Sample CSV File

The 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 a CSV file to update existing accounts, fields that aren’t defined in the CSV file are ignored during the update. Include all required fields when you create a record.

This sample sets a relationship between the records that you’re processing and existing contact records with the email addresses buyer@salesforcesample.com and cto@salesforcesample.com. If you try to insert the records in this sample into an org that doesn’t contain contacts with those email addresses, the insertion fails.

To use this sample CSV for testing purposes, either remove ReportsTo.Email and its associated values or pre-insert contacts in your org that have these email addresses.

Ian,Dury,Chief Imagineer,cto@salesforcesample.com,,"World-renowned expert in fuzzy logic design.

The Description field for the last record includes a line break, which is why the field value is enclosed in double quotes.
