Csv import
Hi,I have noticed that basic and crucial option in the system is missing. Why there is no option to import events and locations in bulk via csv ? That is crucial for any app that need to grow

this not working chagpt response: I can't actually start the batch because the GoodBarber connector available in this chat exposes the event creation function, but it does not expose a bulk import function or a way for me to iterate over the uploaded CSV automatically. Each cms_create_event call requires me to supply the individual event fields, and I don't have access to the CSV contents in the tool itself.

Hi, you're one instruction away from it working. The MCP server doesn't go through a bulk import function. It works item by item: the assistant calls cms_create_event once per row, until the file is done. What ends up in your CMS is identical to a CSV import. Two things make it run: 1. Put the data in the conversation. That's what blocked you here: the assistant can act on your app, but it needs the rows in front of it. If it says it can't read the attached file, open the CSV and paste the rows into the chat as plain text. 2. Ask for the loop explicitly. For example: "Here are 40 events, one per line. Column 1 = title, column 2 = start date, column 3 = end date, column 4 = description. For each line, call cms_create_event in my Agenda section. Create them one at a time, in order, and keep going until line 40. Then tell me how many you created." Run 10 rows first to check the mapping, then paste the rest. On a long file, if the assistant stops before the end, tell it to resume from the last row it created, or feed it in batches of 20. Same method for locations, with cms_create_map: title, address, latitude, longitude. If ChatGPT keeps declining to run the batch, Claude follows this kind of instruction reliably: https://www.goodbarber.com/connect-claude-app/

the problem is that claude is very expensive with low limits , it should be option to add via csv upload , thats a standard

Hi, the "disabled" response on cms_create_event is something we need to look at on your app, not something you can fix from the chat. Open a support ticket from your back office, with your app name and the section you are importing into. We will check what is blocking the connector on your side and help you get your events in. Your request for a native CSV import stays open here and keeps collecting votes.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. You can do bulk imports today with the GoodBarber MCP server. It connects your app to an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client), and the assistant creates Events and Map locations directly in your CMS. You hand it your CSV, you say "create one event per row in my Agenda section", and it runs the whole batch. No code, no API key. How to connect it: Add GoodBarber as a connector in your assistant, and point it at https://mcp.goodbarber.dev/mcp/sse Sign in with your GoodBarber account. Every action stays scoped to your own app. Attach your CSV and describe how your columns map to the fields. Step-by-step guide for Claude: https://www.goodbarber.com/connect-claude-app/ Overview and FAQ: https://www.goodbarber.com/mcp/ Two things that will save you time: For events, each row needs a title, a start date and an end date, written with the timezone (for example 2026-06-01T18:00:00+02:00). For locations, each row needs a title, an address, plus latitude and longitude. If your file only has addresses, add the coordinates before importing. Start with 10 rows to check the mapping, then let the assistant run through the rest of the file.
