Import the Records

Start The Import

It’s time to send your imported records to their final homes in Salesforce by creating or updating new contacts, accounts, and opportunities.

Start on the NPSP Data Imports page again, on the Dry Run - Validated list view. Don’t worry that you don’t see the record that you fixed in the last step in this list view. It'll still be processed without any problems because you fixed the error.

  1. Click Import All Data Import Records.
    The Dry Run - Validated list view with the Start Data Import button highlighted
  2. Verify that your Configuration Options are the same as for your dry run in step 4. They should be:
    • Batch Process Size is 50
    • Contact Matching Rule is Firstname,Lastname,Email
    • Donation Matching Behavior is Do Not Match - No matching is attempted; new records are created.
  1. Click Begin Data Import Process.

Just like with the dry run, you see a status page to show you how many records are imported and if there are any errors.

The NPSP Data Import status indicating completed with 10 records processed, 10 records imported, and 0 records failed.

You should have imported 10 records with zero errors. If not, go back and make sure you have followed the instructions in this step, and previous steps, correctly. 

Click Close and check some of the records you imported.

Review The Imported Records

Look at the contact you created back in step 2 to see how NPSP Data Importer updated the records.

Using Global Search, find and select Haley Brown. Click her contact to open her record.

The utility has updated her contact information with an affiliation to her employer, a home address, phone numbers, and email preference.

Click on the Brown Household account from Haley’s contact record to see that NPSP Data Importer created contact records for her husband, Jake, and kids, and associated them to the household account.

Don’t forget about the donation record that was created, as well.

Now check out the record for Amer Shakil—the record with the error—by searching for it in Global Search.

You’ll notice that it created a new contact for Amer and associated it with his company, Edge Communications, with a primary affiliation. It also imported his donation.

Take a minute to open the CSV in another window, then use global search to find a few of the records in Salesforce to see how NPSP Data Importer brought that information in to your org. Understanding how the template translates to records in Salesforce is key to taking on more complicated imports.

Wrap Up
