How do I manually import fans into my FanCRM?

A quick guide on how to upload your existing lists or a single fan into the FanCRM.

 
 

While most of the data in your FanCRM will be generated through engagement campaigns or automated sales integrations, the Tradable Bits system also facilitates the ability to manually import any data that you have on hand. This could be either ticketing data from your previous shows or past merch sales or data that you physically collected at your venue.

This can be done with the Import section in your FanCRM. To find this section, click on +Import under FanCRM in Manage Center.

Once in the section, you can either upload a list of fans or a single fan.

 

Uploading a List of Fans


In order to upload a list of fans, click on "Import .csv" and upload a CSV file with the necessary data. If your CSV contains a header in the first row, click on the checkbox next to "Ignore Headers (top line of spreadsheet)".

 

The following are the columns that are supported.

Column Name Description
first_name First Name
last_name Last Name
email Email of the Fan
full_name Full Name of the fan (First Name + Last Name)

After importing the file, you will be asked to allocate your data against pre-defined fields.
