Should imported address fields automatically resolve to a mapped location?

Not sure if its broken or working as designed. I imported a dataset for test with real addresses. However - the map doesn’t show up until I manually enter the field and pick up the very same suggestion. I tested with different syntax, made sure to add the exactly the form from an address i exported from tape before.

Is import not triggering an address match?

I can confirm this. I believe this by design to avoid hitting the ceiling on the Maps API during import.

Lets see what @Tim says. The thing is, I can’t trigger all imported records manually either. I know there is a 250 address updates limit per day.

Maybe we can read from and write to an address field in an automated way to trigger the address match? So we could maybe do this with up to 250 lookups per day for records marked “imported” or similar.

@dirk_s thanks for the ping;

Indeed, Tape currently does not enrich imported location fields immediately, to protect users from hitting their Google Maps API limits and thereby disrupting their daily work flow. We could allow an import settings switcher for that in the future, would that be helpful?

Hi Tim,
that sounds good. Although… if we initially load CRM data into the system, we will probably need several days to enrich. So we would need to split an import into little chunks and repeat it over several days.

Given the scenario the solution would probably be better having filter of records with “non enriched” location fields and some automation action that allows to trigger it. This would allow to import them all and enrich them later via an automation, that runs regularly.

But this sounds like more work :wink:
