LISTS AND IMPORTS

Send us your list. We map it and do the rest.

Send us any spreadsheet and we match every column to a field, reusing the ones you already have instead of making new copies. An interrupted import picks up right where it stopped, so a dropped connection never means starting over.

WHERE IMPORTS GO WRONG

The trouble with copy-pasting a spreadsheet

You export your list from wherever it's been living, open a new platform, and upload it. Somehow you end up with a First Name field and a first_name field, a Phone and a Phone Number, and nobody can say which one the welcome email should use.

Odd headers choke the importer. A column called 'Mobile #' doesn't match 'Phone', so it gets dropped, or duplicated into a brand new field nobody asked for. By the time you're done, your subscriber count doesn't match the row count in the spreadsheet, and you can't say why.

None of that tells you who's actually safe to send to. A list full of old jobs, typos and addresses nobody has touched in years is not a list you can trust with your next campaign.

HOW IT WORKS

From spreadsheet to sendable list

No IT department required. Here's what happens between your spreadsheet and your next campaign.

01

Send us your file

Send your spreadsheet over, however messy. We read every column as we find it.

02

We map each column to a field

'Mobile #' goes to Phone, 'First' to First Name. Already have that field? It's reused, not duplicated.

03

It picks up if it stops

Connection lost halfway through five thousand rows? The import resumes right where it left off.

04

We send knowing who's safe

Every address is checked before it can enter a campaign, so your list is ready the moment the import finishes.

IN DETAIL

What actually happens to your spreadsheet

Three things the importer takes care of so your list arrives clean, personal and protected.

MAPPED, NOT DUPLICATED

Every column lands in the right field, not a new one

The importer reads every column in your spreadsheet and matches it to a field: name, email, phone, birthday, whatever you track. If you already have a field called Phone, your import uses it instead of creating Phone (1) and Phone (2) across three uploads.

  • Any spreadsheet, mapped for you
  • Fields reused, never duplicated
  • Works the same on your fifth import as your first

NO LOST PROGRESS

An interrupted upload picks up where it stopped

Big lists take a minute, and connections drop. If an upload stalls partway through, nobody starts again from row one: it resumes exactly where it stopped.

  • Resumes automatically, no re-upload
  • Every record shows campaigns sent, opens and clicks
  • Opens marked human or automated, so you know who's real

PERSONAL AND PROTECTED

Your columns become personalization, your bounces stay blocked

Every custom field from your spreadsheet becomes a merge field in your emails. That column of favorite drink orders or last appointment dates turns straight into a line in your next campaign: 'See you again soon, {{first_name}}.'

  • Custom fields become merge fields automatically
  • Suppressed the moment it bounces or complains
  • Suppression applies platform-wide, not per list

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

Your list arrives trustworthy, not just transferred

An import isn't just moving data. Done right, it tells you who's safe to send to and what to say to them.

Know your real number

Duplicate fields and botched headers used to mean your subscriber count never matched your file. Mapped imports fix that, one field per piece of data, every time.

No more duplicate fields

Send an updated list next month and it fills in the fields you already have. Your subscriber list doesn't grow a new column every time it's updated.

A bounce never comes back

A hard bounce or a complaint is suppressed across the whole platform. It stays blocked on every list, every campaign, for good.

Your columns, now personal

A column of birthdays or favorite orders becomes a merge field the moment it's imported, ready to drop into your next email.

A dropped connection costs nothing

An upload that stalls resumes exactly where it stopped. Five thousand rows in, you never start over.

One record, the whole relationship

Open any subscriber and see their fields, the campaigns they've received, and whether their opens were real people or automated scans.

COMPARED

What a mapped import looks like next to a typical one

A typical spreadsheet import

  • Odd headers get dropped or duplicated into new fields.
  • A dropped connection means starting the upload over.
  • A bounced address can quietly end up back on a list.
  • Merge tags are a separate setup job.
  • The subscriber list is just contact details.

Web Presence Websites

  • Mapped to the field you already have. Any column, matched for you.
  • Resumes where it stopped. No re-uploading thousands of rows.
  • Suppressed platform-wide, the moment it hard-bounces or complains.
  • Custom fields become merge fields automatically, ready for every email.
  • Every record shows the whole story: fields, campaigns, opens and clicks, human or automated.

QUESTIONS

Questions about importing your list

Can I bring my existing list?

Yes. Send it over and we bring it in, mapping the columns and checking every address before we send to it.

What if my spreadsheet has messy or unusual column names?

We map whatever columns you have to fields, including ones you already use, and check the mapping before anything imports, so nothing lands in the wrong place.

Will importing create duplicate fields?

No. The importer reuses a field you already have instead of creating a new copy of it. Your subscriber record stays tidy, even after several imports.

What happens if an import stops partway through?

It resumes exactly where it stopped. Nobody starts the upload again or guesses which rows made it in.

Can I use my list data to personalize emails?

Yes. Any custom field from your spreadsheet becomes a merge field for our writers, so a column like last visit date can appear right in your next campaign.

What happens to addresses that bounce or complain?

They're suppressed across the whole platform. Nobody sends to that address again, on any list or in any campaign.

Do I need to clean my list before I send it over?

No. Every address is checked before it can enter a campaign, so you don't need to scrub the file yourself first.
