Contacts Management

Organize and manage your contact database efficiently with powerful tools for importing, organizing, and segmenting your audience.

The Contacts Management system allows you to import, organize, and manage your email contacts. You can create lists, apply tags, search contacts, and view detailed contact information.

Importing Contacts

Import contacts in bulk using CSV files:

  1. Navigate to ContactsImport
  2. Upload a CSV file with your contact data
  3. Map CSV columns to contact fields (email, firstName, lastName, etc.)
  4. Select which list to add contacts to (or create a new list)
  5. Review the import preview
  6. Click "Import Contacts" to complete

CSV Format

Your CSV should include columns like: email, firstName, lastName, company, city, country. The email column is required; other fields are optional.
