Importing Q&A

You can import Q&A content into your store using our CSV template. This process works whether you're migrating Q&A from another app or manually creating your own set of questions and answers.

Before you import

To import Q&A into Judge.me, you’ll first need to prepare a CSV file containing your questions and answers in the correct format.

  • If you're importing Q&A from another app, you can copy-paste the data from your old app export into the corresponding columns.

  • If you're creating your own Q&A from scratch, you can manually enter your desired questions and answers into the relevant columns.

  • Importing Q&A via a CSV file does not trigger any notification emails to customers. The Q&A answer notification email is only sent when a question is answered manually through the Judge.me dashboard. You can safely import questions with pre-filled answers without any emails being sent to your customers.

To prepare your CSV to import Q&A:

  1. Open our Q&A Google Sheet template and click Make a copy to start editing. This template includes all required columns and example values to guide you.

  2. Fill in your Q&A content with this format:

Then upload the file you just downloaded to Judge.me:

  1. From your Judge.me admin, go to the Reviews section.

  2. Navigate to the Customer questions tab.

  3. In the top-right corner, click Import.
    ​

  4. Click Add files, then upload your file in .csv, .xls, or .xlsx format.

  5. Once uploaded, click Import to complete the process.
    ​

After you import

The import will take around 5 minutes. Once it's finished, we will email you the results, including:

  • How many questions and answers were successfully imported

  • How many questions and answers failed to import, plus a CSV file of these failed reviews, and why they failed

You can find all your questions and answers in the Reviews section > Customer questions tab.
