Importing Custom CSV Event Data into Alytica

Alytica supports importing event data from your own tools, tracking scripts, or exports — as long as it's in a standard CSV format. This guide explains how to structure your CSV file and what fields are automatically detected and enriched during import.

Step 1: Prepare Your CSV File

Your CSV should include one row per event. At a minimum, we recommend including:

• event_name – the name of the event
• time – a timestamp for when the event occurred

All other fields are optional. Alytica will automatically parse, enrich, and map the data on import.

✅ No manual column mapping required — Alytica handles everything automatically.

Step 2: Import Your File

1. Go to your Alytica dashboard.

2. Navigate to:
   Project Settings → Analytics → Import Data

3. Click Upload CSV and select your custom file.

4. Alytica will automatically process your file and show your imported data in the Analytics dashboard.

How Your Data Is Transformed

Here’s how Alytica processes each known field. Everything else is stored as a custom property.

Additional Fields

Any other columns in your CSV will be added to the event as custom properties and will be available in the analytics dashboard for filtering, segmentation, and querying.
