Okay... I went to the help portion of my PWS to try and import all my contacts and that wasn't working so I called Tech Support and he was pretty much snotty and told me to read the help section and stupid me... I forgot to ask HIS name so I could call and thank his supervisor for his help...
:(

SO... I'm thinking that someone here is probably WAY smarter than him anyway and can walk me though this process. I actually thought I had it once but it didn't happen after all. TIA for any help you can be.
 
You cannot get contacts from P3 into your PWS.

They have not worked on that yet. Please email them and request it so it will get put to higher priority!

You can only send the old PP contacts into your PWS.

bumping....
 
I saw your post about this about a week ago... and it made me decide that I wanted to do the same thing! I JUST figured this out... and clicked right over to tell you how (I've been trying to figure out how to get all my PPP+ contacts to the PWS for awhile).

Here is what I did:
1. exported my contacts from PPP+ into .csv (or was it .cvs?)
2. imported those contacts into Outlook
3. Opened PWS and clicked on Customer Connection
4. Click on Import Contacts
5. Choose "Outlook" from the VERY bottom of the pull down menu - all of the other Outlook options gave me errors
6. Your contacts should be there!!

Now, email them something!!

I hope this helps you :)
 
Just to let you know, I am still having trouble importing all of the addresses... but all of the emails and names got there just fine (which is all I really need it for!). I'll refer back to PPP+ if I need phone #s and addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I successfully import my contacts into my Pampered Chef account?

To import your contacts into your Pampered Chef account, you can use the import feature available in the contacts section. Typically, you will need to prepare a CSV file with your contacts' information, ensuring it follows the required format. Once your file is ready, navigate to the contacts area, select the import option, and upload your CSV file.

What format should my CSV file be in for importing contacts?

Your CSV file should include headers that match the fields in your Pampered Chef account, such as First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Phone Number, etc. Make sure there are no extra spaces or special characters in the headers, and that each contact's information is correctly aligned under the appropriate header.

Are there any limitations on the number of contacts I can import?

What should I do if my contacts do not import correctly?

If your contacts do not import correctly, first check your CSV file for formatting errors, such as incorrect headers or missing information. You can also review any error messages provided by the system during the import process. If issues persist, consider reaching out to Pampered Chef support for assistance.

Can I edit my contacts after importing them?

Yes, you can edit your contacts after importing them. Simply navigate to your contacts list, select the contact you wish to edit, and make the necessary changes. Be sure to save any updates to ensure the information is current and accurate.
