how to import records without an email address?
May 11, 2009, 12:18:41 pm
Several records I am importing do not have email addresses.  All have extrnal ID so I don't need email to be a required field when importing.

How do I import records who don't have an email address?

thanks.

Check your Duplicate Rules aren't requiring them - set so only requires First and Last, though from memory I thought that was the default.

thanks.  I changed that and I also selected on import, not to check for duplicates since I know there are none already.

Thanks for both answers and I did both and one of them worked, not sure which.
