Import contacts to an existing account that maps account to contact fields that are already mapped

Posted on by 60

I have created some field mapping from Account to Contact records so that when I add a contact the address from the Account is mapped to the contact record.  I need to import many contacts to existing accounts and need to have the addresses map from what is on the account record when I import.  How can this be achieved?

    Am I reading this correctly?

    On import of Contact - update the Contact Address with the Address from the Account (account listed on the contact).

    If that's the case, sounds like Address is a lookup on the Contact).  You could do a workflow - on create or update of an contact (update field wouldl be Account) then update the Address with the Parent Account's address.
