How to bulk-convert organizations into opportunities
Easily create multiple opportunities at once from a dedicated organization list.
How to bulk-convert organizations into opportunities
- Click into the All Organizations directory or the relevant organization list.
- Click the checkboxes for all the organizations you'd like to create opportunities for, then click Convert to Opportunities. If you don't have any opportunity lists created, you can create an opportunity list first before continuing (see How to create a new list in Affinity).
- By default, each opportunity will be named based on the organization's name. However, you can customize each opportunity name to help differentiate them by project, subject, or anything else.
- Example: If you are creating 3 opportunities related to Project X for Affinity, Stripe, and Pitchbook Data, you can append "- Project X" after each organization's name:
- Affinity - Project X
- Stripe - Project X
- Pitchbook Data - Project X
- If the same 3 organizations are related to Project Y as well, you can repeat the process above and label them this time for Project Y:
- Affinity - Project Y
- Stripe - Project Y
- Pitchbook Data - Project Y
- Now, you'll have 6 opportunities (3 for Project X and 3 for Project Y) created with just a few clicks.
- Example: If you are creating 3 opportunities related to Project X for Affinity, Stripe, and Pitchbook Data, you can append "- Project X" after each organization's name:
- Click the checkbox for "Prefill People from each organization" so that each opportunity is filled with all the people associated with each organization. This will be much more efficient by enabling you to remove irrelevant people from these opportunities afterward, rather than having to add specific individuals one-by-one.
- Last but not least, select the opportunity list you'd like to create these opportunities in. If you do not have an opportunity list yet, you can create one before proceeding.
- The values that are inputted into these fields will be applied to all the opportunities that are about to be created.
- If there are too many required fields for that opportunity list, you can always adjust them afterward via the Default Fields tab found in your Settings.
- The values that are inputted into these fields will be applied to all the opportunities that are about to be created.
- Click the blue Create # Opportunities button and you're all set!
