# How to import Materials and Clients
> Learn how to import Materials and Clients in ServiceM8.
This article will show you how to import materials and clients into your account using a CSV spreadsheet. You may not need to do this task if you have connected your ServiceM8 account to Xero, QuickBooks Online, or MYOB, as your items & clients are automatically imported from your accounting software as part of the connection process.
# How to Import Materials/Items
Go to Account > Materials & Services
## In the top-right corner, click 'Bulk Import'
## Download and open the import spreadsheet template
Replace the column headings in your materials/items spreadsheet with the headings from the template
## Save the file, go back to ServiceM8, upload your file and click 'Next'
## Check that your file's data has been mapped to the correct Material Fields, then click 'Next'
ServiceM8 will validate the file. Once it's finished, click 'Next' to import
## The materials/items will be imported
## Once finished, you can search and add imported materials/items in a job card
# How to Import Clients
## Go to Clients, then click 'Bulk Import'
## Follow the same steps (above) as bulk importing Materials & Services.
