    Import Contacts in Batches

    To upload many contacts at a time, you can either use the Contact Importer API or we can import your contacts for you. When requesting this service, download the Contacts Template file, complete it with your information, and send it to us using the Support Portal option.
    • Note that if your profile currently contains Contacts and you request our assistance with importing, we can import new contacts and update existing contacts (contact's first and last name must match the existing entry). Our import service is unable to delete contacts.

    Please keep the following requirements in mind when completing the attached form:
    • Convert the .xls file to .csv format (comma-separated value)
