Adding customers

The Customers tab is a database of your customers. By placing them in the CRM, in addition to collecting all information about the customer in one place (including phone number, email address, address details) you can see the entire history of contact with them.

You can add customers to the CRM in two ways - by adding individuals (or companies) or by importing ready-made databases in CSV format.

Importing customers (companies) from CSV files

Did you know...💡

CSV is a format for storing data in text files. This format is supported by most popular office packages (including Microsoft Office, LibreOffice).

If you want to add more people to the CRM, it is best if you import a ready-made file in CSV format. Go to the Customers tab, expand the file button and select Import people from CSV file (Import companies from CSV file) - we'll show you how to do this with an example of adding a group of people.

file

You will be taken to the import page.

file

Attach the CSV file with the record database - click file. Remember that your file should have headers. A table with imported data will be displayed on the screen. Match the headers from the file to the headers in the database (data mapping process). Unmatched headers will be highlighted in red.

file

Did you know...💡

By clicking the cross next to the column headers in the database, you can delete the selected column - it will then not be downloaded from the CSV file.

Checking the Update existing records option will allow you to update existing records already in the database without adding them again. If a customer appears in the file that is in the CRM then only additional data will be completed.

Recognition of records can be done by:

  • ID
  • phone number
  • e-mail address
  • PESEL number
  • TIN

file

By expanding the option "Show advanced" you can set:

  • how Polish characters are encoded
    • UTF-8 - default
    • ISO 8859-2
    • Windows 1250
  • how columns are separated
    • comma (,) - default
    • semicolon (;)
    • colon (:)
    • tab (-)

The parameters should be the same as in the file you are attaching.

file

If the data matches, click the file button. You will receive a message that the import is complete and you will be transferred to the list of customers.

Important...⚠️

To correctly import gender the format in the file should be: F - for female, M - for male.


Verification of duplicates

If you enter, for example, an email address that already exists in the CRM when adding a new customer (person or company), the system will display a window stating that the email is already assigned to an existing customer along with a link to their card.

file

When adding a customer, the following data is checked:

  • phone number
  • e-mail address
  • company name

The same mechanism works when editing a particular card:
