Completing the Import

Important Information

Once you upload the file and click submit, the import process is irreversible, and contacts cannot be deleted in bulk. Double-check your data for accuracy before proceeding.

For this import to be successful, this will need to happen after you've imported your Participants. For more information on this process head to our user guide article here.

To complete the import head to the Contacts Import page and download the Import Template. To complete the template you will need to have the following information about the contact;

  • Contact First Name

  • Contact Last Name

Once you have completed the template you can then upload the file to the file uploader option. Simply select start import to begin the import process.

How the Contact Import Works

To get an idea of how the import works see the list below;

  • We use the NDIS number to look up the Participant

  • We then look for an existing contact with the following important points;

    • If a mobile number is provided, we will use that to find an existing contact

    • if no mobile is provided, we will then use the email to look for an existing contact

  • If not existing contact is found, we will then create one

  • We then link the existing contact or the newly created contact to the Participant found using the NDIS number
