My Lists

On the My Lists tab under CONTACTS, you can create contact lists by uploading multiple lead records from a CSV or Excel file. Later you will be able to append the list with new contacts.

To import multiple contacts:

  1. Click ADD LIST in the top right.
  2.  Enter the list name and an informative description:

  3. Browse or drag and drop the file.
  4. Click UPLOAD & PREVIEW
  5. Map column titles as necessary. One column must contain phone numbers.
    Select Ignore first line if you don't want to add column titles as a separate line.
    NOTE

    You also need to set the contact fields that should be used in mapping and will later be applied in message campaigns to make your messages unique. You can find details in this article.
