[Data Import](https://help.artcloud.com/knowledge/artcloud-for-artists?hsLang=en-us#data-import) July 15, 2026 # Contact Migration Template ## Make your contact import process easier with ArtCloud's Contact Migration Template [This helpful article](https://help.artcld.com/en/knowledge/import-your-contacts) covers the process of uploading Contacts into ArtCloud in bulk. It also covers where to download ArtCloud's **Contact Import** **Template**.The Contact Import Template can be opened by any spreadsheet software that can open .CSV (Comma Separated Values) files, such as **Microsoft Excel**, **Google Sheets**(free), **Numbers**(by Apple), or **Libre Office Calc**. **NOTE:** Your first migrations into ArtCloud should occur in the following order: **Inventory** -\> **Contacts** -\> **Invoices**. The template works based on column names. Every row is a Contact Record, and the intersecting columns are what field that cell will be populating. For example: | | **salutation** | **firstname** | **lastname** | **email** | **is\_subscribed** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **A** | Mr. | Stan | Lee | stan@marvel.com | NO | | **B** | Ms. | Barbara | Streisand | bstreisand@gmail.com | YES | The first contact's first name is Mr. Stan Lee. His email is stan@marvel.com, and he is not subscribed to receive email Campaigns. The second contact's name is Ms. Barbara Streisand. Her email is bstreisand@gmail.com, and she is subscribed to receive email Campaigns. **NOTE:** Fields can be left empty with no consequence. **Keep in mind that adding information to existing Contact records after an import may result in a fee.** It is particularly important that addresses are split into their proper fields, as it can affect the way that addresses are displayed on **Invoices**, **Shipping Labels**, etc. ### Contact Import Template Key | **Column** | **Name** | **Input Format** | **Notes & Description** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **A** | *salutation* | Text | Ms., Mr., Mrs., etc. | | **B** | *firstname* | Text | Contact's first name. | | **C** | *lastname* | Text | Contact's last name. | | **D** | *spouse\_first\_name* | Text | The first name of your contact's spouse. | | **E** | *spouse\_last\_name* | Text | The last name of your contact's spouse. | | **F** | *email* | Text | Contact's email. | | **G** | *is\_subscribed* | Yes/No, y/n, True/False | Indicates whether or not contact is subscribed to email marketing campaigns.
