CSV Import
Migrate your data in minutes, not months
CSV Import lets you migrate donors, recipients, sponsorships, and payment history from any system into HYS in minutes. The guided import wizard walks you through field mapping, validates every record before it touches your database, and provides detailed error reports so you can fix issues before they become problems. For organizations that prefer a hands-off approach, our team offers a managed import service for $45.

The Problem
Without a reliable import tool, migrating to a new platform means months of manual data entry, lost records, and duplicated contacts that pollute your database from day one.
The Solution
With HYS CSV Import, your data migrates cleanly through a guided wizard with validation and error reporting, so you start on the new platform with a database you can trust.

How it works
Upload your CSV
Upload a CSV file from any source -- your old CRM, spreadsheets, or accounting software. Supports donors, recipients, sponsorships, and payments.
Map your fields
The wizard auto-detects common field names and lets you manually map any remaining columns to HYS fields with a drag-and-drop interface.
Validate and preview
Every record is validated before import. The system flags missing required fields, format errors, and potential duplicates so you can fix them upfront.
Import with confidence
Review the validation report, resolve any issues, and import. Detailed error logs are available for any records that could not be processed.
How this feeds Aida's work queue
Every csv import signal becomes an owned, reviewed action on your team's queue
In HelpYouServe, the context this captures lives on one record and rolls up into Aida's daily queue. Aida, your AI Development Director, turns it into an owned next action with a deadline, prepares the next step in your voice with citations, and your team reviews and approves before anything goes out. Aida adds development capacity, she does not replace your team.
HelpYouServe is the platform underneath: donor records, giving pages, sponsorships, communications, reporting, tasks, approvals, and audit history on one system.
Source context, owner, deadline, AI draft, your approval
