When starting with InTouch, you may have existing leads or members in a separate database. InTouch can import a CSV file of these contact records into your site.
Data File Requirements
Send your data as you want it imported. InTouch does not scrub data, check for duplicate records, or compare lead records to member records, etc. If you would like help with your files, please speak with your InTouch rep prior to sending your import file.
File Format
- .csv format preferred, but any any Excel format should be okay
- Submit dates in YYYY-MM-DD format (3/1/2014 can mean March 1st for some and January 3rd for others - don't leave it to chance (or Excel) to decide which to use!)
Required Fields
- First Name
- Last Name
- Lead Created Date (this will set the life cycle and drip communication start dates)

- If contact is to be imported as a former Member, you must include:
