Importing clients from a spreadsheet

Importing clients from a spreadsheet

Bring your client list over in one go from a CSV file, rather than typing it in one at a time.

Nobody is retyping two hundred clients. If you have them in a spreadsheet, and everyone does, bring the file.

Doing it

  1. Go to your clients page and choose Import CSV.
  2. Upload your file.
  3. Check what Vylan read back to you.
  4. Confirm. Your clients are in.

Getting the file ready

A CSV is what you get from Save as or Export in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets. One row per client, with at least a name and an email address.

Tidy the spreadsheet before you import rather than after. Fixing a column in Excel takes a minute. Fixing two hundred client records by hand does not.

Duplicates

Importing a list that overlaps with clients you already have is normal, and Vylan flags the overlap rather than silently doubling everyone up.
