# Import Leads to your Pipeline

Import leads directly to your customized sales pipeline(s) very easily

If you're starting to implement your [sales process](https://www.nocrm.io/academy/how-to-set-up-a-consistent-sales-process) into noCRM, and wish to import qualified business opportunities [into your customised pipeline](https://help.nocrm.io/en/articles/21-pipeline-s-setup.md), **use the Lead Import feature** available from the Leads menu of your account.

To access it, open the **Leads** menu from the top navigation bar, then click **Import leads** at the bottom of the menu.

⚠️ It's not possible to update existing leads through an import.

Once you're on the Lead Import page, you can upload your file and import your lead information into noCRM.

**How to proceed to importing your leads:**

Prepare your file to ensure your data is properly imported. If you don't have a file yet, a template is available inside your account, that matches your account configuration.

-   Your CSV file can contain up to 3000 rows.
    
-   Date format must be YYYY-MM-DD
    
-   Accepted statuses are: To do, Standby, Won, Lost, and Cancelled
    
-   Ensure phone numbers are formatted as strings, and not numbers. The best is to have international numbers such as +12345678899
