Import Contacts

Import thousands of contacts at once using a CSV file.

Step 1: Prepare Your CSV

Your CSV must have at minimum a phone column. Recommended columns:

name,phone,email,city,tag
John Doe,+919876543210,john@example.com,Mumbai,vip
Jane Smith,+918765432109,jane@example.com,Delhi,

Column Rules

Phone format: Include the + and country code. Numbers without country code may fail to match existing contacts.

Step 2: Open Import Dialog

1. Go to Contacts
2. Click Import Contacts
3. Click Choose File and select your CSV

Step 3: Review and Import

The import is automatic:

• New contacts are created
• Existing contacts (matched by phone) are updated
• Invalid rows (bad phone format, missing required field) are skipped
• Previously deleted contacts are restored if they match by phone

Step 4: View Results

After the import completes, a summary appears:

Tips

• Always include country codes in phone numbers
• Use UTF-8 encoding for your CSV (especially for non-English names)
• Maximum recommended import size: 50,000 rows per file
• Headers are case-insensitive (Phone, phone, PHONE all work)
