Import your contacts and their permission for offers
The Contacts screen brings together all your contacts, whether they come from a conversation or a file. Their permission for offers decides who can receive a campaign.
Steps
- Open Contacts and click Import, then choose your CSV file (one row per contact, with a header row).
- Check the column for each header: phone, full name, first name, last name, email, company, city, tags. Give the country for numbers written without a country code. If needed, tick Complete contacts you already have (name, email, company, city) and choose a Label to add to everyone.
- In the Permission for offers step, say whether these contacts agreed to receive your marketing messages. If they did, say how, describe how you got their permission and tick the attestation.
- Click Import. The summary shows the contacts created, the contacts updated and the rows skipped, with the reason.
- Filter the list (tag, stage, channel, country, Permission for offers), then click Save as segment to reuse this audience.
