Can I import any non-standard fields?
Yes. Subscriber custom fields let you store information beyond the standard profile fields, such as a loyalty tier, membership type or preferred store. You can populate those fields from your spreadsheet by selecting an existing active subscriber custom field during Map columns.
Before importing:
- Open Settings → Custom fields.
- Check that each subscriber custom field you need already exists and is active.
- Create any missing fields before uploading your spreadsheet.
Match your spreadsheet column to the custom field
For a Loyalty tier custom field:
- Locate the spreadsheet column containing values such as Gold or Silver.
- Choose your existing Loyalty tier field in the selector.
- Click Accept to confirm the mapping.
Taguchi may suggest a field when the heading matches:
- Its saved field key, such as
loyalty_tier. - Its display name, such as Loyalty tier.
- An exported heading, such as
Custom: loyalty_tier.
Check the suggestion before confirming it. If more than one field could match, select the intended field yourself.
| Spreadsheet column | Example value | Select in Taguchi |
|---|---|---|
| Membership level | Gold | Your existing Loyalty tier custom field |
| Preferred shop | Melbourne | Your existing Preferred store custom field |
Confirm or explicitly ignore every other column, then choose Review import. Check the custom-field mappings alongside the subscriber identifier before starting.
If you are updating existing subscribers, leave a custom field out of the file, or ignore its column, to preserve its current values. A blank cell in a mapped custom-field column can clear the subscriber's existing value.
If an integration manages this data, coordinate changes to its custom-field definitions and values with your integration owner or Taguchi Support.
