Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a contact already exists?
Contacts are matched by email or phone number. If a match is found, the existing contact is updated with the new data. No duplicates are created.
Is there a limit on how many contacts I can import?
There is no hard limit. Large imports are automatically split into batches and processed with a progress bar so you can track the status.
What file formats are supported?
Only CSV (.csv) files are supported.
What if some rows fail?
The results screen will show how many contacts failed and the error details. Successfully imported
contacts are not affected by failures in other rows.
Can I undo an import?
There is no bulk undo. You would need to manually delete any contacts you don't want.
