Looking to bulk add your past data into Pawlytics? We're happy to help!
If you're ready to get your historical data into Pawlytics, our team is here to help so you don't have to manually enter it all! Below are some frequently asked questions for uploading your past data. When you're ready to get started, just email lizz@pawlytics.com!
What does uploading data cost?
If you choose to clean your own data, you must use our template to ensure a smooth import. Prior to import, our team will check that the data is the right format and let you know if it's not. Once approved, your data will be uploaded for the following flat fees:
- Pet Data: $65
- Person Data: $35
- Partner Data: $35
If you would like us to clean your data for you, we charge $0.70 per row.
What does "cleaning my data" mean?
Cleaning means going through line by line to make sure all of the information will map correctly to data points that exist in Pawlytics. For example any cat listed as breed "DSH" will need to be changed to breed "Domestic Short Hair" to properly import into the system.
Cleaning also removes duplicate entries and makes sure that every person or partner entity exists as needed. For example you can't transfer a pet to a rescue if that rescue partner doesn't also exist.
What information can be uploaded through the data import?
Pawlytics can bulk import your pets, people, and partner information. We cannot upload files or pictures. Those will need to be manually added by you after the initial data import.
I'm not sure if I want all my past data in the system yet. Can I set up my account now and request the data import later?
Yes! We want to make sure you're absolutely certain about moving forward with Pawlytics before you go through the whole process of collecting your data and sending it to us. You can request a data import at any time.
What if some of the pets or people are already created in Pawlytics, will I have duplicates?
You'll need to make sure the pets and people you've already created in your account are removed from the data file you send us.
What if a pet has more than one intake/outcome event?
If a pet has more than one intake and outcome event, we recommend inputting the most recent intake and outcome events. Only one intake and one outcome date can be uploaded.
This seems confusing and I still have questions.
No worries at all! We totally get the frustration. Email your questions to lizz@pawlytics.com and we'll be happy to help make things clearer :)
