Steps for Importing Contacts

When importing contacts into your CRM, there are three essential steps to follow: Upload, Map, and Details. The process begins with uploading the contact data file, followed by mapping the fields to ensure proper alignment with your CRM's structure, and finally, reviewing and confirming the details to guarantee accuracy and completeness. This systematic approach ensures a seamless integration of new contacts into your existing database.

Upload

The first step is uploading the contacts from your device. Before you upload the contact, make sure your file is ready to be imported:

All files being imported into the system must:

  • Be a .csv file

  • Have only one spreadsheet

  • Be smaller than 50MB (tip: a typical .csv file with 4 columns and 10,000 records will be ~500kb in size)

  • Include a header row in which at least one column header corresponds to a field in the system (i.e, the First and last name, Phone number, Email etc.) for

    3. Both

      • Choose 'Both' in Step 3 of the Import Flow

Map

Once you've chosen the correct CSV to upload, it's easy to match your columns from that file with the contact fields in our system. Take a look at the designated preview column to get an overview of how well these columns are matched. You can select from the dropdowns to ensure the correct information is matched in your CRM, or choose which columns from your CSV you would not like uploaded into your CRM. Plus, the huge benefit of this matching capability makes it so you won't have to laboriously reformat any details for different base systems.

NOTE: If you have an unmatched column(s), tick the "Don't import data in unmatched column" box to move to the next step.
