ETL-driven data transformation for clean CRM contact imports: A case study
Greg Crawley
January 1, 2025
Even the best marketing stack produces messy exports. Email reports show opens and clicks yet miss phone numbers, prospecting lists mix personal and “info@” addresses, and old CRM dumps come with strange character sets and blank cells. A modern CRM will let you import these files—right up until one header is missing or a single row breaks the rules. From that moment the progress bar stops and you are left fixing spreadsheets instead of planning campaigns.
Roboshift is an AI-assisted ETL service from Blocshop. In practice, that means marketing teams can:
For a marketing team, this removes long hours of manual edits each month and guards the CRM against faulty uploads.
You have three live sources:
Your goal: combine everything, clean questionable rows, enrich existing contacts with engagement metrics, and add language-friendly salutations for Czech and German audiences—then land the result in the CRM without errors.

Type sentences such as:
Roboshift turns those sentences into behind-the-scenes code, runs it, and shows a preview where failed rows are parked in a separate ‘Rejected’ list.

Rename Opens to openrateemailplatform and Clicks to clickrateemailplatform. Roboshift matches the metrics to the right contact by email. If an address exists in the CRM the numbers update, if not you can hold it for opt-in review.
Tell Roboshift:
Contacts lacking Country or Gender keep the field blank—better no greeting than the wrong one.

Choose contacts API or download a UTF-8 CSV. Roboshift sends updates in batches that stay under rate limits and reports how many rows were updated, skipped, or rejected.
Clean contact files now load on the first attempt, eliminating stalled imports. Engagement data captured in the email platform flows straight into lead-scoring properties without manual copy-and-paste, and country-specific salutations consistently raise open rates in formal markets such as Czechia and Germany. Because everything runs on a timer, the entire process rolls forward automatically, letting the marketing team focus on planning instead of spreadsheet repair.
You can simply describe quality rules in everyday language and let Roboshift convert them into executable checks. By validating every row before it reaches the CRM, you prevent bad data from creeping into reports and workflows. The same repeatable flow can blend campaign metrics with prospect lists, and—when privacy regulations require it—run entirely on-premises without changing a single step.
To evaluate Roboshift for your organisation’s contact-data workflows, schedule a brief product demonstration that walks through the validation steps and CRM-ready export. The session provides a clear view of the platform in action, helping your team decide whether Roboshift aligns with current data-quality objectives.
