Import an Impulze or SARAL CSV into a gifting Kanban
Exporting creators from Impulze, SARAL, or another outreach tool? Here's how to map columns to a gifting pipeline (package → post) without retyping everything.
Why export instead of copy-paste
Discovery tools (Impulze, SARAL, custom Sheets) are great at shortlists. They don't track shipments or post-send follow-ups.
A CSV export is the bridge: keep your sourcing, move operational tracking to a Kanban.
- ✓One source of truth for shipments
- ✓No more handle-by-handle copy-paste
- ✓Follow-ups from an “awaiting post” column
5 steps for a clean import
Whatever the source tool, the pattern stays the same.
- 01
Export the shortlist (CSV or Excel → UTF-8 CSV)
- 02
Keep handle, email, platform, deal notes
- 03
Add missing gifting columns (SKU, tracking, status)
- 04
Check duplicate handles before import
- 05
Import into Seedlane (or open the CSV in Sheets meanwhile)
Impulze / SARAL columns → Seedlane
Impulze and SARAL typically export name, handle, email, followers, notes. Seedlane mainly needs identity + pipeline status + shipment fields.
Audience columns (followers, ER) can live in notes. The gifting Kanban prioritizes “who received / who posted”.
Common import mistakes
Most failed imports come from encoding or headers.
- ✓Comma vs semicolon CSV (locale Excel)
- ✓Renamed headers (Instagram vs handle)
- ✓Empty rows or duplicate handles
