The suitable extensions for the documents to import are .CSV, .DSV, .TSV.
Your file should include a header row. The column names in a header row could't contain any symbols.
Required field: phone number (in the international format). To import contacts with multiple phone numbers create separate columns with labels for each phone number in your spreadsheet.
If you are importing a database without real phone numbers, create an additional column in your file and fill it with the same number for all contacts (minimum 6 digits).
You can include values for any of the default Voiptime Cloud fields (First name, Last name, Phone number, Email, Phone type) and/or create new fields in Project settings (Project - EDIT).
To add extra fields into your client card, open the default Project in Voiptime Cloud. Go to the Projects tab:
Pay attention to every field in the chart.
Fields | Requirements |
---|---|
Pay attention! | Every value should have a separate field. In case you have several emails or phone numbers, dedicate a separate field to each of them. Fill in the required field (phone number) before import! |
First name | 2-100 Latin and Cyrillic symbols, numbers. |
Last name | 2-100 Latin and Cyrillic symbols, numbers. |
Phone number | 6 - 34 numbers, special marks "+ -() " without spaces. The system will remove all spaces automatically except the spaces after the values. |
