Step 2: Import data into your CRM

You can import the data into your CRM in several ways. The examples below outline how to  use Dataloader or Informatica. The specific steps for your import will depend on your institutions business practices and preferred upload tool.

Import data using Dataloader

  1. Remove any records from your file that are NOT students.
  2. Optional: Add a column in your file for Source with a value of UChat. 

Note: By including a 'Source', you will be able to map to the Source field on the Contact object to capture source data. The Lead Source field on the contact object will be set automatically if the contact was created for the first time from UChat.

  1. Launch Dataloader. If you need to install DataLoader, follow the steps outlined in: Installing Dataloader.

  8. Select Next, a pop-up will appear with the number of records that will be imported.
  9. Follow the steps in the wizard to map and import your data. Choose to match on Email, so that when Email matches, the record will be Updated instead of a new record created.
