How do I import a spreadsheet of my contacts into AgencyBuzz?

    2. Export Contacts - to download a spreadsheet of the contact records currently in your AgencyBuzz account.
  6. Review the AgencyBuzz import policy prohibiting the use of purchased, leased, or rented email lists. Check I agree to the terms above to acknowledge your compliance and click continue.

    6. Select Office Location - If you want to associate all contacts in this spreadsheet with a specific office location, select the location name under office location.
  8. Define Field Mappings
    1. For each Source Column (the column names from the spreadsheet you are importing) select a Destination Field (a data field in AgencyBuzz) for each item to tell the system where to put the data from your spreadsheet.
    2. If there is no destination field available for a source column, select ignore column.
    3. Ignore Business Rules on Import: Check the box next to Ignore Business Rules on Import if you do not want new/updated records from this data import to trigger your activated automated events, such as contact inserted or updated into line of business.

    4. Click Start Import to add the contacts to your account.
