Importing Accounts from Your CRM
Once your CRM (Salesforce or HubSpot) is connected, you can import accounts into Cora. Filters let you control which accounts are brought in.1
Open the Import Dialog
- Navigate to the Accounts page.
- Click New Account.
- Click Sync from Salesforce or Sync from HubSpot.

Add Filters
Add one or more filters to select which accounts to import. You can filter on any available field from your CRM, for example, by industry, region, lifecycle stage, record type, or account tier. Supported operators include equals, not equals, greater/less than, contains, and in/not in a list.

Preview
Click Preview to review results across three tabs:
- New to import — CRM accounts that match your filters and are not yet in Cora
- Already in Cora — accounts already imported that still match the filters
- No longer matching — accounts already imported that no longer match the filters

Import
Click Request Import to begin.The import runs in the background. New accounts/companies will be created as accounts in Cora, or linked to existing ones if a match is found.Importing saves your filters and keeps accounts in sync.If an account’s name changes in your CRM, Cora will update it automatically.If an account no longer matches your filters, it will be deleted from Cora.
Account Ownership Sync
Ownership sync maps CRM fields to Cora team roles, so the right team members are associated with each account. This powers the ownership filters on the Accounts and Signals tabs.Setting Up Ownership Sync
1
Navigate and open ownership sync
- Navigate to the Accounts page.
- Click New Account, then Sync from Salesforce or Sync from HubSpot.
- Switch to the Account Ownership tab.
- Toggle Enable ownership sync on.

Configure field mappings
For each field mapping, configure:
- Field — select a CRM field that references a user (for example, an owner or lookup field)
- Role — choose the role to assign: Account Owner or Manager
- Their mgr toggle (Salesforce only) — when enabled, Cora resolves the manager of the person in the mapped field via Salesforce’s user hierarchy, rather than the person themselves. Use this to automatically assign a Manager role to the reporting manager of the account owner or CSM.

Filtering by Ownership
Once ownership sync is configured, the Accounts and Signals tabs display a filter with three options:- All Accounts — shows every account (default)
- My Accounts — shows only accounts where you have the Account Owner role
- My Team’s Accounts — shows accounts where you have the Manager role (that is, accounts owned by your direct reports)
