Working with spreadsheets can be difficult to control and easily outdated. To work with data in one place, import your data into your process in Pipefy.

The Importer app makes it easy!

First, you have to activate it inside your pipe. Click on Tools → Apps, and select Importer. Click on enable, and you're ready to start!

Open the app to begin, and choose where to import your spreadsheet file: to a pipe or to a database.

In New Import, drag and drop or select your spreadsheet from your file folder. The last step is to combine its columns with the pipe's or database's fields and start importing.

Once you start importing, the Importer App creates a new card or record for each row in the spreadsheet.

Each column corresponds to a field in your pipe’s forms or database. This is why it's so important to match columns and fields properly during the setup.

Use it anytime you want to save time by adding great volumes of information to Pipefy, for example:

📌 Only users that have pipe admin permission can enable the Importer App.

Click on the tools icon, then select Apps.

Click on Importer.

Then, enable it.

After that, you will see the Importer icon on the pipe's header.

Check the field types in your form. If it has a numeric or currency field, the corresponding information in the spreadsheet cannot contain letters.

Pay close attention to phone numbers, zip codes, and ID numbers to ensure they’re accurate. Also, email addresses must also be in email format.

Your file also can't contain any filters applied or any merged cells. Blank cells will appear as blank fields in Pipefy.

To import due dates, assignees, or labels, ensure your pipe has those fields.
