Importing Customers from a Spreadsheet

Bring your existing customer list into Scheduling Hero. Import customers and their jobs from Excel, CSV, or Numbers files.

1

Prepare your spreadsheet

Open your existing customer list in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. Required columns: Address, Postcode, Job Description, and Price. Optional: Name, Phone, Email, Town/City, Frequency, Last Completed.

💡Column names are flexible—'phone number', 'Phone', and 'phone_number' all work.
2

Export your file

Save your file as .csv, .xlsx (Excel), or .numbers (Apple Numbers). All three formats work with the import tool.

3

Open the import tool

Tap 'More' in the navigation, then tap 'Import Customers' to begin.

4

Select your file

Tap 'Choose Spreadsheet' and select your file from your device. The app will read your file and show a preview of the data.

5

Review the preview

Check that your columns were detected correctly. The app automatically matches common column names to the right fields.

6

Review duplicates

The app checks for customers that might already exist based on address and postcode. You can choose to add jobs to existing customers or skip them.

7

Verify addresses

Addresses are automatically verified and geocoded. If any can't be found, you can fix them manually using the map.

8

Complete the import

Tap 'Import' to add all customers and jobs to your database. You'll see a summary showing how many were imported successfully.
