You can bulk upload customers to the Commusoft system at any point. This can be achieved by importing a CSV file. Bulk uploading your customers’ information saves you the time and hassle of having to input them all individually. This means that you can upload up to 5,000 at one time (please note that you would not be able to upload any more than this in one spreadsheet).
You can use this area to update customers too. Please note: in order for an update to occur, rather than a full import, the full address will need to be identical (address line 1, 2, 3, town, county, and postcode will need to match).
If you’d like to see how to add customers individually, you can see that article here.
Bulk uploading your customers’ information saves you the time and hassle of having to input them all individually. This means that you can upload up to 5,000 at one time (please note that you would not be able to upload any more than this in one spreadsheet).
- First, open ‘Company settings’, from the ‘General settings’ section select ‘Importing data’.
- You’ll need to create a spreadsheet in CSV format in order to import your information. You can do this in Excel or Google sheets (you can see a list of the required and available column headings here, included in our guide to cleaning your data).
- This will take you to the 'Import customer” page. There are a number of steps listed here to help you when uploading your spreadsheet, as well as a checkbox to let the system know if you have included a title row of your own to avoid confusion.
- You will need to select the appropriate headings corresponding to the columns you’ve included, although the system may recognise and pick up on these (if Commusoft incorrectly titles a column you can just choose another).
- When you’re happy with the column headings just click ‘Save’ to begin the import. You will be redirected to the settings page and you’ll receive an email notification informing you that the import has taken place.
