<br><br>
:'''Attention!''' It is forbidden to import a client list with emails and client information where the clients have not specifically granted you the right to do so.
<br>
:'''Please note''' that this feature is available with Standard and Premium subscriptions only(former Advanced, Gold and Platinum).<br>
:It is only possible to import 500 clients by default. If you need to import more please contact support for details.
<br><br>
'''How to use this option:'''
:1. Enable "Import Clients" custom feature on your Custom features page:
[[File:Import clients enable path redesigned.png|1200px | center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/5/55/Import_clients_enable_path_redesigned.png]]
<br><br>
:2. Prepare your Excel file.
:- No text above the list of clients should be written
:- Make sure all cells are correctly displayed
:- Save file in .csv format with comma separation.
<br><br>
:3. Go to Manage//Clients//Import from CSV or simply click on "Settings" near this custom feature.
[[ File:Import csv file path redesigned.png|1200px | center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/c/cb/Import_csv_file_path_redesigned.png]]
<br><br>
:4. Press "Choose file" and select the prepared file.

<br><br>
:5. Assign values to the columns from drop-down lists in the upper bar (above each column, marked with black arrows). Assign "name", "email" and "phone".<br>
:(if you are using [[Special:MyLanguage/Client_Fields_Custom_Feature|Client Fields Custom Feature]] you can also import some of the forms values)
[[File:Assign values to columns import redesigned.png|1200px | center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/b/bf/Assign_values_to_columns_import_redesigned.png]]
<br><br>
:6. Press "Confirm clients import".
:''Please note that only 10 clients will be shown in preview, but after you import, all clients will be shown.''
<br><br>
;If you can't import clients, please check the possible reasons:
:1. Format of .csv file is incorrect. It should be saved in .csv with comma or tab separation.<br/>
:2. There is some text above the data or unnecessary columns that prevent successful import. Please delete the text.<br/>
:3. Values are not assigned. Use drop-down menus above the columns to assign values "name", "email", "phone", etc.
