There are three ways to import data into Pipefy databases:
Importer App: For data imported from spreadsheets
API: For data imported from external software
Pipefy Connector: For data imported from connected software
For all options, the first step is to create a database connection between the data and the pipe that will display it.
If you need, check out this tutorial to learn how to connect pipes and databases.
The second step is to choose how you will import the data: the Importer App, API, or Pipefy Connector.
Importer App
You don't have to know how to code to use this feature. Enable the Importer app in your pipe, then upload the Excel file (.xlsx format).
