# Contact Import

> Import contacts from CSV files, MLS systems, or third-party CRMs into Winnerr

The Import page (`/people/import`) lets you bring contacts into Winnerr in bulk from CSV files, MLS exports, or other data sources.

## Import methods

### CSV upload

1. Click **Import** on the People page or go to `/people/import`
2. Upload a CSV or Excel file
3. Winnerr auto-detects columns and maps them to contact fields
4. Review the mapping — adjust any columns that weren't auto-matched
5. Click **Preview** to see the first 10 rows as they'll appear in your CRM
6. Click **Import** to create the contacts

### Column mapping

Winnerr recognizes common column names automatically:

| CSV Column           | Maps to       |
| -------------------- | ------------- |
| Name, Full Name      | `name`        |
| Email, Email Address | `email`       |
| Phone, Mobile, Cell  | `phone`       |
| Type, Contact Type   | `contactType` |
| Source, Lead Source  | `source`      |
| Address, Street      | `address`     |
| Tags, Labels         | `tags`        |

Unrecognized columns can be manually mapped or skipped.

### Duplicate detection

Before importing, Winnerr checks for duplicates by phone number and email. For each match, you can:

* **Skip** — Don't import the duplicate
* **Update** — Merge new data into the existing record
* **Create anyway** — Import as a separate contact

## MLS import

Import contacts from your MLS system directly:

1. Ensure your MLS integration is connected in **Settings → Integrations**
2. Go to **People → Import → MLS**
3. Search by MLS number, agent name, or date range
4. Select the contacts to import
5. Confirm and import

## Chrome Extension import

The Winnerr Chrome Extension can capture contact information from Zillow, Realtor.com, and MLS websites. Click the extension icon while viewing a listing or agent profile to add them to your CRM instantly.

## Post-import

After import completes, you'll see a summary:

* **Created** — New contacts added
* **Updated** — Existing contacts merged
* **Skipped** — Duplicates or invalid rows
* **Errors** — Rows that couldn't be processed (with reasons)

Imported contacts appear immediately in your People list and can be assigned to pipelines, tagged, and added to campaigns.

<Tip>
  After a large import, create a saved filter for "Imported today" and review the contacts before adding them to automation workflows.
