Use the Built-In CSV Migration Flow in Integrations

Sabdov handles migration through the same Integrations area used for day-to-day sync management. Download the right sample file, upload your CSV, review the preview draft, then use Integration Logs to confirm what happened after import.

Migration Checklist

1

Export or clean your source CSV

Remove incomplete rows and normalize product references before you bring the file into Sabdov.

2

Download the latest sample

Use "Download sample" from the import card and choose the Generic, Shopify, or WooCommerce template that best matches your source.

3

Upload reviews and build the preview

Use "Upload reviews" to create the preview draft and open the import preview.

4

Resolve validation issues

Fix rows with missing product references, invalid author emails, bad ratings, or invalid created_at timestamps.

5

Confirm matched products

Use the preview step to verify external ID matches first, then check any rows that fell back to product title matching.

6

Review Integration Logs

After import, open "Integration Logs" and review both "Integration History" and "Import CSV History".

Critical Validation Warning

The importer requires the `author_name`, `rating`, and `body` headers, and each upload is limited to 500 rows. Product mismatch is the most common import blocker, so make sure each row has either `product_external_id` or `product_title` that matches your synced catalog.

Before you publish imported reviews

Choose the right migration template, validate your source data, and move your historical reviews into Sabdov with fewer manual fixes.
