This page will explain imports, club responsibilities of an import, data requirements and how data should be formatted.
...
When starting with InTouch, clubs often have existing leads or members in a separate database.
...
InTouch can import a .csv file of these contact records into your site(s).
...
Benefits
...
The benefit of a lead import is easy - less data entry for you! An import also allows for
...
certain dates to be backdated so that the lead falls into the appropriate followup schedule. For example, a 2-week old lead will show as a 2-week old lead instead of a 1 day old lead if you were to enter it manually. The benefit of a member import is having the ability to assign Member Retention followup, to send an email to all members, and for our referral feature of linking an existing member to a new lead.
