Sync Not Booked or All Booked Customers: Scheduled Import

If you are looking to sync all booked customers or not booked customers, you have two options: run a one-time import or set up a scheduled import that runs automatically at a set recurring rate.  In this case, the scheduled import option is explored.

To create a recurring scheduled import, select the Scheduled import option and add a name to the import like "Spring One-Time Customers", for example, then select an import start date and import start time.  For Repeats, your options are

  • Weekly on Monday

  • Every 2 weeks on Saturday

  • Monthly on the 15th of the month

  • Monthly on the 28th of the month 

  • Use the Custom Schedule button to set your own repeating time frame.  

Image

Next, decide which week you would like to consider for the import (Previous or Next), how many days you want to consider (1-7 days), and if you allow duplicate work progresses in the selected funnel(s) (Yes or No).

Image

Next, select your filters for the import. The options are:

  • Status

  • Rating

  • Frequencies

  • Industries

  • Locations

  • Service Category

Image

Next, choose which funnel(s) you would like to add the customers.  

Image

Finally, click the blue Import button to sync the data.

Once submitted, you can see your recurring scheduled imports under the Scheduled import tab.

Your import history is listed below the Import and Sync options on the main Imports page.

Each import provides the Option to View lead(s) that were imported or Undo import if perhaps you would like to redo a import for any reason.
