Batch updating and importing of relationships

Feature · 16 urgent · 23 important to me ·

Now that we can track and assign relationships between people and organizations, it would be extremely beneficial if the batch update feature, and the import fields were updated to reflect relationship types.

    Not having relationships be updating through API is like building a house with no door in it. Your team has built a great platform with many great tools and fields, please empower your client to make this top. At this moment I’m using an external by pushing service just to use custom fields to mimic the relationships field. Having the relationship field and limiting ability to be updated only by the admin might as well we don’t have it Please please put this on top of the list !!!

    How can we really manage our people database if we can’t import and export relationships? I want the ability to export key contacts within our partner organisations.

    Also being able to export relationships is critical. We can export almost every other piece of data, why not relationships?!

    Relationships is a potentially powerful feature, especially in the LAI model (linkage, ability, interest…where linkage includes relationships) when we need to match relationships. Having the ability to batch upload these relationships is critical as no one has time to individually map thousands of relationships…without batch, its simply a feature that is only good in marketing materials or very small databases. Please consider adding the ability to batch update relationships.

    I’m most interested in the ability to import and export the organization profile information as well as the people they have relationships with. This is particularly important for reporting and mailings.
