import contacts
Hello. I´m having this issue of importing contacts with company names. I applied the strategy of uploading the list of companies to 20, and than dowloading the list from 20 which gave me company ids. I filled up my list with the correspondent company (id) but the app cannot tie the contact with the list of companies previously uploaded. Is there any solution for this?

So you have a contact object, which has a relation with a specific company? Or is it a relation field on company with another object?
Hey Thomas, Im trying to import a CSV file which contains all data (imported from Linkedin). It has contact names, and other field, also company name. Since it has not a company ID, 20 won't populate the company table. So I read here in a thread from a year ago that the best workaround was to import all companies in my csv to 20 and than export from there which will give me a company (id). I did that and I added the company ID field to my contact list expecting 20 would import my contacts and tie them to the companies I imported before.
Sorry if this is a bit long, I can't explain in terms of objects.
thanks in advance
Is there a specific field name or format I should use when uploading the company ID in the contact CSV?
your contact object needs to have a many-to-one relation with company. Is it the case? 🙂
btw are you self hosting or cloud?
let's assume you have your contact object that has a many to one relation with company. If you name this relation field "company" on your contact object, it will create a field "companyId" in DB. Then in your csv the companyId column will match the comanyId column on your contact field
