which companies and people (users) do you want to send to custify? hierarchy what is your data structure? do you use parent child relationships? do you have people assigned to multiple companies? do you have other entities that you want to track as child companies (e g projects)? attributes what are the important attributes for companies and people that you want to have in custify? events what actions do you want to track? do you want to track them at people or company level? do you want to see them in real time or aggregated under a daily event? what metadata is important for each event? custify tip attributes https //kb custify com/custify overview do not bubble up from people to companies in a parent child relationship and are not affected by events for example, if you have a “login” event and a “number of logins” attribute, you need to update the attribute as well in addition to sending the event to custify events bubble up from people to companies once you determine what data points are relevant to you, you can send it to custify in the following ways send data automatically via an external integration the ideal way is to send and update data automatically by connecting custify with an external data source sending data automatically eliminates the possibility of human error and compromising your data, which can occur when you input data manually here are

first revenue dashboards to show months of history rather than starting from a flat line this is most useful when you onboard onto custify and your billing data lives elsewhere — you can backfill the mrr timeline retroactively in a single import, and the revenue dashboard rebuilds mrr movements to match to use it, navigate to settings data importer new import and select the historical mrr card download the template, which contains three columns company id, mrr, and date each row represents a point in time when the mrr for a company changed custify fills in the daily values between dates and forward carries the last value to today, so you only need one row per change rather than one row per day after mapping the three required columns, an existing mrr history options panel appears with four choices for how to treat data that is already in custify • clear history from first imported record onward (default) for each company in the file, deletes existing records from the earliest csv date through today • clear all mrr history for imported companies wipes all stored history for the companies present in the file • clear all mrr history for all companies removes mrr history account wide this option is locked behind a confirmation checkbox • keep existing mrr history only upserts the imported rows, no deletion observation the account must have an mrr attribute configured under settings general before you run this import rows referencing a company id that does not exist in custify, or carrying an invalid mrr or date value, are rejected per row and surfaced in the import summary the current mrr attribute value on each company is not changed by this import — only the historical timeline is populated feel free to reach out to your dedicated csm for any further questions
