Importing questions and answers
Updated this week

To re-use your existing Q&A content after setting up the Q&A widgets, follow these steps using our CSV template:

Step 1: Create the CSV file

Step 2: Add questions and answers

Here's what each column in the file means:

question_id

optional

the unique ID of each question

  • If provided, answers can be grouped together under one question

  • If you group several rows under one question_id, we'll take the question_content from the first row in that group.

question_content

required

the content of the question

moderated

optional

  • Write "ok" to publish the question.

  • Write "spam" to hide the question.

  • If left blank, the question will be published automatically upon import.

optional

source of the question

asker_email

optional

email of the person who asked the question

asker_name

either is required

You just need to fill in either the product_id or product_handle.

optional

the date the question is created (dd/mm/yyyy). If not provided, the current date will be used.

Step 3: Upload the file to Judge.me

Once you've filled in the questions and answers, go to File > Download > Comma Separated Value (.csv) to download the file.

Then to upload the file go to Judge.me Reviews > Manage Reviews > Import & Export > Questions and answers > Import.

  • Click Add files and attach your CSV file, then click Import.


For other platforms

  • From your Judge.me admin, click Manage Reviews > Reviews Dashboard > Import & Export > Import/Export Q&A > Import Q&A.

  • Select Direct as the Q&A Source.

  • Choose your CSV file, then click Import Q&A.


Step 4: Check the results

We will process the file in the background and email you the number of questions and answers imported, any failures, and the reasons behind the failures.

You can review the imported questions and answers by going to Manage Reviews > Questions & Answers.
