Bring a contact list into your customer records with a careful check.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

When someone places a contact file in the team’s chosen folder, prepare a preview of its organizations and people. Compare available email addresses with existing records, flag likely duplicates and incomplete rows, and wait for an authorized owner to approve the exact additions.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

What this workflow could do

Helps a team prepare contacts from a file for its customer database without re-entering every row or blindly creating duplicates.

Review points proposed in this idea

A file may contain stale, inaccurate, or personal information. Confirm that your team is authorized to use these details, honor contact preferences, and verify each proposed match. Require an authorized person to approve the exact records before import; adding a record is not permission to send outreach.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Choose the import folder and file format

    Select the team folder and document the expected columns and how the file owner identifies a ready-to-review import.

  2. 02

    Define duplicate and incomplete-row handling

    Agree how likely matches, missing email addresses, and conflicting organization names are held for a person.

  3. 03

    Set privacy and import approval rules

    Name who confirms data-use permission, contact preferences, and approval for the final set of records.

  4. 04

    Test representative contact lists

    Check new, existing, duplicate, and incomplete rows and confirm that no record changes before approval.
