CSV Import
Bulk import posts into FeedIndex from a CSV file.
Import existing feedback from other tools by uploading a CSV file. Available on Starter plan and above.
Format
Your CSV file should have these columns:
| Column | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
title | Yes | Post title (max 120 characters) |
description | No | Post body (max 5,000 characters) |
status | No | Status label (matched to existing board statuses) |
email | No | Submitter email |
votes | No | Initial vote count (default: 0) |
How to import
- Navigate to your board in the dashboard
- Click Import in the board toolbar
- Upload your CSV file (max 500 posts per import)
- Review the preview table — FeedIndex shows how statuses will be matched
- Confirm to import
Status matching
FeedIndex matches your CSV status values to the board's existing statuses using exact, case-insensitive matching on the status label or slug. For example, "In Progress" and "in_progress" both match the "In Progress" status.
Unmatched statuses default to the board's first status (typically "Under Review" or "New").
Tips
- Export from your current tool first, then adjust the CSV columns to match the format above
- All imported posts are automatically approved (no moderation queue)
- Import is additive — it won't overwrite or duplicate existing posts
