### Important Notes:

* To import your clients, upload your data in our preferred format (Client name, company name, email, country, state, city, and zip code). Just write the information according to the name of this column.&#x20;
* There is no need to provide a column name at the top. Our platform automatically matches your data columns with our system fields. That means inputting a file with the same column name as our system field will save and show the data correspondently.&#x20;
