How to import contact addresses
Contact records can contain information about several addresses of different types: business, home, delivery, etc. Only one of these addresses can be set as the primary address and copied to the address column of the [Contact] object.
First, prepare the import file. Each row in the Excel file must contain a contact’s full name that must be identical to the full name value of the contact record, one address and its type. Select the contact’s primary address in the [Primary] column and set the “True” value. For the rest of addresses, set the “False” value. Specify country, city and postal code in the separate columns of the imported file (Fig. 1).
