The Scenario
You're a sales systems admin who has been handed a project: build a HubSpot integration with Specific. Before you write a single line of configuration, you need to know what custom fields exist in Specific, what entity types they belong to — company, contact, or conversation — and what data types they use. The developer who originally set up Specific left the company four months ago. There's no documentation.
The bad version:
- You log into Specific and navigate to the settings area where custom fields are managed. You find a list of fields but there's no bulk export — you'd have to copy each field's name, code, entity type, and data type by hand.
- You start building a spreadsheet manually. By field 15, you realize some fields are duplicated across entity types with slightly different names — 'Deal Stage' on companies versus 'deal_stage' on contacts. You'll need to reconcile those before mapping to HubSpot.
- You spend two hours on the exercise, end up with 34 rows, and still aren't sure you got everything. There's no way to verify the list is complete without going back through the settings UI row by row.
You needed a complete field catalog. You got a partial one, built manually, that you can't easily verify.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It connects to Specific through the built-in integration and can pull all custom field definitions — names, codes, entity types, and data types — into the sheet in one pass. No settings UI navigation, no hand-copying.
List all custom fields defined in Specific and write field name, field code, entity type, and field type into columns A through D of this Google Sheet — one row per custom field
What You Get
- Every custom field in your Specific instance written into the sheet, one per row.
- Field name, field code, entity type (company, contact, or conversation), and field type each in separate columns.
- A complete catalog you can hand to a developer or use directly to map fields in HubSpot's integration settings.
- The full list in one pass — no risk of missing fields because you got bored clicking through the UI.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You only need fields for a specific entity type
Fetch all Specific custom fields filtered by entity type 'company' and write each field's name, code, and type into this sheet for documentation
You want to flag fields that appear across multiple entity types
List all Specific custom fields and write field name (A), field code (B), entity type (C), and field type (D) into this sheet — then flag any field name that appears in more than one entity type with 'MULTI-ENTITY' in column E
You want to cross-reference against HubSpot property names
List all Specific custom fields and write field name (A), field code (B), and entity type (C) into this sheet — then for each field name, check whether a matching property exists in column A of the 'HubSpot Properties' tab and write 'MAPPED' or 'UNMAPPED' into column D
Full catalog-and-mapping-prep in one shot
List all Specific custom fields, write field name (A), field code (B), entity type (C), field type (D) — flag any field name appearing in multiple entity types as 'MULTI-ENTITY' in column E, and for each field check the 'HubSpot Properties' tab to mark 'MAPPED' or 'UNMAPPED' in column F
Build the complete catalog and the mapping gap analysis in a single prompt — so the HubSpot integration spec writes itself.
