My Smartsheet Contacts...

I can see it's not possible to import the contacts to Smartsheet using the CSV file.

I exported all the employees of my company to CSV file and cut it into pieces so each has less than 1000 records.

However when I try to import it to my contacts in Smartsheet - nothing happens - no error window.


Can you help?

    @kowal The only time that I have experienced that issue is when I had extra fields in the sheet. Here are the steps for importing: https://help.smartsheet.com/learning-track/get-started/contacts

    If you try doing a single line import does the issue persist?

    I think there is recently some issue with this import feature.

    I made some testing and tried to import old csv files that went without issues few months back and those do not work.

  • I had the same issue importing a CSV. The Smartsheet team suggested I check the email addresses for an extra space after the email as this resolved another user's issues.

    I reviewed my list and discovered two rows were missing an email address. Once I fixed the missing emails, the import worked.

    Good luck!
