Overview
The Import function allows you to import a variety of formats:
...
- Click on the browse button to locate your Excel file and click on Upload. You should see that your file has been selected.
- Choose to assign the list of contacts from your Excel file into an existing Group in MailUp or create a new Group.
- Click on the "Next" button to continue.
- Now, you can map the columns of your Excel file to match the MailUp fields. You must match the fields in order for the data to be imported correctly. For example, the first column in my Excel file has email addresses, so I need to choose from the drop down tab Email.
- Continue mapping all your columns and once you are done click on Import, and in this case also select Ignore First Row.
- Be sure to follow the last step. Once you see your file in the Import queue, press Start Importing.
The system will import your Excel file and show you the status of the import.

For large Excel files, the import process may take a few minutes. During this time, you can perform any other task and even log-out. The import process will continue until completed! |

The option to Import as Pending and send confirmation request email allows you to import recipients as Pending. Once you send out the confirmation request email (see section below), those recipients who chose to subscribe to your email communications will become Subscribed. This option overwrites any previously recorded subscription status (Subscribed or Unsubscribed).
