Import contracts in bulk

How can you import your existing contracts and their data into Tomorro?

Updated today

At Tomorro, we know that switching to a new contract management tool can raise several questions:

  • What should I do with my existing contracts?

  • Will I lose information?

  • Do I have to re-enter everything manually?

Good news: you don't have to start from scratch.

Tomorro allows you to import your contract history (PDF and associated data) in a structured way, to centralize and easily leverage your information.


Before you start

Before importing, make sure your workspace is ready:

This ensures your data is correctly associated during import.


Choose your import type

  • Go to the Repository or a filtered view

  • Click on in the top right

  • Click on Import contracts


You then have a choice between two options:

You can also import signed contracts by email:


Import signed contracts with their data


You import:

  • PDF files

  • associated information (dates, status, renewal, notice period, etc.)

Use case: complete migration from a previous tool

Steps

  • Select Bulk import of signed documents via CSV

  • Add the PDF files of your contracts

  • Download the automatically generated contract type Excel file (Step 1)

Complete the Excel file

  • 1 row = 1 contract

  • do not modify the structure

⚠️ Important:

  • column A contains the names of imported PDF files

  • do not modify these names

  • do not move or rename the files

Tips for filling in the file

  • leave cells empty if the information is unknown (do not put "0")

  • check the formats:

    • text for names

    • date for dates

    • number for numerical values

PDF association

  • column A contains the names of imported PDF files

  • do not modify these names

  • do not delete the column

otherwise, PDFs will not be correctly linked to the data

⚠️ Do not move or rename files on your computer/drive after importing them.

Information to fill in

  • Contract name

The contract name automatically generated in the template will not be used.

The contract will only take the name entered in column C of the Excel file.

  • Folder (column B)

Two options:

  • empty → automatic organization according to the dynamic storage rules defined in the contract type

  • custom path, for example: (ex: Folder/Subfolder)

  • Counterparty (counterparty name)

  • Status (DRAFT, NEGOTIATING, SIGNING, SIGNED)

    • from the dropdown list

  • Contract type (previously defined contract type)

    • from the dropdown list

  • Dates (start, end, signature)

    • in DD/MM/YYYY format

  • Notice period (value and unit: days/months)

    • if there is no notice period, leave the cell empty.

  • Renewal (TACIT or NO) and renewal duration

    • from the dropdown list

  • Smart fields

    • Respect the field type (date, selector, number, etc.)


Finalize the import

  • Download the file in .xls format

  • Click on Import the completed file (Step 2)

  • Verify the data

  • Click on Confirm and import

Contracts and their information are automatically created and organized in the Repository.


Import contract data only


You import:

  • contract data only

Use case: you don't have the PDFs yet or want to add them later

Steps

  • Select Create new contracts

  • Download the contract type automatically generated (Step 1)

All contracts are created and organized in Tomorro.

Signed PDFs can be added later


Transfer documents by email

You can also import signed contracts by sending a PDF by email, without using an Excel file.

Find your import address

Your import address is available in the Store a signed document modal, accessible from:

  • the RepositoryStore a signed document button in the top right

  • the + New contract menu → Store a signed document

At the bottom of the modal, the Transfer documents by email section displays your import email address. Click Copy to retrieve it.

The import address is unique to your workspace. It follows the format your-workspace@import.tomorro.com.

How it works

  • Forward or send an email with at least one PDF attachment to your import address

  • The main PDF becomes the signed contract document. Other attachments are added to the contract.

  • Created contracts appear in the Incomplete signed contracts view

  • Then complete the contract information (name, contract type, dates, etc.)

Required conditions

  • The email must contain at least one PDF file as an attachment

  • The sender must be an authorized member of the workspace

Use case: quickly forward a contract received by email without downloading it first

For the complete workflow details (completing information, storing, tracking your signed contracts), see the article Store a signed document.

Do not confuse with a contract's email address

  • The import address (@import.tomorro.com) is used to import new contracts into your Tomorro workspace.

  • A contract's email address (@reply.tomorro.com) is used to track communications with the counterparty from the contract's Communications tab.
