How to update Assigned Agent for Existing Contacts during Import?

Importing your existing contacts will allow you to update data for your existing contacts and more.

Step 1:

Go to the Contacts tab and click Import on the top right.

Step 2:

Download your contact database into a CSV file. For reference on formatting, please see our Sample CSV. Please keep in mind:

  • An email address is required for contacts to be uploaded to Connect.
  • Clean up the file to eliminate contacts without an email address, or any fake names that may be inappropriate.
  • If you want contacts to be imported as assigned to their specific agents, add "agent email address" as a column in the CSV file. Once the upload is complete, contacts will automatically be assigned to the agent whose email they were associated with on the CSV.
  • If you do not want contacts assigned to specific agents, they will be uploaded as unassigned. No "agent email address" column is needed.

Step 3:

Drag and drop your CSV file, or choose Click to Browse to upload your file from your computer. 

Step 4:

Map the fields in your uploaded file (left CSV column) to the Target Field Name
