Import contacts via CSV file

Only Owners and Admins can add contacts to Inbox via a CSV file.

Prepare your file

When preparing your file for upload, please be aware of the following:

• You can import a maximum of 100,000 contacts

• The file must be a .CSV file with commas as separators

• Headers must be named: phone, email, firstName, lastName, displayName. You can include custom attributes that you want to include in the contact. To do this, create a header with the name of the attribute you’d like to add. Eg: custom:account_id.

If you are unsure how to format your file, we have an example file available for download at the bottom of the Import Contacts pop-up, which you can also access on this page.
