Data Import Details

Import Behavior & Duplicate Handling

When you are submitting a second/additional data import request:

  • The system de-duplicates based on primary phone number.

    • If the same phone number already exists, it will be skipped.

    • If no phone number exists, all entries will be imported.

  • You can choose to delete and re-import your data if corrections are needed.


Data Preparation Tips

Before submitting your import file, if you can, please proceed with instruction below:

  1. Include a unique Client ID column if possible for better matching.

  2. Place clients and pets in the same sheet, with matching Client IDs.


For Repeated Imports

There are two common cases:

  • Re-importing:
    Deletes all previous client, pet, message, and appointment data, then re-imports the file.

  • Adding data:
    New clients will be imported; duplicates (based on phone number) will be skipped.
