Import contacts
Bring in contacts from a CSV file or by pasting, and what we accept.
- 1Add your contacts
Upload a
.csvfile or paste rows. Commas, semicolons and tabs are detected automatically. - 2Check and confirm
Match your columns: Email (required), First name, Last name, Full name (split for you) and Phone. Company, job title and address columns are matched automatically. Tick other columns under Other columns to keep them as custom fields.
- 3Confirm consent
Tick the box confirming everyone on the list agreed to hear from you. Imports can't go ahead without it.
- 4Done
See how many contacts were new, updated, merged as duplicates or rejected, and download the rejected rows.
Tip
Include a birthday column to power birthday automations.
Which addresses are accepted#
To protect your sending reputation, addresses are checked strictly. An address is rejected when:
- The part before
@has characters other than lowercase letters, numbers and dots (for example a hyphen or underscore), or is mostly numbers. - It's a role address such as
info@,admin@,support@,sales@,hello@orteam@. - It's from a disposable-email service, or its domain can't receive mail.
- Its domain isn't a major email provider (such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or iCloud) or an institution (
.edu,.ac.uk,.gov).
Good to know
Addresses at most company domains (e.g.
jane@acme.com) are currently rejected. Download the rejected rows to see why each one was refused.Limits#
