Steps to sync a HubSpot static list with Aloware
Create a static list in HubSpot
Navigate to the Lists section in HubSpot and create a new static list.
Add contacts to the list manually, through an import, or by applying a one-time filter to an existing group of contacts. Static lists remain fixed and won't update automatically.
Import the HubSpot static list to Aloware
Once the static list is complete in HubSpot, switch over to Aloware.
In Aloware’s admin, go to the Lists section and click the Create List button.
Select Import from HubSpot List and choose the static list you wish to import.
Choose whether to sync
By default, static lists are not set to sync. However, if desired, you can enable the "Keep list in sync with HubSpot" option during the import process, turning the static list into a dynamic one that reflects future updates in HubSpot.
Leaving this option unchecked keeps the list static in Aloware.
Confirmation and monitoring
Once the list is imported, you’ll receive a confirmation email, and the new list will appear in your Aloware dashboard.
Check the status of your list to ensure the import was successful.
When and how to update a static list
Unlike dynamic lists, static lists are manually created and edited in HubSpot. These can be updated in Aloware after you make any changes to the list in HubSpot:
Return to your static list in HubSpot and add or remove contacts as necessary.
Use the "Sync with HubSpot" option in Aloware Talk to manually fetch the updated version of this static list.
Converting a static list to a dynamic list
After importing the HubSpot list to Aloware, enable the "Keep list in sync with HubSpot" option. This effectively converts your HubSpot static list into a dynamic list in Aloware that will update based on your changes in HubSpot.

Key considerations for static lists
Static lists are ideal for groups of contacts that don't require frequent updates, such as those for a specific marketing campaign.
Changes to static lists should always be performed in HubSpot. Synced changes will reflect in Aloware only after manual synchronization.
Static lists maintain data consistency across platforms, offering predictable and reliable audience segmentation.
