Contact Lists are used to send surveys to respondents. If you need to add many contacts at once, you can import contacts using a CSV file in the Contacts section.
Your CSV file should include mandatory contact details such as Name and Email, along with any additional contact properties you want to import.
Follow these steps to import contacts into your account.
Navigate to Contacts from the main navigation menu.
Here you will see the Active Contacts list with details such as:
Name
Phone Number
Click Add Contacts.
Select Import Contacts from the dropdown menu.
In the import window:
Click Import under Import from a file.
Upload your CSV file containing contact details.
The upload section allows you to:
Drag and drop your CSV file
Select a file from your computer
Download a sample file for reference
After selecting the file, proceed to the next step.
Once the file is uploaded, the system will display the Map Contact From File page.
Here you need to map the column headers from your CSV file to the platform’s contact properties.
The system may automatically map fields if the column names match.
Example mappings may include:
| Column Header from File | Contact Property |
|---|---|
| Name | Name |
| Phone Number | Phone Number |
| Region | Region |
| Connection Type | Connection Type |
A preview of the uploaded data will also be shown to help verify that the fields are mapped correctly.
If any column is not mapped, you can:
Select an existing contact property
Or create a new property to store that information
Once all fields are correctly mapped, proceed to the next step.
In the final step, you need to configure how the import will be saved.
You can:
Name the import for easy reference.
Create a new contact list with the same name as the import.
Add contacts to an existing contact list.
After completing these options:
Review the import settings.
Click Finish.
Once the import is finished:
The contacts will be added to your Active Contacts list.
The import will also appear in Manage Imports, where you can review all previous imports.
You can now use these contacts to send surveys, manage lists, and segment respondents effectively.
