Import Contacts and Companies to Desk365

Importing contacts and companies into your helpdesk can be a tedious and time-consuming process. However, with Desk365, you can easily import contacts from your current ticketing system into our helpdesk solution.

In this help center article, we’ll guide you through the process on how to import contacts and companies into Desk365.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that Desk365 supports importing contacts from a CSV file.

Import Contacts:

Step 1: Download the Sample CSV File

To get started, you’ll need to download the sample CSV file provided by Desk365. This file contains the necessary columns and headers required to import contacts into Desk365. You can download the sample CSV file by clicking on ‘Import’ from the Accounts > Contacts > All Contacts tab.

Step 2: Update the CSV File with Your Contacts

Once you’ve downloaded the sample CSV file, you’ll need to update it with the list of contacts you want to import into Desk365.

You’ll need to fill in the details for each contact in the appropriate column. If you don’t have the Company Name for a particular contact, you can leave that column empty and manually associate the contact with its respective company later.

We recommend testing the import process with a sample of 5 to 10 contacts initially to ensure that everything is working as expected.
