Zoho CRM - Revamped Import Feature

Zoho CRM's import feature has been revamped to make large, related-data imports easier, with higher per-batch limits and parity between xls/xlsx and CSV files. You can now import into transaction modules directly and bring in dependent data such as subforms and line items in a single pass.

Zoho CRM has revamped its import feature so you can handle large, complex imports, particularly those with related data, in fewer steps and with fewer errors; this is available to all users across all data centres.

  • The maximum number of records per batch has increased across all paid editions.
  • xls and xlsx imports now use the same per-batch limits as CSV files, instead of being capped at 5,000 records.
  • You can import into the Quotes, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Invoices modules directly from each module, without the data migration tool or APIs.
  • You can import dependent module data at the same time as the parent record, including subform records, multi-select lookup associations, and multi-user associations, for example invoices with their line items in one go.
  • Notes can now be updated and upserted through the import tool, not just added.
  • You can append values to multi-select picklist fields during import instead of overwriting them.
  • Other options include email notification on import completion, importing while data storage is full, update and upsert in the Free edition, and selecting the ISO-8859-8 charset for Hebrew-language data.
