Import

Bring a CSV into a table. Appenda scans the file, lets you map columns to fields, then adds every row in one job.

Appenda scans the file and reads sample values from each CSV column.

Before you start

A workspace table to import into, or use Import CSV when creating a new table from the sidebar + menu.
A .csv file with a header row. UTF-8 works best.
Know which fields you need. See Fields for types.

Steps

Open import

Into an existing table: click Import in the table toolbar (right cluster, next to Export).

Into a new table: sidebar + → Import CSV → name the table → pick the file.

Scan and map

Appenda reads your CSV and proposes a field for each column. Pick or change each mapping, then import.

Suggestion	When you see it
Existing field	The header matches a field already on the table.
Matched alias	A common export header maps to a known field. Amber hint text shows what matched.
Create "…"	Appenda infers a new field from the header name.
Skip column	You do not need that column in the table.

Open your file. Appenda shows how many rows it found.
Review each column. Sample values from the file appear underneath so you can confirm the mapping before you import.
Change any dropdown. Appenda treats spaces, dashes, and capitalization in headers as equivalent.
Click Import N rows when at least one column is mapped.

Common export headers such as Primary Email, Company Name, and work_email usually map without manual edits. You can override any suggestion.

Check that it worked

Rows appear in the grid.
The status bar shows an updated visible/total count.
Version control records one import summary for the job, not one entry per row.

Tips

Map required identity columns first (name, email, domain) before optional enrichment fields.
Run enrichment after import is shown in the dialog but is not available yet. Run enrichments from the toolbar after the import finishes.
Large files scan before import applies. Wait for rows scanned before clicking Import.

FAQs

Can I import into a view?

Import adds rows to the table. Views are lenses on the same data and do not get a separate copy.

What happens if I skip every column?

Import stays disabled until at least one column is mapped to a field.

Does import overwrite existing rows?

Import appends new rows. It does not replace rows that are already in the table unless a future merge tool says otherwise.

Will agents see imported rows immediately?

Yes, after import completes. Agents read the same table data you see in the grid.
