What this helps you do
This guide shows the supported Pixie CRM route for import customers and contacts, the values worth reviewing and the checks to make after the action.
Follow these steps
- Open Customers → Import in Pixie CRM.
- Start the task from that screen and select the correct customer, record, staff member or configuration context when Pixie CRM asks for one.
- Review the controls that matter for this task: Import file, Field mapping, Required customer/contact fields, Duplicate handling.
- Then check Import results. Use verified information and do not fill optional values with placeholders.
- Complete Import customers and contacts using the supported action on the screen. If Pixie CRM shows a validation message, correct the underlying value instead of bypassing the control.
- Save or submit the change and wait for the success or completed state before navigating away.
- Reopen the record, status, activity timeline or resulting document and verify that Pixie CRM recorded the outcome you intended.
