BULK RECORD INTAKE · Workflow idea

Bring a batch of records into your shared list with a clear review first.

Select a CSV file and prepare its rows for a chosen business list, such as contacts, prospects, or clients. Show the field choices, record count, and exceptions together so a data owner can verify the complete batch before any records are added.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person-selected CSV containing records approved for a particular business list

“Read the selected file, prepare a preview of the proposed records and field matches, and wait for an authorized owner to approve the batch before it is added.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team prepare a large set of records for a shared list without entering every row individually.

  1. Select the approved file and destination

    Confirm which file is being imported, who supplied it, and which business list is intended to receive the records.

  2. Check the file’s rows and headings

    Review the record count, column names, blank values, and unusual rows before preparing the proposed additions.

  3. Match file fields to the destination

    Show where each selected column would appear and flag any heading or value whose meaning is unclear.

  4. Review duplicates and information scope

    Compare likely existing records and check that each included field is needed and permitted for the intended team use.

  5. Approve the full batch before adding records

    Require an authorized owner to inspect the complete preview, destination, and access before approving the import; keep rejected rows visible for follow-up.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A preview of the proposed records with field mapping, row count, and exceptions visible, held until an authorized person approves the exact import.

Keep in mind

A batch can contain incorrect, repeated, or unnecessary personal information, and a field may not mean what its heading suggests. Verify the source, consent or permitted use, mapping, duplicates, and access; require a person to approve the complete batch before it changes shared records.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose accepted files and destinations

Define the allowed file source, record types, and business lists that may receive an import.

Document field matching and required values

Agree on column meanings, required fields, handling for empty or unexpected values, and how the record count is presented.

Set duplicate, privacy, and approval rules

Choose how possible matches are flagged, restrict personal details to appropriate users, and name the owner who approves each batch.

Test small and problematic files

Check a typical file, missing fields, repeated records, and unexpected columns; confirm no record is added before approval.
