Importing Contacts with a CSV File
You can upload multiple contacts at once using a CSV file. This saves time and keeps your records consistent.
Before You Start
- Make sure your file includes column headers (for example: Name, Fax Number, Email).
- Check that fields such as Name and Fax Number are filled in. Rows with missing information will not be imported.
- For Organizations, have a column for the Group Contact Name. All rows with the same name in this column will be merged into a single group, sharing a single fax number. Leave blank for contacts with a unique fax number.
Upload and Import
- Go to Contacts.
-
Select Add > Upload CSV.
-
Upload your CSV file.
-
Match each column from your file to a system label (for example: Name → Name, Fax → Fax Number).
Note: If the address lacks the necessary columns to match in the CSV import, it’s better not to include it.
- Confirm.
After Import
- All valid contacts will appear in your Contacts list.
- Any rows with missing required fields will be skipped.
- If the import is successful, you’ll receive an email confirmation.
- If the import is partially successful, you’ll receive an email with an attached file showing which information could not be processed. You can correct those errors and re-upload the file.
-
Edit or update contact details at any time. From the Contacts list, hover over a contact and select Manage details.
