Salesforce Data Import
Salesforce offers several ways to import your data. You can import up to 50,000 records into Salesforce.
Required Editions
| Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |
| Your edition determines the types of objects you can import. |
Important Salesforce has replaced the
individual import wizards for accounts, contacts, and other objects with the
Data Import Wizard. Individual import wizards open in small windows, while the
Data Import Wizard opens in a full browser with dataimporter.app at the end of
the URL. From Setup, enter Data Import Wizard in the
Quick Find box, then select Data Import
Wizard. The options you see depend on your permissions.
You can import data from ACT!, Outlook, and any program that can save data in comma-delimited text format (.csv), such as Excel or GoldMine.
Note If commas aren’t appropriate for your locale, use a tab or other delimiter.
Specify your delimiter in Data Loader Settings (Settings |
Settings).
The number of records you can import depends on your permissions and the type of data that you import. You can import as many records as allowed, as long as you don’t exceed the overall data storage limits for your Salesforce org.
