      How to Import Vineyard Events via CSV file

      The Vineyard Event Import action allows you to create new vineyard events via a CSV file. You can create your own CSV file for importing or use the template provided here to get you started (recommended). 

      This article covers:

      Using the Vineyard Event Import Action

      1. You can select the "Vineyard Event Import" action from the button in the Vineyard Dashboard, Vineyard Details, and Block Details pages (anywhere you can create a vineyard action).
      2. Click "Upload CSV" and choose your file to upload. Make sure the CSV file matches the required format exactly (We recommend using the example csv template within the action).
      3. Click
