I am trying to import 200 activities to contacts and the import shows that all records are imported but if I go to the contact and look at their activities it is not shown.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

  • Are you sure the activity is linked to the good contacts. Can you do a search using the activity search using the title of the activity to see if it's there ?

  • There is nothing there with the name of the mailing. The contact IDs should be good and appear to match real contacts. This is an import from an export.

I had about 25 fields I was skipping in the import map. I deleted these fields and it worked like a charm.

  • Yes, good plan, and although we might not know why, I have a few guesses: extraneous or non-standard characters (carriage returns, new lines, foreign language) can botch an import. best to clean up your CSV before importing. a few "do not import" columns are fine. A couple dozen is not a good plan. Jul 19, 2015 at 6:39

Please upload a screenshot of your field mapping, your unsupervised dedupe rule setting and a sample data of the CSV you are working with.

  • I trimmed out all the fields I was telling the import to ignore and tried it again so I could send you a screen shot without names and it worked 100%!
