Directory Data Import
We can import your church directory information from source files you may have for an extra fee. Below is an outline of what is needed.
When exporting your data from other church management system, please export with as much information as possible. The more information that is available, then the more data that will be available in Lightpost.
Critically important, certain specific fields are required for a quality data import.
Required Fields
Family ID - some identifier that links family units together
Family Role - an identifier that indicates who is the "head of household", "spouse" and "child", at a minimum.
Gender
Optional Fields
Preferred First Name
Email
Baptism Status
Date of Baptism
Allergies
Once you have your data file ready, please request a file upload link to securely send member data to Lightpost.
A sample export file is available on request.
Photos
Family or directory photos can only be imported if they are provided as URLs to publicly accessible images.
Images embedded in an Excel file or provided in a folder or zip file as separate data cannot be imported.
