ACCOUNT AND CONTACT IMPORTS · Workflow idea

Turn a contact sheet into proposed customer records—not unchecked changes.

Use a person-selected spreadsheet of contacts and organization names to prepare a customer-record update. Check whether each organization already exists, identify which records may need to be added or updated, and show the proposed changes for an owner to approve before writing them.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person-selected sheet containing contact details and organization names

“Compare the selected rows with existing customer records, prepare missing organization and contact changes, and hold all writes for human approval.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team bring spreadsheet-based organization and contact details into its customer records with duplicate checks and a clear review step.

  1. Select the intended sheet and rows

    Confirm the spreadsheet, the tab, and the records its owner wants considered.

  2. Check contact and organization fields

    Review required names and details, and flag missing or inconsistent values instead of filling gaps.

  3. Find existing organizations

    Compare organization names with current records and surface possible matches for a person to verify.

  4. Prepare account and contact changes

    Show which organizations appear new and which contact records may be added or updated.

  5. Verify permission and preferences

    Confirm the team may store the contact details and preserve any existing opt-out or communication preference.

  6. Approve the exact changes

    Have an authorized owner review the proposed organization and contact changes before they are saved.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewed preview showing matched organizations, proposed additions or updates, and rows needing clarification.

Keep in mind

Names may not uniquely identify an organization, and contact details may be outdated or lack permission for business use. Verify each match, data-use basis, and contact preference; require an authorized person to approve the exact record changes. Importing a contact does not authorize outreach.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the spreadsheet and expected columns

Select the source sheet and document the organization and contact fields it should contain.

Define organization matching rules

Agree how similar names, missing values, and possible duplicates are shown for human resolution.

Set contact-data and approval boundaries

Name who verifies data-use permission, contact preferences, and approval for record changes.

Test existing and new organization cases

Check matched, unmatched, incomplete, and duplicate rows and ensure nothing changes before approval.
