Import contacts from CSV. Map columns to contact fields. Export contacts to CSV for backup and migration.

Import and Export Contacts

Use CSV import to add many contacts at once, and CSV export to back up or migrate your contact list. Both operations work with standard comma-separated values (.csv) files.

Importing Contacts

Supported Format

CrystalQore supports CSV (Comma-Separated Values) for import. Your file should:

Use commas to separate values
Have a header row with column names
Encode special characters correctly (UTF-8 is typical)

Import Steps

Open Import — In the Contacts module, open the Import option (often under a menu or settings).

Upload or select your CSV file — Choose the file from your device. The import wizard will load it.

Map columns to contact fields — Match each CSV column to a CrystalQore contact field (e.g., "First Name", "Email", "Phone"). The wizard shows a preview so you can verify mapping.

Review and confirm — Check for errors (duplicates, invalid data). Adjust mapping if needed, then run the import.

Field Mapping

During import, you map CSV columns to these contact fields (where available):

CrystalQore Field	Common CSV Column Names
First Name	first_name, firstName, First Name
Last Name	last_name, lastName, Last Name
Email	email, Email, E-mail
Phone (Work)	phone, work_phone, Phone
Phone (Mobile)	mobile, cell, Mobile
Company	company, Company, Organization
Title	title, Title, Job Title
Address	address, Address
Notes	notes, Notes, Description

Column names in your CSV may differ. The mapping step lets you assign each column to the correct field. Unmapped columns are ignored.

Handling Duplicates

The import process may detect duplicate contacts (e.g., same email or phone). You can typically:

Skip — Do not import duplicates
Update — Update existing contacts with new data
Import all — Import anyway (may create duplicates)

Choose the option that fits your use case.

Exporting Contacts

Export Steps

Open Export — In the Contacts module, open the Export option.
Select scope — Choose which contacts to export (e.g., My Contacts, Shared with Me, or a filtered list).
Download CSV — Start the export. A CSV file downloads to your device.

Export Contents

The CSV includes the contact fields you have in CrystalQore:

Name, email, phone numbers
Company, title, department
Address
Notes
Other configured fields

You can open the CSV in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet or CRM that supports CSV.
