How do I import agent information?

  • Navigate to Admin → User Management → Agents, and click on Import. If your account has more than one workspace, then navigate to Admin > Global Settings > User Management > Agents.
  • The "Import Agents" panel would appear on your screen. Select or drag-and-drop a  CSV file onto the file upload area in this panel. Click on the "Upload" button. (Formats other than CSV are not supported. For more information about the file contents, refer to the sections below)
  • Map the agent attributes to the column headers in the CSV file. Once you're done, click on the " Import" button.
  • Once the import process is completed, you will receive an email with the number of agents imported successfully, and errors encountered if any.
  • How should I structure the input file?

  • The file must be in CSV format. Other formats are not supported.
  • The first row of the CSV file should contain the names of the fields that are being imported (Full Name, Email, etc.)
  • If you're assigning values to fields like Groups and Roles which can have multiple values,
  • - If you're editing the CSV file using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, specify the values separated by commas (Role 1, Role 2, Role 3) - If you're editing the CSV file using a text editor, specify the values separated by commas and enclose the entire string within double quotes ("Role 1, Role 2, Role 3")
