Importing Links

If you have existing links in a spreadsheet or another tool, you can import them in bulk rather than adding them one at a time.

CSV format

The importer accepts a CSV with any combination of these columns:

Column	Required	Notes
slug	yes	Unique path on your domain
destination_url	yes on create	Where visitors are sent
label	no	Human-readable name
category	no	Grouping tag
fallback_url	no	Override destination if unreachable

Only columns present in your CSV will be touched. If you import a row for a slug that already exists, Conduit updates only the fields included in your file. Columns you omit are left unchanged.

Running the import

1. From the link list, click Import.
2. Paste your CSV directly into the text area, or click Load from file to open a local file.
3. Click Preview import to see a dry run — Conduit shows which rows it will create, update, or skip and why.
4. If the preview looks right, click Confirm import.

What gets skipped

Rows are skipped if:

• The slug is missing or contains invalid characters
• The destination URL is missing on a new link (existing links without a destination column are updated in place)
• Adding the row would push you past your plan's link limit

The preview step shows skip reasons for each affected row before you commit.
