How to Fix Contact Import Errors and Prevent Future Issues

ยท
ยท

Oops - I imported ~50 new contacts to an existing table from a "Find More People" Search, and then I clicked on the contacts and tried to map the name, to the existing Name column. I didn't realize this would apply to the entire list, and now the rest of my list has an empty first name column. Is there a way to undo this or do I have to re create the table? For context, the original results before these 50 were added came from a Write to table enrichment. Also, what should I have done next time to avoid this error. I guess keeping them separate, creating a new column and then merging the two woulda solved this ๐Ÿ˜ž

    Hi Alexander, thanks for reaching out. Yes we are aware of this issue and are currently thinking how to best address this. As of now you'll have to keep the destination columns separate and then merge the two with a merge column. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!

    Hey Alexander! Thanks for the reply. Sorry about this. There currently isn't a way to "undo" this unfortunately. You'll need to re-import the data from the source table, by re-running the write to table integration. Happy to add credits for any enrichments that previously ran before those cells were overwritten.

    got it, and thanks for the offer but no need, I didn't run any enrichments at that point!
