Import customers

Bring your existing customers in from a CSV file.

Available onWebsite

Bring in the customer list you already keep in a spreadsheet. Anyone already on your list is matched, not added twice.

First save your spreadsheet as a CSV file: one row per customer, with a header row. Excel and Google Sheets both can.

Choose the options

On the dashboard, open Customers and click Import. Add a tag to find this batch later, and choose whether to skip customers you already have or hold everyone for review. Click Continue.

Options: a tag for everyone, skip matches, hold for review

Choose the file

Drop your CSV file in, or click to browse. Click Continue.

customers.csv: 5 rows, 5 columns

Match the columns

For each column, choose what it holds, or Don't import. Click Import.

Match columns: name, email, phone and note matched, last car left out

Good to know

  • What a column can be: name, email, phone, address, birthday, company, note or tag.
  • Up to 15 MB and 10,000 rows at a time.
  • Someone you already have: their blanks are filled in and a new number or address is added as an extra one. Nothing is overwritten. Tick Skip rows that match an existing customer to leave them as they are.
  • Hold for review: imported customers stay out of the list until someone accepts them. Useful when the file is messy.
  • You can leave the page while it imports.
  • Owners and managers can import.
