Hi
- Convert the XLSX file to Google Sheet file using the link:
- Assuming you’re going to use Zoho CRM:
- Find a module using the data available in the Google Sheet file (ie: contact name, email, phone, potential name, account name, etc)
- Update the module: add information from the Google Sheet file to the module you just found
By module I mean contacts, deals (or potentials), accounts, etc.
If you are going to use a different CRM, the steps are similar, but the action may be different. Maybe you will be able to “find and update” the module, and save one step.

Hey
regarding the question about the CRM. I think this is always hard to answer. I think you should have a look at several ones. Pipedrive is for example also a nice tool that integrates nicely into all kinds of other tools. Hope that helps.

Hi
Disclaimer, I haven’t tried that myself…
Once you’ve completed that step, I would trigger another Zap via a webhook that takes the data from the Google Sheet and loads it into your CRM. For that, you probably would want to Loop over the rows and upload them one by one:
