email 1 (Day 1): Reference their Instagram follow — "I noticed you follow [Brand] on Instagram and your profile mentions [their bio detail]…"
- LinkedIn Task (Day 3): Find their LinkedIn profile using their name and company (if available from the bio) and send a connection request referencing the Instagram follow
- Email 2 (Day 7): Share a relevant piece of content based on their bio interests
- Breakup email (Day 14): Low-pressure final touchpoint
Enroll your Instagram Followers — Prospects list into this sequence. Track response rates to identify which bio segments respond best to this approach.
