Today, we’re launching our brand new importer. Rebuilt from the ground up, you can now import your data into any object or list, and also import relationships between objects and references.

We’ve also shipped a number of other new features that help you import data into Attio faster and better than ever before.

Import data into any object

Our new importer supports standard objects, custom objects, and all attribute types. This means you can now import your data directly into objects, as well as lists.

You can also import relationships between objects from a single CSV file, or create new relationships between a row being imported and existing records in Attio.

For example, importing a file with the columns Name, Email, Company name, Company domain would create a relationship between the Person and Company listed in each row, and create any missing records for either Person or Company.

Map data faster than ever before

Whether you’re uploading a file of 1,000 or 100,000 rows, you can immediately start mapping values while your file uploads in the background.

We’ve upgraded our automatic value mapping to speed up the process for you. We analyze the headers and entires in every column to instantly identify the best matching attribute for each value, making it easy to configure your data however you need.

Should we identify any issues with your mapped values, we flag these so that you can review and override this data directly inside of Attio. No need to tediously edit and re-upload your files.

You can also share the link to your import with teammates to collaborate in real-time.

Track your progress

Once you’ve finished configuring your data, you’ll get a full preview of the import, including any new relationships that will be created between objects. This allows you to get a full picture of precisely how your data is being imported into your CRM.

Click Start import, and you’ll instantly see a detailed progress indicator. Not only can you see how long is left on your import, but you can also see which records are completed, queued or failed.

Need to build some workflows while you wait for a large import to run? No problem—your import will still run in the background. Just navigate to the object settings page to view any currently running or previous imports.

Get started

To get started just click Import / Export > Import CSV on any object or list view, and drag and drop your CSV file. Visit our help center article to learn more.
