Sample CSV File

The following CSV sample includes two records for the Contact object. Each record contains six fields. You can include any field for an object that you're processing. If you use this file to update existing accounts, any fields that aren't defined in the CSV file are ignored during the update. You must include all required fields when you create a record.
