Introduction to Data Importing

    Bring your existing contacts, companies, and deals into Pipeline CRM in minutes — no need to start from a blank account.

    What You Can Import

    • Companies, People, and Deals — each imported separately.
    • File types: CSV, Excel, or vCard.

    How Importing Works, at a High Level

    1. Prepare your file — Match your spreadsheet columns to Pipeline CRM's fields (system fields or your own custom fields).
    2. Choose what to import — Go to the Companies, Deals, or People list and select Import. See Import Your CSV or Excel File for the full walkthrough.
    3. Map your columns — Tell Pipeline CRM which column maps to which field.
    4. Review and confirm — Pipeline CRM flags potential duplicates and errors before anything is created.
    5. Undo if needed — Imports can be undone as a batch if something looks off.

    💡 Tip: Migrating from another CRM like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive? Export your data as CSV first, then follow the same import flow.
