Importing Contacts in Bulk

If you already have a list of contacts somewhere, you can import them all at once instead of adding them one by one. Click "Upload File" and select your file.

Supported File Types

  • .csv — spreadsheet format (most reliable)
  • .vcf — vCard format
  • .contact — contact file (should contain vCard-style data)

CSV Format

Your CSV file needs a header row. Here are the columns:

ColumnRequiredNotes
NameYesContact display name.
PhoneYesPhone number. Use E.164 format (e.g., +15551234567) for best results.
EmailNoEmail address.

The system recognizes common header name variations:

  • Name: name, full name, contact name
  • Phone: phone, phone number, phonenumber, mobile, telephone
  • Email: email, email address, e-mail
  • Company: company, organization, org
