​
Overview

Import your contact lists and organize them for targeted messaging. Use carrier lookup to validate numbers and filter out landlines.

​
Tasks to complete

1

Prepare Your Contact List (CSV)

Format as CSV with columns: phone (required, 10-digit format), firstName, lastName, city, state, zip, and any custom fields you need.
2

Upload Contacts

Navigate to Contacts → Import and upload your CSV file. Maximum 1 million rows per upload. System automatically validates phone number format.
3

Run Carrier Lookup (Recommended)

Enable carrier lookup during import to identify landlines, validate numbers, and detect carrier information. Prevents wasted sends to landlines.
4

Create Contact Segments

Organize contacts into groups based on location, voter data, or custom fields for targeted campaigns.
5

Manage Opt-Outs

Review and maintain opt-out lists. System automatically manages STOP keywords, but you can manually add numbers if needed.

​
Pro tips

  • Always run carrier lookup to filter landlines before sending - it saves money.
  • Keep opt-out lists clean - never message opted-out contacts.
  • Use custom fields to store voter data, polling responses, or donation history.
  • Segment contacts before creating projects for better targeting.
