Here's an overview of the main ways you can import your contacts into CloudTalk.
Ways to Import
There are several ways of importing contacts into CloudTalk:
CSV import
Manually
API
If the other options don't work for you, you can choose to integrate CloudTalk with external systems that you use regularly via our API. This type of integration can be used to import or export contacts and for regular downloads of call history, orders, tickets, etc.
Manual entry
Manually add new clients and all their relevant data in the Contacts tab. Select +Add Contact for new contacts, or click the magnifying glass to edit an existing contact.
You can also assign a preferred agent to whom the customer’s calls will be routed. The real-time customer card feature allows you to create a new contact even if you are still talking with the client.
Upload a CSV file (for example from Excel) to import your contact database into CloudTalk. We recommend using our CSV template to ensure correct formatting. Go to Contacts > Bulk contact import, upload the CSV file, and tag your contacts to identify the group being imported. These tags are essential for power dialer campaigns and can also be used to filter contacts. Select Confirm to finalize the import.
Integrations
Contact lists and other data will be synchronized between CloudTalk and your added integrations at pre-defined intervals. With each import, CloudTalk creates new contacts and updates existing ones with any new data.
For example, if you changed your existing client’s email address in Helpdesk, synchronization allows the change to be automatically displayed in your CloudTalk contact list.
