Import More Than Two Contacts to a Household at Once

Here's how to import more than two contacts to the same household at once.

Salesforce automatically creates a Household Account for each Contact record you create. If you have more than two people in the same Household, use NPSP Data Import to import the records. Here's how to adjust your import template to accommodate this.

For each new Contact in the Household, add a new row containing Contact1 and include the new Contact in the Contact2 column. Salesforce will add that new Contact (in the Contact2 column) to Contact1's Household Account. You can repeat this process for any additional Contacts in the Household.

For example, let's say you want to import Jane Wilcox (Contact1), her husband, and her two kids. Add Jane Wilcox's Salesforce ID in the Contact1 Imported column for each Contact you want to import into her Household.
