Moving from Insightly to Doodali
Insightly exports each record type as a CSV from its system settings.
Updated 30 September 2026
1. Export from Insightly
- In Insightly, open System Settings → Data Management → Export.
- Export Contacts and Organizations as CSV files.
- Download them.
2. Import into Doodali
- In Doodali, open the business you’re bringing across, then go to Settings → Import and export and press Import clients from a CSV (or press Import on the Clients page).
- Choose the file. Doodali reads the column headings and matches them for you: company name, email, phone, address, VAT number, notes, and the contact’s name, email, phone and job title.
- Check the matches. Anything Doodali couldn’t match is set to “Skip”: choose a field for it, or leave it out.
- Press Import. Each row becomes a client with its main contact. More people at a company that’s already there are added as its contacts, and clients already in Doodali are skipped, so you can import again safely.
