Import Clients from CSV

Already have a client list in a spreadsheet? Import them into FORGE in just a few clicks.

Preparing Your CSV

Your CSV file should have columns for client information. Common columns:
ColumnExample
NameJohn Smith
Email[email protected]
Phone(555) 123-4567
TagsVIP, Family
NotesPrefers window seats
The first row should be column headers. FORGE will use these to map your data.

Importing

  1. Go to CRM section
  2. Click Import
  3. Drag and drop your CSV file (or click to browse)
  4. FORGE shows your columns and sample data

Mapping Columns

For each column in your CSV:
  1. Select which FORGE field it maps to
  2. Available fields: Name, Email, Phone, Tags, Notes
  3. Leave unmapped columns as “Skip”
Name is required. All other fields are optional.

Preview & Confirm

Before importing:
  1. Review the preview showing how data will be imported
  2. Check for any duplicates (FORGE warns if emails already exist)
  3. Click Import Clients

After Import

Once imported:
  • Clients appear in your CRM list
  • You can edit any client to add more details
  • Start linking trips and adding notes

Tips

Export from your existing CRM or spreadsheet as CSV (comma-separated values) for best compatibility.
Large imports (500+ clients) may take a moment to process.
