Importing data to NextOS

Get started with Nextiva by importing your existing data, such as devices and users.

From the NextOS admin dashboard, select Data Import > Spreadsheet. 

Choose to import Devices or Users > Next > upload your CSV file.

TIP: To ensure your data is imported successfully, check out our Templates for guidance. If importing users, you can choose to send them a welcome email immediately or later by entering Y or N under the Welcome Email column in the template.

      2. Enter an optional description
      3. The columns on the .cvs file you uploaded
      4. The available fields in Nextiva CRM
      5. The Unique Identifier is the field we look at while importing data to prevent duplicate imports
