CSV File Format Requirements for Zendesk Import
What format should my CSV files be in for importing into Zendesk?
Your CSV files must be in UTF-8 format for successful import into Zendesk. This ensures that all characters are correctly interpreted by the system.
When using Microsoft Excel, use the Get Data command to import CSV files to maintain the UTF-8 format. Opening CSV files directly in Excel may cause formatting issues, leading to import errors. Always double-check your file format before importing.
