Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Xperience by Kentico >= 26.3.2

  • https://docs.xperience.io/xp/changelog#Changelog-Hotfix(June29,2023)

Installation

Add the package to your application using the .NET CLI

dotnet add package Kentico.Xperience.Contacts.Importer

Add to your application dependencies

builder.Services.AddKentico();
// ... other registrations
services.AddContactsImport();

Add to your middleware pipeline

app.InitKentico();
// ... other registrations
app.UseContactsImport();

Usage

1. open contact importer application <br>
2. select file
3. select mode
   1. Delete - this mode will delete contact by ContactGUID (CSV shall contain column with ContactGUID header)
   2. Insert (skip existing) - this mode will import contacts (CSV shall contain column with ContactGUID)
4. "Assign to contact group" - all contact (existing included) will be assigned to specified group
5. Delimiter - delimiter used for CSV (common are ;, ,, \\t, ..)
6. "Batch size" - size of batch used for database operation, for instances with limited resources this value should not exeed 5000, lower than 100 is not reccomended.
7. Click "Send file" button

Depends on resources available to application, but degraded application performance is expected during import.

Notes:

• do not close window with progress, file is uploaded from that window.
• do not manipulate file during import, close all applications write access to file (or lock)
