Importing Contacts

You can bulk-import contacts from a CSV file instead of adding them one by one.

Your CSV file should have these columns:

ColumnRequiredExample
nameYesJane Smith
emailYesjane@example.com
phoneNo+353 1 234 5678
companyNoAcme Ltd
notesNoMet at conference

The first row must be the header row with these exact column names.

  1. Go to Contacts
  2. Click the Import button (next to New Contact)
  3. Select your CSV file (max 5 MB)
  4. Choose the import mode:
    • Skip duplicates — contacts with an email that already exists are skipped
    • Update existing — contacts with a matching email are updated with the new data
  5. Click Import

You’ll see a summary showing:

  • How many contacts were created
  • How many were updated (if using update mode)
  • How many were skipped (duplicates or errors)
  • Any errors (e.g., missing email, invalid format)
  • Export your contacts first (as a backup) before doing a large import
  • If you’re coming from another CRM, export as CSV from there and match the column names
  • Email is used as the unique identifier for duplicate detection
