What does it do?
Within your Dashboard you can store contacts to send SMS. Managing your contacts from our Dashboard allows you to easily send messages, customize your campaigns and lets you create groups to manage.
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to add, delete and manage your contacts. You will also learn how to create contact groups.
Where to go to manage your Contacts?
Click on ‘Contacts’ on the left panel of your dashboard, then ‘+Add contact’
A new window will pop up and you’ll have the choice to import list or create a single contact.
You can also add contacts to an existing group - check out create a group. To create a group while importing - check out Add (import) contacts.
Import List
- Add file
- If you have created a list of contacts, you can import the document in .xls, .xlsx, .csv or .txt format. Drop the file or click on ‘Choose file’
- Please make sure your file has less than 20,000 contacts. If it has more than 20,000 contacts, please split them.
- You can also use the option to Paste text
- You can also just type your contact details and use a delimiter for each row.
- For example: 11234567890;John;Doe
- Make sure every number includes a country code!
