Importing Deals to associated accounts

Hi,

I’m new to Monday, and struggling with the mechanics of importing.

I’m trying to import deals from a previous dataset (before using Monday), to map to accounts already created in Monday.

I’ve linked account name and have it as a column in the deals group, when I use the import tool the fields map out (as i matched csv to fields in deals), but when I go to import it just duplicates the coulmns as text.

Have no idea on how to resolve. Automation rules are really confusing if want to match to the account field!

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Imports don’t auto connect. I recommend using this automation template. You’ll need to have a text column for the account (from upload) and then a connected column that’s connected to your accounts board before you do the upload.

Thanks for sharing!

Steps I’ve taken:

  1. Added new text column in deals called ‘Account Test’

  2. Mirrored Accounts column in deals

Created item creation rule - however doesn’t let me connect to Account


Am I missing a step here?

Thanks!

Is your Accounts column a mirror or a ‘Connected’ column?

I believe it’s connected - can probably tell I’m new to this!

Yea, that’s a connected column. There’s another logic automation just like that one that says ‘when column changes…’. Try adding that one too. The connection should happen automatically after that
