Importing from Excel / CSV¶
Stackify can create a new card directly from an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file. The AI automatically maps columns to fields and infers the correct field type for each column.
Import a file¶
- From the home screen, click + → Import file.
- Drag and drop your file onto the upload area, or click Browse to select it.
- Stackify reads your file and displays a field mapping preview:
- Each column from your file appears as a field.
- A detected field type is shown next to each column name.
- Review the mapping:
- Rename any field by clicking its name.
- Change a field type using the dropdown.
- Uncheck any columns you don't want to import.
- Click Import to create the card.
Once the import completes, you land in the new card's grid view with all your data loaded.
AI-generated metadata¶
After import, Stackify's AI automatically generates:
- A suggested card name based on your data
- A card description
- A description for each field
- Suggested tags and categories
- Data quality warnings (e.g. missing values, inconsistent formats)
You can accept, edit, or dismiss each suggestion before saving.
Large files
Files up to 100,000 rows are supported. A progress bar shows the import status for large files.
Import into an existing card¶
You can also add rows to an existing card from a file:
- Open the card and click Import in the toolbar.
- Upload your file and map the columns to the card's existing fields.
- Click Import to append the rows.
Note
Importing into an existing card appends records — it does not overwrite or replace existing data.
