Customer import is one of the 11 things in customers & crm. See the rest →

What you get
  • Import customers from a spreadsheet by mapping your own columns to the fields
  • Rows that cannot be imported come back with the row number and the reason
  • Import from fourteen rival systems, including ServiceM8, Jobber, Commusoft, Tradify and Workiz
  • By file export, or by connecting the old system’s API where it has one
  • Every import keeps a record of what came in, what failed and when it ran
Where it fits

Step 06 of the job: paid

The customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Direct Debit. Xero or QuickBooks are updated. A review request goes out. And eleven months later, the annual service reminder books the next job.

Customers & CRM is where customer import sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

What is customer import for?

Import customers from a spreadsheet by mapping your own columns to the fields Rows that cannot be imported come back with the row number and the reason

Can I bring my customer list with me?

Yes. A CSV from a spreadsheet or from most systems, or a direct import from ServiceM8, Workiz, Commusoft and Jobber that brings the jobs, quotes and invoices too. Nothing is left behind on purpose.

What about landlords and agents with many properties?

They are one customer with many sites. Each property keeps its own address, access notes, certificates and job history, and the invoice still goes to the agent.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Customer import is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
