Note: All leads added to Pipedrive must be linked to a contact in Pipedrive.
To import leads from a spreadsheet, go to Leads inbox > ”...“ > Import leads.

You can select any of your lead/deal custom fields on the right, as well as the three default lead fields:
- Lead title
- Lead owner
- Pipedrive system ID
Note: The Pipedrive system ID is needed if you're updating existing Pipedrive data using a spreadsheet. For more information about that process, check out this guide.
Mandatory fields
Importing leads requires two fields:
- Lead title
- Person name or Organization name

Note: If your import is successful, you can find the leads you’ve imported in your Leads Inbox.
