Import Contact List

Importing a contact list allows you to upload contact information from a CSV / Excel file directly into BrightArrow. This is a great way to upload mass contact information instead of just doing it one-by-one. This is great to use when you have a special list of recipients that you want to create a separate list for to send messages to.  Note: This method should only be used for basic/static lists. Contacts imported using this method will not update with your nightly sync. To upload a spreadsheet that syncs to your lists, see Syncing with Google Spreadsheets

Note: It is important that the format of the data in the file is consistent from row to row.  All phone numbers and names should be formatted the same, and in the same column, etc…  Show me a file example

6. Click Accept and Proceed
