Getting started
Importing contacts from your old CRM
CSV import from any CRM, spreadsheet, or email contacts — what maps and what to check.
Your existing contacts don't stay behind. BrokerFold's importer handles a standard contact CSV from any CRM, spreadsheet, or email tool.
Export from your current tool
- In your current CRM, look for Settings → Export (or Data Export) and export all contacts to CSV.
- Clear any active filters first so the export includes everyone, not just a view.
- From a spreadsheet, save/export the sheet as a .csv file.
- From email contacts, export your address book to CSV.
What BrokerFold imports
We preserve the fields you'd expect — name, email, phones, tags, source, pipeline stage, notes, and custom fields. Deal history from your previous CRM imports as activity timeline entries.
What to double-check
- Opt-in status on each contact — we import the current state but you're responsible for CASL compliance going forward
- Tag consolidation — similar tags (e.g. 'buyer' and 'buyers') can be merged during import
- Pipeline-stage mapping — your old stages get mapped to BrokerFold defaults; you can rename them after import
