- 1
Missing First name / Email / Phone / Street / City / State / ZIP
Required for every row. Fill the cell, or map a Full address column and let Zentive split it.
- 2
Invalid email format
Fix typos (missing @, spaces). Rows without email cannot be invited to the portal.
- 3
Phone number looks too short
Use a full 10-digit number; formatting is normalized.
- 4
Duplicates
Email or phone already exists in Zentive. Skipped by default; open the Duplicates tab to link instead.
- 5
Pay rate is not a number (employees)
Digits only, e.g. 24 or 24.50.
- 6
File won't upload
CSV, XLSX, or XLS up to 10 MB and 5,000 rows, with a header row. Export from QuickBooks, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan and pick that source on step 1.
Fix only what failed
After import, press Download failed rows (CSV), correct those rows, and upload that file; already-added customers are detected as duplicates and skipped.
