  • In this pop-up window, you can see the drop-down lists show existing fields on a contact record that can be mapped. This mapping exercise aims to align the columns in your file with the fields in BetterUnite contact records. 
  • Regardless of what your CSV column is titled, you can map it to a contact record field. If you use our template, the mapping is easier because it'll automatically match the column names.

  • On the confirmation page shown below, you can see the contacts that are imported. This section also shows whether a contact was created new or updated.
