Business Intake / Import · Field Guide
Business Intake File
A supported business export or structured file used to discover possible customers, properties, services, equipment, or related records.
Why LAWNSNOWAPP asks for it
It lets a company bring the data it already has instead of retyping every record.
How LAWNSNOWAPP uses it
LAWNSNOWAPP first discovers structure and stages a preview. It does not commit discovered business records until the Owner reviews mappings and approves the import.
Example
A CSV of customers or a multi-sheet XLSX exported from an existing business system.
If you leave it blank
Discovery cannot begin until a supported file is selected.
If you change it later
Selecting a different file creates a different discovery preview; the source file itself is not rewritten.
Financial, compliance, or safety note
Review sensitive exports before upload and include only business data needed for onboarding.
Common mistakes
- Uploading an unsafe executable
- Assuming discovery immediately changes live business records
