If you’re using Project.co to manage your projects and tasks, importing tasks via a CSV file can save time and help streamline your workflow.
You can first ask ChatGPT to create an outline or task list and then use this prompt to populate the CSV file for a smooth import process.
Here’s a detailed prompt to ensure your CSV file is formatted correctly for importing tasks into Project.co without errors:
Prompt:
Please create a CSV file for importing tasks into Project.co with the following correct formatting:
1. Required Columns:
• name: Task name.
• status_name: Task status. Options include: “Idea,” “Planning,” “In Progress,” “Review,” “Ready,” “Scheduled,” “Completed.”
• date_type: Type of date (e.g., “Due Date”).
• date: The date for the task, if applicable.
• start_date: When the task starts (optional).
• end_date: When the task ends (optional).
• visibility: Who can see the task. Options: “Public” or “Private.”
• project_name: The name of the project for which the tasks are created.
• allocations: Names of people assigned to the task (optional).
• followers: Additional people tracking the task (optional).
• groups: Task groups (optional).
• notes: Additional task details (optional).
• parent_task_name: If the task is a subtask, specify the parent task (optional).
2. Notes:
• Ensure that no required columns are missing, and that all fields are properly populated with either the necessary information or left blank where appropriate.
• Make sure to avoid column mismatches or missing column headers, as this will cause import errors in Project.co.
This prompt will guide ChatGPT to create the file with the correct structure, avoiding the same errors we encountered when we first tried to do this.
Hope this helps!
