Import Manager Overview

Updated December 05, 2023 21:37

Introduction

Configio allows you to import data from external sources into your database. This is especially useful for when initially integrating with Configio. An example of this is importing your contacts into your CRM. It is also useful for reconciling outside activities that impact the system. An example of this is taking walk-up "pen-and-paper" registrations on the day of event, and then importing to add them to your roster.

You can use the Import Manager to create new records (like to create a new Account) or to update existing records (like to update an existing Account).
