# Import Campaigns

## How to import existing campaigns 

To get started, you can import all your current campaigns into the system.

**Here's how:**

1. In the left sidebar, go to the **“Lists”** category.
2. Click on the **“campaigns”** tab.
3. Click the **three-dot icon** in the upper right corner.
4. Select **“Import ”**
5. Download the **“Campaign Template”** Excel file.
6. Fill in the template with your existing campaign information.
   1. Campaign Number - Enter a unique number that does not already exist in the campaign list.
   2. Campaign Name - This name is used internally.
   3. Friendly Name - This name is used externally and is visible to the donor on receipts and invoices.
   4. Parent name - Enter the broader title for these types of campaigns. You can create nested sub-campaigns up to 5 levels deep, with each child campaign able to have its own sub-campaigns.
7. Save and close the file.
8. Drag the file into the upload area or click to **choose file**.
9. Click **“Upload.”**

Your campaigns are now imported and will appear in the campaigns list.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.donary.com/cloud-drm/getting-started/pre-start-checklist/import-campaigns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
