Expert Tips
E-mail addresses make life easier.
Levitate looks at the e-mail address when creating a new contact. This prevents contact duplication and ensures the contact’s profile in Levitate is populated with the correct information.
There are two ways to add tags in your spreadsheet.
- You may have one column dedicated to all tags. Each client’s row would have one cell with all of their tags separated by a comma.
2. You may choose to have multiple columns dedicated to a unique tag. Each client’s row would have multiple cells with one tag per cell.
