I’m trying to upload a fundraising contact file, but Decile isn’t accepting the CSV format. Is there an IT support contact or technical team that can help resolve this issue.

Hey there! Happy to help with this.
For CSV upload issues, here are a few things worth trying first:
- Use the sample CSV available on the Import/Export page to make sure your column headers match Hub's expected format
- Open your file in Google Sheets and re-download it as a CSV, which often resolves hidden formatting or encoding issues
- Check for special characters in your data, especially if you see any UTF-8 encoding errors
- Try a smaller batch (500-1000 rows) if the file is large, to rule out timeout issues
If those don't work, you can email your CSV file to woody@decilegroup.com or developers@decilegroup.com and the team can take a direct look at what might be causing the issue.
Let us know what error message you're seeing and we can help narrow it down further!
