Contact UsImport a routine task list from a CSV file
Upload a spreadsheet of task names to build a routine list in one go, then set each task's frequency on the review screen before you save.
If the opening checklist already lives in a spreadsheet, you don't have to retype it. Upload the file and WashUp builds the list, then hands you a review screen where every field is still editable.
What you'll need
- Available on the Bundle plan, or on a Custom plan that includes Tasks.
- Super Admins and Admins import task lists. Team Members can read the Task Library but not change it.
- A .csv file of 5 MB or less, with no more than 500 rows.
Import the file
To import a routine task list:
- Select Tasks in the side menu, then Task Library.
- Select Create New List, then Routine List.
- Select Import a list.
- Select Download Template and fill in one task name per row under
description. - Drag the file onto the upload area, or select Upload it from your computer.
- Select Continue to Review.
- Set each task's Frequency, name the list, then select Create Task List.
What goes in the file
The template WashUp gives you has a single column, description, and two example rows. That's the only column you have to fill in—frequency, timing, and requirements can all wait for the review screen.
If you'd rather set them in the spreadsheet, the importer also reads these columns:
| Column | What it sets | Accepted values |
|---|---|---|
frequency | How often the task repeats | daily, weekly, monthly |
weekly_days | Which days a weekly task lands on | Full day names, comma separated |
requires_photo | Whether a photo is needed to complete it | true, false, yes, no, 1, 0 |
admin_only | Hides the task from Team Members | true, false, yes, no, 1, 0 |
completion_window_start | When the task's time frame opens | HH:MM on a 24-hour clock |
The matching completion_window_end, requires_notes, repeat_interval, monthly columns, and the repeat-throughout-the-day columns work the same way.
- A row whose task name starts with
#is treated as a comment and skipped, which is handy for section headers in your spreadsheet. - A column WashUp doesn't recognise is a warning, not an error. It's listed in Import warnings: at the top of the review screen and then ignored.
- A row can't set both a time frame and repeat-throughout-the-day. The import stops and names the row.
Common questions
Can I undo this?
No. Every import creates a new list, so delete the one you didn't want rather than trying to reverse it.
Who can do this?
Only Admins and Super Admins. The import controls aren't shown to Team Members.
Can I change the tasks after importing?
Yes. An imported list is an ordinary task list, so edit it like any other.
