Open CSV in Notepad++ or VS Code
Go to line 1089
Remove or fix unclosed quote " in that row
Save as UTF-8 CSV
Re-upload to Clay it will work now
Since I can't see the specific error, here are common CSV upload fixes:
• Remove "created at" or "updated at" columns
• Ensure file has ≤72 columns and ≤50,000 rows
• Use UTF-8 encoding with comma separators
• Remove commas, colons, and semicolons from data
• Try uploading to Google Sheets first, then download as CSV
• Use a shorter file name
If you're seeing green triangles, download and re-upload instead of copy-pasting.
What specific error message are you seeing?
Perfect! That's exactly the right fix for unclosed quote errors in CSV files. Opening the CSV in a text editor like Notepad++ or VS Code to locate and fix the problematic quote on line 1089 will resolve the parsing issue.
After fixing the quote, make sure to save as UTF-8 encoding when re-uploading to Clay for best results. This type of formatting issue with quotes and special characters is a common cause of CSV upload problems.
