Requirements
You will need a csv-file which needs to have at least the name and either the email address or phone number of the contact (you can also have both).
The structure is as follows:
| name | phone_number | |
|---|---|---|
| Firstname | +4982187387218 | |
| Firstname Lastname | +342143252233 |
Keep in mind that the phone number has to contain the country code for phone numbers with a + sign and is not allowed to have any spaces in between. (international standard: E.164 format - in the E. 164 notation all spaces, dashes ['-'] and parentheses [ '(' and ')'] are removed, besides the leading '+' all characters should be numeric.)
Optional:
If you want to add custom attributes to your import, you'll have to create these first. Pleaser refer to the following article: Creating Custom Attributes
