Bulk import contacts into AutoSend using a CSV file.

1. From the Marketing Emails section, click on the **Contacts** tab
2. Go to **Lists and Segments.**
3. Click on **Add Contacts > Import via CSV**.

</Frame>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload CSV" titleSize="h3">
    1. Select your CSV file.
    2. In **Save in,** chose which list you want to add these contacts to. If needed, you can create a new list directly from this dropdown.
    3. Click **Next**

      <img src={IMAGES.importCsv} alt="Import CSV" width={400} height={600} className="w-full" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map the Fields" titleSize="h3">
    AutoSend will show you a preview of your CSV columns.

    Map each column to the corresponding contact field — e.g., “First Name” → `first_name`.

    If a field doesn’t exist yet, you can create a new custom field directly from this screen.

    <Frame>
      <img src={IMAGES.mapFields} alt="Map Fields" width={400} height={600} className="w-full" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and Refresh" titleSize="h3">
    Once mapping is complete, click **Start Importing**.

    Your import will begin processing in the background.

    You’ll receive an confirmation email once the import is complete, including:

    * Total Contacts in the CSV
    * Contacts successfully imported
    * Contacts failed to import
    * Contacts skipped
    * Duplicates

    <Frame>
      <img src={IMAGES.importSuccess} alt="Import Success" width={400} height={600} className="w-full" />
