Importing Contacts from a File

If you have a list of contacts in a spreadsheet, you can upload them all at once instead of adding them one by one. DM Champ uses CSV files (a common spreadsheet format that works with Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers).

How to Import Contacts

1. Click Contacts in the left sidebar, then click the Import button at the top.

2. Click Download Template to get a pre-formatted CSV file. This ensures your data is in the right format.

3. Open the template in your spreadsheet app (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.) and fill in your contacts' information:

   • First name

   • Last name

   • Email - if you do not have an email for a contact, enter [email protected]

   • Phone number - start with the country code but without the "+" sign (for example, 14155551234 for a US number, 31612345678 for a Netherlands number)

4. Save your file as a CSV.

5. Back in DM Champ, click Upload and select your completed CSV file.

6. Choose whether to create a new list (and give it a name) or add contacts to an existing list.

7. Click Start Import.

DM Champ processes your file and adds all the contacts. You will see them appear in your selected list.

Tips

• Double-check that phone numbers include the country code. Without it, messages will not deliver.

• You can import as many contacts as you need - there is no limit per upload.

• If a contact with the same phone number already exists, DM Champ updates their information instead of creating a duplicate.
