Before You Start

Here is all the information you’ll need to import your subscribed contacts to emailidea.biz.

Secondly, a blank sheet in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets saved as a comma separated value (CSV) file.

How to Import Subscribers

A list import has a set of steps. You'll prepare your Excel sheet file of contacts, and save it as a CSV file.

Next, you'll use our contact management tool to add your contacts to emailidea.biz.

Prepare for Import

Here’s some step to prepare your file for import.

1. In Excel, open your blank worksheet.
2. Create a column for the email address.

 

3. Next to your email address column, label additional columns for e.g. First Name, and Last Name.

4. You can repeat this step for entering any other data of subscriber you want to include in email, like phone number, birthday, address, or country etc.

5. In next step, Paste your contact information into the relevant fields in the worksheet.

 

6. Save the file as CSV format. If you use another file type, we won't be able to process the file.

Now, you are ready to import the CSV file to your Emailidea list.
