Match import file templates

The set of imported details may differ depending on the details template type you choose. Details templates are pre-made sets of fields. For example, there are details templates for companies and persons.
Contact or company details templates

In the Details import parameters section, several options can help you match your file details with templates.

Find their description below and learn in which cases to use them.

Default import template: Select the appropriate template from the drop-down list. This option is useful if you have, for example, a file with company details only.

 Match import file templates: Enable this option to import both company and person details. You need to specify the name of the required template for each record in your file.

 Match using template ID's: Enable this option to match templates using the template IDs and speed up the import process. You need to specify the template ID for each record in your file.

 Use default template if no template could be matched to the one in the import file: Bitrix24 will try to use the default template specified above. This increases the chances of importing company details successfully.

If templates don't match, you get an error message and the company is not imported.
