Importing data by Copy and Paste

Sometimes when you add data to an account, you just want to quickly add a list of mobile numbers. Adding just numbers by Excel or entering manually can get tedious so we created a facility to copy and paste them in.

You can get to this by going to Contacts > Copy & Paste (on the right hand side).



Copy the numbers (or type in directly) from wherever you have them stored, one number per line. Numbers should be in international format, ie 1xxx... for US and 447xxx... for the UK. Don’t worry too much about invalid numbers as we’ll cover these later.



When you are done click Import. Any numbers unsubscribed will remain unsubscribed, bad data will get omitted & duplicates are ignored. When the data has finished getting updated you will see a confirmation screen:




This will show any bad data for you to edit, along with the number of people successfully imported. This is a fairly simple, straightforward option and should not too difficult to master!
