Moving from Blinkbid

Importing your Blinkbid jobs list

Every job, client and contact in one go, from the spreadsheet Blinkbid exports.

The jobs list is the quickest way to bring your whole history across. Each job comes in with its number, name, client, contact and date. There are no amounts in the list: those come from the PDFs.

  1. In Blinkbid, export the list on the Jobs page as a spreadsheet.
  2. Export the archived jobs as well.
  3. In BidWrap, click Settings in the side menu, then Import in the list down the side.
  4. Under Blinkbid jobs list, choose the spreadsheet file.
  5. Choose the Business name, or leave it on Match the names in the file to use each job’s Blinkbid personality.
  6. Tick Treat invoiced jobs older than 3 months as paid if those are all settled.
  7. Click Import the jobs list.
  8. Repeat for the archived jobs.

Importing the same list again only adds jobs that are not here yet, so nothing is doubled.
