Mass Importing and Exporting Team Members #

The Team Module allows you to quickly upload or update many team members at once using a template.


Step 1: Navigate to the Team Module #

  • Go to the left-hand navigation bar and click Team.
  • Here you’ll see all current team members.
  • If no one is added yet, start by entering at least one individual (e.g., the CEO or owner).

Step 2: Choose Export or Copy to Clipboard #

  • From the top right corner, click the three dots.
  • Select either:
    • Export to Excel → saves the file as an editable spreadsheet, OR
    • Copy to Clipboard → lets you paste directly into Google Sheets or Excel.

Step 3: Edit the Template #

  • The template will include:
    • Name
    • Department
    • Job Title
    • Start Date
    • Manager (who they report to)
  • You can leave fields blank if needed.
  • Do not delete the code in Column A — it’s required for uploading.
  • Headshots are not included; each individual uploads their own.

Step 4: Import or Paste Back into Propel #

  • Once you’ve updated your list, copy the entire table including headers.
  • Return to the three dots menu → choose Paste from Clipboard → click Apply Changes.
  • Or, select Import and upload your saved Excel file (with headers intact).

Step 5: Confirm Changes #

  • Your updated team will now appear in the Team Module.
  • This process is useful both when:
    • Setting up a company for the first time, OR
    • Making large updates to your org chart.

Pro Tip: Always double-check the headers match exactly before importing, to avoid errors.
