Best Practice for Spouses: The best way to keep spouses organized in Canopy is to:
- Add each person as an individual client
- Mark the secondary spouse as inactive
- Link them to the primary client's record
Linking the secondary spouse allows you to still communicate with both parties without the inactive spouse counting toward your contact limit!
Importing contacts into Canopy requires using a .CSV file with specific headings.
Use the templates attached to this article to make sure your .CSV file has all the correct headings and details. This will make for a seamless import process. Please note that while any user can access previously created contact import templates, only the creator or admin users can edit existing templates.
