Uploading your client list

Import your clients into Sophie from an Excel or CSV file.

Uploading your client list

If you already keep your client list in a spreadsheet, you can bring it into Sophie in a few minutes. Sophie accepts common spreadsheet formats and walks you through matching each column.

Supported file formats

Sophie accepts the following file types:

  • Excel (.xlsx)
  • CSV (.csv)

If your file is in another format (for example, .xls or .numbers), save it as one of the above before importing.

Step 1: Open Clients

From the left-hand menu, click Clients.

Step 2: Start the import

Click the Import button at the top of the client list. A short import flow will open.

Step 3: Select your file

Drag your spreadsheet into the upload area, or click Choose file to browse for it on your computer. Then click Continue.

Step 4: Map your columns

Sophie will show a preview of your file and ask you to match each column to a field in Sophie. For example:

  • A column called "Full Name" → Client Name
  • A column called "Email Address" → Email
  • A column called "Phone" → Phone

You can also choose to skip a column if you don't want to bring it in. Take a moment to review the mapping — getting this right means your client details land in the right place.

Step 5: Review

Sophie will show a final preview of how your clients will be added. Look it over to make sure everything looks correct.

Step 6: Confirm

Click Confirm import to finish. Sophie will add your clients and send you a confirmation when it's done. Larger files may take a moment.

Tips for a clean import

  • Keep one client per row.
  • Use clear column headers in the first row.
  • Remove blank rows or extra notes above the headers.
  • Make sure emails are valid — Sophie uses email to match and notify clients.
