Import Contacts with Relationships

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The following are the steps to import new contacts with relationships into thankQ.

A spreadsheet is required with a supporter id number to link the contact and their relationships. If these were existing contacts their serial numbers should be used instead of the supporter id you create.

The first sheet consists of the contact details. Add the Default address to create a household and to add the default address to the partner’s record. The Household Envelope and Letter salutations should be inserted also.

The second sheet consists of the relationship details. Parent is the contact you are matching and the Child is the contact being matched as the related contact.
