Columns necessary for group uploads


Groups in GetThru have three required fields: first name, last name, and phone number. All ThruText and ThruTalk groups must have these fields, meaning any CSV you upload to create a group must always have these fields. If your CSV only has a first name and phone number, you must add a column called "last name" and enter some value (e.g., Null) into each row for that field. 


When you upload your CSV, GetThru will "guess" which column in your CSV should be associated with which standard field and then "map" those columns to the standard fields in the GetThru database. Here's what that looks like:

If you think that GetThru guessed incorrectly, you can change the mapping using the pulldown menus under each header name.

Required fields in the same cell

If your csv has two or more of your required fields in one cell within the same csv, use the "Convert Text to Columns" function in Excel.
