# 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.
