# Contact import field mapping

> Reference outline for the key fields that matter when importing or syncing contacts into TruAgents.

## Summary

Use this page as the quick reference for which contact fields matter most during import or sync setup.

## Why this page matters

The current app explicitly tracks fields such as:

* email column
* phone column
* contact name column
* timezone column

That means field mapping is not a minor detail. It is one of the main reasons an import can technically succeed but still be operationally wrong.

## High-priority fields

| Field        | Why it matters                                               |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Email        | Required for email-based communications and identity quality |
| Phone        | Required for SMS or call workflows                           |
| Contact name | Supports personalization and contact readability             |
| Timezone     | Helps communications happen at the right local time          |

## What this page should include later

* provider-specific mapping examples
* CSV header examples
* fallback expectations when a field is missing
* common bad-mapping patterns and how they appear in the product
