Account ID - What does this mean?
The second column in the Excel template is for Account ID.
To update an existing Vinosmith Account populate this cell with the Vinosmith Account ID. If you are working with an export from Vinosmith then this cell will already be populated.
To create a brand new Account then leave this cell blank.
Important Note about updating/importing the Excel file.
If the Account ID column is provided, an existing account is searched for with that ID. If found, it will be updated with ALL provided columns.
If no Account ID is provided, then the Name field is used to identify an existing Account by Exact Match on Name. If found, that existing Account will be updated. If an existing Account by Exact Match cannot be found, a new Account will be created.
In ALL scenarios ALL provided column (cell values) are taken as-is, including blank values
Sales Reps
To update the Sales Reps assignments in Vinosmith add the user's email address in the Sales Rep column. To assign multiple reps to an account, add each email separated by a comma.
