Prereq: read bulk operations/SKILL.md first — JSONL piping, dry run/digest, history, and rate limit hygiene live there. This skill is the upsert by natural key workflow on top.
The core move: upsert, not search then create
hubspot objects upsert type X id property <natural key reads JSONL on stdin and creates or updates each row in one CLI call (the CLI batches 100 rows per API request), keyed by a property (email for contacts, domain for companies). No race window, no branching. Do not loop search → empty? → create .
Per line in: {"id":"jane@example.com","properties":{"firstname":"Jane","jobtitle":"VP"}}
Per line out: {"id":"123","ok":true,"data":{...}} or {"ok":false,"error":{...}} . Order matches input. The CLI adds no fields of its own — data is the raw batch upsert API result row.
CSV/JSONL → upsert stream
Reshape with jq , preview with dry run , then execute. upsert is irreversible, so the execute step re pipes the SAME inputs plus the digest / confirm lifted from the preview line (upsert confirm = the row count, always). Always lowercase the natural key — CRM match is exact. Confirm available property names with hubspot properties list type contacts ; never hard code a list. See bulk operations/resources/json patterns.md for reshape idioms.
Companies: swap type companies id property domain and reshape with .domain ascii downcase as id .
Handle per record OK / error output
Split with jq , inspect failure modes, retry just the failures after fixing the inputs:
The CLI does not tag rows as created vs updated. If the batch upsert API result row carries a new boolean, jq r '.data.new' /tmp/upsert.ok.jsonl sort uniq c splits them; otherwise compare .data.createdAt against .data.updatedAt .
429s: split the input and rerun smaller chunks (see bulk operations rate limit notes). 400s usually mean a bad property name or invalid enum value — fix the reshape, rerun the failed inputs.
Destructive op safety
upsert itself is non destructive, but write back can clobber populated fields. Always dry run first and spot check. For bulk delete or overwrite of existing data, follow the dry run → digest → confirm flow in bulk operations/SKILL.md . Recovery: hubspot history since 1h .
Match without upsert: OR search → update
When you only want to read matches (no write back), or the natural key isn't a CRM property, use repeated filter flags — each flag is one OR group.
Verified cap: 5 OR groups per call . 6+ returns 400 too many filterGroups (count: N, max allowed: 5) . Chunk 5 at a time:
For larger keyed enrichments, prefer upsert — one pipeline, no chunking math.
