Importing contacts

If you already have a list of contacts elsewhere — a spreadsheet of buyers, a CSV exported from another system — you can bring them all into Artlook at once, rather than adding them one by one.

Open Import Contacts from the System Menu (click your login name at the top right) to start the import wizard.

1. Choose file

Upload a spreadsheet or CSV file (Excel .xlsx, .xls, CSV, or plain text, up to 10MB). Leave The first row contains column headings ticked if your file starts with a header row — Artlook uses it to help match up columns in the next step.

2. Match columns

Artlook guesses which column in your file maps to which contact field (First name, Email, and so on) — check its guesses and fix anything that looks wrong.

3. Review & import

Review the contacts as Artlook has understood them. Nothing is saved to your database until you click Import on this final step, so it’s safe to work through the wizard and check everything before committing.
