Importing pickup or delivery tasks
Upload a CSV file to add new pickup and dropoff tasks in bulk.
This article will take you through the process of (1) preparing and (2) uploading your file.
Step 1: Prepare your CSV file
Breadstack Delivery only supports file uploads in CSV format. Please note that the total file size may not exceed 5,000 tasks or 10 MB.
Download this sample file to view the columns your sheet must include, along with some sample data.
As you prepare your own sheet, keep all column headers exactly the same as in the sample file. In addition, note the following requirements:
- In the columns Recipient Phone and Sender Phone, write phone numbers to include the country code and area code, without spaces or dashes. An example of a Canadian phone number is 16042292495
- In the Delivery After and Delivery Before columns, use the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM.
- In the column Pickup Location Name, input the location address exactly as it is saved in Breadstack Delivery. (Check by going to Settings > Stores and clicking on the store name to view the address.)
- In the column Driver Name, make sure driver names are written exactly as they are saved in Breadstack Delivery. (Check by looking at the driver's name in Settings > Drivers.)
- If a task is dropoff-only (i.e. does not include a pickup task), enter FALSE in the Include Pickup Task column. If the task includes a pickup, enter TRUE.
Step 2: Upload your file
- Once your file is ready, go into Breadstack Delivery and click Task List from the left-hand column.
- Click Import Tasks in the upper right corner.
- In the popup, click Choose File select your spreadsheet. Note that the import may take several minutes if you have a large amount of data, and you won't be able to use Breadstack Delivery during this time.
If all your tasks are imported successfully, you'll see the below message:
If any of your tasks cannot be imported, you'll see a message indicating which rows contain issues. You'll then have a chance to correct the issues before re-uploading the file.
