Import steps
- Go to Import in the sidebar
- Upload your file — Poncdash detects the format automatically
- Map columns to Poncdash fields (pre-mapped for known formats)
- Review the preview and check for errors
- Confirm — contacts are created immediately
Platform tagging
When you import from a recognised platform (e.g. LinkedIn, Google), Poncdash automatically records that those contacts exist on that platform. This feeds into connection threads — the more platforms a contact is on, the more resilient your connection.
You can see platform presence on any contact's detail page via the thread indicator.
💡Duplicate detection runs during import. Contacts with the same email as an existing contact will be merged, not duplicated.
