Custom Data Importer

Streamline bulk data management through intelligent CSV imports

What Is It?
The Custom Object Importer is a marketplace app that eliminates the tedious process of manually creating and managing custom data structures. Instead of adding custom fields, records, and relationships one at a time through the interface, this tool enables you to bulk import hundreds or thousands of data entries through simple CSV uploads.

The Problem

Users working with custom objects (like Products, Services, Inventory, Client Assets, or any custom data structure) face significant challenges:

  - Setting up dozens of custom fields across multiple objects

  - Migrating existing data from spreadsheets or other systems

  - Updating hundreds of records at once

  - Creating relationships between different object types at scale

  - Managing location-specific configurations across multiple accounts

Manual data entry is time-consuming, error-prone, and doesn't scale for businesses with substantial data management needs.

Core Functionality

  1. Custom Object Management

  - Import and configure custom objects using your unique object keys

  - Support for all custom object types

  2. Custom Field Creation

  - Bulk import field definitions with full configuration (data types,

  validations, display settings)

  - Support for 14 field types: text, email, phone, date, numerical,

  monetary, checkboxes, dropdowns, radio buttons, file uploads, and more

  3. Record Operations (Create, Update, Export)

  - Create: Bulk import new records without IDs - the system generates them

  automatically

  - Update: Modify existing records by including their IDs in your CSV

  - Export: Download existing records with all field data for backup or

  modification

  4. Custom Values Management

  - Import and update global key-value pairs used across your entire account

  - Manage company settings, default values, and configuration parameters at

   scale

  5. Relationship Management

  - Create relationships between different custom object

  records

  - Link Products to Customers, Services to Orders, or any custom

  relationship structure

  - Maintain referential integrity across your data ecosystem
