Importing Services into Field Services
Already have a service catalog? You do not need to rebuild it. Import brings your services into Field Services from a CSV file or from the services you already set up, so you can start taking bookings faster.
Note: Field Services is currently in private beta and is available to selected accounts. Features and screens may change as we improve them.

What can I import?
You can import services from two sources:
| Source | What it does |
|---|---|
| CSV | Upload a spreadsheet with one row per service, then match its columns to Field Services fields. |
| Services | Copy services you already set up under Calendars > Services, with their categories, variants and add-ons. |
Note: Services whose name already exists in Field Services are skipped. Existing services are not updated.
Where to find Import
- Go to Field Services > Services & staff.
- Click Import under Catalog.

- Use the date filters and the status filter to narrow the list.
- Click the chart icon under Statistics to see how many items were created, skipped or failed.
What to do after importing

- Test a booking on your booking page. See Field Services Settings: Online Booking.
Frequently asked questions
Will importing change my existing Services?
No. Importing only creates services in Field Services.
I imported again and some services were missing. Why?
Services with a name that already exists in Field Services are skipped. Rename the service or remove the existing one, then import again.
Can I import from other software like Housecall Pro or Jobber?
Not yet. These importers are planned. For now, export your data to a CSV file and use the CSV importer.
