If there are any issues during the import process, it may be caused by one of the following mandatory fields missing.


Name or Company (name, company)

Field Variable: name, company 


Include either the "name" or "company" fields. It is also possible to include both. 


Name: Combines the first and last name. 

Company: Company name


Listing Type (listing_type)

Field Variable: listing_type


Company: Will display the company name in search results

Individual: Displays the individual's name in search results (commonly used for medical or professional directories).


Country Code (country_code)

Field Variable: country_code


Two-letter country codes are assigned to each listing. Although only the country_code is strictly required, omitting the zip_code and city fields prevents accurate geo-coding, resulting in an incomplete user experience.


Profession Name (profession_name)

Field Variable: profession_name


Top-level categories associated with each member. This is the minimum required to have members import and display properly.
