Import Statistics

After you import your file, you’ll see it appear under ‘Past Imports’ along with 4 statistics:

Created: The number of rows from the file that resulted in a new contact being created. Note: If you're importing Lead information, it will be imported as well.
Updated: The number of rows from the file that resulted in a contact or leads being updated.
Skipped: The number of rows from the file that were skipped because the contact already existed. This occurs because you selected "Skip" in the deduplication settings during import.
Failed: The number of rows from the file failed to be imported. This can occur due to an incorrect format, bad data, or data that exceeds a fields character limit.

Question 3

Why Can’t I Enroll a Lead in a Playbook?

Accepted Answer

One Playbook at a Time: The primary contact within the lead is already in a Playbook; contacts can only be enrolled in one playbook at a time so any contact already in a playbook will be skipped.
You are not the lead owner: If you are not an Owner, Admin, or Power User, only the lead owner can enroll contacts in Playbooks.
Unverified Emails: The email status of contacts being enrolled may be Unverified or Invalid. This can cause contacts to skip all of the email steps resulting in the playbook finishing immediately.

What can you do to solve this?

If the contact is already in another Playbook, eject them and you will now be able to enroll them in a Playbook.
If you’re not the lead owner, open the lead and look for ‘Lead Owner’ under Lead Info -> Change the lead owner to yourself -> Click Save -> and try again.
If you'd like to contact unverified emails, turn on the first Playbook safety setting "Send Emails to Unverified Emails (Avoid for Cold Outreach)". Invalid emails will always skip straight through a Playbook, but the email status can be updated in the lead profile page.

If you tried all of these and you’re still having trouble enrolling a contact into a Playbook, please reach out via the support chat bubble on the bottom right.
