## How to Choose

* Use **CSV file** for a fixed imported list.
* Use **HubSpot segment (list)** for a synced list.
* Use **HubSpot workflow** when HubSpot should drive enrollment.
* Use **Choose existing audience** if the audience already exists in First Touch.
* Use **Sales Navigator** for LinkedIn list imports.
* Use **Trigger manually** when enrollment is managed manually.

## Notes

* Some trigger types require a connected HubSpot account.
* Sales Navigator imports require an eligible LinkedIn or Sales Navigator setup.
