Import New Contacts with Communications and Relate to Existing Contact

Scroll Prev Top Next More

In this scenario we are going to import new contacts who are not in the system and these contacts will have a communication entry plus they are going to be related to a contact who exists in the system.

The spreadsheet requires a Supporter ID for the new contact so you can use this with the Relationship table.

The IDs for each sheet are:

Contact: Supporter ID

Communications: Comm Supporter ID

Relationship (Parent): Supporter A ID

Relationship (Child): Supporter B ID

The tables used in this import are the Contact Table, Communication Table and Relationship Table.
