How Do I Import Subscribers?

This is the sequence the values should be in for importing:

  • Email Address

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Company

  • Address Line 1

  • Address Line 2

  • City

  • State

  • Zip/Postal Code

  • Country

  • Phone1

  • Phone2

  • Fax

  • Gender

  • Occupation

  • Website

  • Birthdate

Prepare the file you will be importing:

  1. When you create the file, you can:

  2. Create the file without a header. If you create a file without a header, you must make sure there is a column/comma (even if it is empty of data) for each value (listed at left) and the values are in the same sequence as the list at left.

DATA EXAMPLE (if only the email, last name and first name values will be included):
janedoe@email.com,Jane,Doe,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

NOTE: If you create a file without a header and the values are not in the correct sequence, the values will be imported into the wrong fields.

OR

  • Create the file with a header. The Header text must be spelled exactly as it appears at left. If you create a file with a header, you don't have to include columns that you don't have data for. The values/columns you do include should be in the same sequence as the list at left.

HEADER EXAMPLE (if all values will be included):
Email Address,First Name,Last Name,Company,Address Line 1,Address Line 2,City,State,Zip/Postal Code,Country,Phone1,Phone2,Fax,Gender,Occupation,Website,Birthdate
