Pipeline

Find and import leads

Prospect search, CSV import, and manual add — three ways to fill the pipeline.

7 min readUpdated June 2026

Before you begin

  • Import requires admin or leads.import permission
  • Find people uses credits when enriching external prospects

Add lead manually

  • Leads → Add Lead (/dashboard/leads/new)
  • Enter contact info, source, stage, and assignee

Import CSV

  • Leads → Add Lead → Import (/dashboard/leads/import)
  • Map owner email to assignee, not display name
  • Normalize phone format; keep stage names consistent with your pipeline
  • Review duplicate handling in preview before confirming

Find people

  • Search external prospects at /dashboard/leads/find
  • Open from **Find people** in global search or Add Lead menu
  • Enrich after import when offered (uses credits)

Common issues

  • Wrong owner after import — map assignee email column correctly
  • Duplicates — imports merge when email or phone matches an existing lead
