# Migrating your Data to Juicebox (Starter & Growth)

> Self-serve migration of contact data from your existing CRM into Juicebox.

Juicebox supports data migration from most major recruitment CRMs. As a Starter or Growth plan customer, you have access to self-serve data migration.

*If you're on a Business plan, see [Migrating your Data to Juicebox (Business Plan)](/help/data-migration/migrate-business) for fully assisted migration.*

The self-serve migration process allows you to import large-scale contact data to avoid reaching out to profiles you already recently contacted.

## Process

1. **Export contact data.**
   * Export your contacts directly from your current CRM as a CSV file, usually labeled "Export all Contacts" or similar.
   * **Important:** Ensure your export includes each profile's LinkedIn or GitHub URL. Juicebox uses this URL to identify and match profiles.
   * If exporting directly isn't possible, contact your CRM provider for assistance.

2. **Reformat your data.**
   * Juicebox accepts CSV format only.
   * Your CSV must have one column containing LinkedIn URLs (plus an optional header row).
   * Limit uploads to 500 profiles per CSV. You may perform multiple imports if necessary.
   * If you plan to import more than 10,000 profiles, email [support@juicebox.ai](mailto:support@juicebox.ai).

3. **Create a new Juicebox project.**
   * Create a new project on Juicebox, for example "Past Contacts". This project will store all contacts you've had previous interactions with.

4. **Import to Juicebox.**
   * Open the **Shortlist** tab in your project. Then, select the **Import** option to upload a CSV of your contacts. More details on [bulk imports](/shortlist-profiles).
   * Note that some contacts may not be resolved in Juicebox. You may need to exclude them from your export.

5. **Testing.**
   * After importing your profiles, test adding them to a sequence from a different project. You should see a [warning](/add-profiles) saying "This profile is shortlisted in another project".
   * Additionally, you'll be able to see their shortlist status in the **Activities** field of the profile.
