CSV Upload

Import Organization, Account, User, and NPS data via CSV Upload

CSV Uploads Overview

If you have data that you're not able to import through the use of our integrations or Vitally's APIs, you can use the CSV Upload tool found in the Integrations Catalog.

CSV: What can I import

  • Organizations and organization traits
  • Accounts and account traits
  • Users and user traits
  • NPS responses
If you have any other types of data that you would like our help importing into your Vitally account, please contact our support team via the in-app chat, and we'd be happy to evaluate your request.

CSV: Formatting

Depending on the import type, you must include a couple of required columns on your CSV and the traits you wish to update or create. View the different requirements and formats below:
Organizations
Accounts
Users
NPS Responses
Required Columns:
  • Organization External ID
Additional Traits: Include columns for any additional Organization traits you would like to update or create.

  2. 2.

  3. 3.
    Select the new name at the top of the trait selector
  4. 4.
    Once done mapping all your traits, select SAVE AND IMPORT

FAQ

Q: Is there a limit on how many rows I can upload in a CSV? A: There isn't a limit on how many rows but there is a file size limit of 100mb.
Q: Can I null traits? A: No, you can not remove values from any trait.
Q: I want to append values to a multi select trait via a CSV A: At this time when uploading a csv with a value for a multi select it will replace the current value. As a workaround you can use playbooks. If you update a multi select trait, it doesn't replace, it appends. Another workaround would be to add all values wanted in the multi select trait with the formatting stated above of multi-value: ["green", "red"]
