It is possible to import existing contacts (stored in spreadsheets or other platforms) into Axonaut using templates.

2. Then, download a template file.

Click, ‘Templates & Help‘. Please read the instructions carefully and use the template for a stress-free upload.

3. Prepare contact data for import.

Using the template as a guide, create a file (.csv, .tsv, .xls, .xlsx or .xml) with all the customer data you wish to upload into Axonaut. The key is to use the columns provided by Axonaut can it can sort the information correctly.
