Step 4: Map the unique identifiers amd choose your settings
- Map the unique identifiers: this is an important step. Choose a unique column identifier in CSV that has no duplicate value, so each row can be identified. Choose a Webflow collection field (plain text only) to contain that value. Ideally a slug.
- Choose your settings: create a new collection item in Webflow or ignore if the Webflow field does not already exist.
- Save and continue
Step 5: Map your CSV columns to Webflow fields
- Your CSV clumns and Webflow fields will appear automatically in each column (CSV: left column; Webflow: right column).
- Choose the CSV columns you want to sync on the left-hand side.
- Choose the Webflow fields you want to sync each CSV column to on the right-hand side
- Once all has been set up correctly, click on "Save"
Step 6: Run your import
- You can choose to run your migration immediately, or conduct a "Test & Review", which we recommend.
- When you are ready, click "Sync", and see the magic happen!
Please note you can always come back later on and amend any of your setups by clicking on "Edit".
You can also delete your sync by clicking on "Delete". Please note the sync setup & history is lost once you have deleted it.
You are now ready to run your first CSV to Webflow sync with PowerImporter!
