Key tips:
- Include all required fields (Opportunity Name, Close Date, Stage, Amount).
- Map CSV columns accurately to Salesforce fields.
- Use Upsert with an External ID to prevent duplicates.
- Test with a small batch first to catch errors.
- Check success and error logs after import.
- Automate repetitive imports via command-line if needed.
This ensures a smooth, accurate, and efficient import.
