CRM Data Loading Strategy – Key Steps

  1. Intro Meeting and Share CRM Import Template with Citylitics to Map Data Schema
    This is to help accelerate the mapping/matching process between the delivered data and the receiving database.
  2. Review a Citylitics generated Mapping File that Captures all Data Logic and Required Fields
    This Review is a walk-through to ensure all data transformations and fields are properly set.
  3. Create a Test CSV file that has all the mapped fields and some Sample Data to test
    This will give your CRM administrator a chance to test the import workflow and report any issues.
  4. Confirm Testing Complete and Sign-off on all mapped fields
    The CSV flatfile available after each report will follow the same format that is agreed upon. 
  5. Recurring Delivery of CSV Flatfile after each report
    Once Mapping sign-off is complete, Citylitics will enable the custom CSV file to be downloaded from the Citylitics Platform Dashboard within 2 business days of each completed Citylitics Report
