# How to specify HubSpot columns to export?

You may choose specific columns to import in the "Columns" setting. This is how the chosen columns will look:

If the "Columns" setting is left empty, we will import a list of *all* basic and custom columns available for the chosen data entity.

If you wish to import only specific columns, you can select them in the "Columns" setting picker one by one, or copy-paste the needed column names from an external file, or from the Transformations tab in Coupler.io. Coupler.io will preserve your inserted columns' order.

**Copy-pasting from an external file:**

**Copy-pasting from Transformations in Coupler.io:**

If you specify the column names manually, rather than importing all columns or selecting the available ones from the drop-down picker, please ensure that the internal Hubspot names are entered correctly, without any extra spaces or invisible characters. This will ensure that the data is properly displayed in your destination. Otherwise, you may only see the column headers without any corresponding data.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.coupler.io/sources/category/crm/hubspot/best-practices/how-to-specify-hubspot-columns-to-export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
