CSV Upload
Upload external data into Peel!
If you have external datasets that are not automatically pulled into Peel through an integration, you can import them into your account manually through our Add CSV feature.
Dataset Types Available for Import
In Peel, you are able to import the following dataset types:
- Customer Tags
- Ad Spend
- Order Tags
- Product Costs (COGS)
Best Practices:
- Even if you only upload "required" fields, the data will still pair so long as it's in the correct format
- Please make sure to delete empty columns that don't have data in their cells - while not always a necessary measure, doing this will help ensure that your upload goes smoothly and that the data gets pulled into Peel correctly
- When adding values to the "ID" column, please make sure that they are unique values - otherwise, this may cause issues when uploading the data to Peel
