Campaign
Import upto 2 lakh contacts in one go
Bring your whole customer list in from a CSV — up to 2,00,000 contacts in one file — with names, tags and custom fields, ready to segment and broadcast to.
Before you start
- A CSV file with a header row. Excel/Google Sheets: File → Download → CSV.
- 1
Prepare the file
One contact per row, with a phone column (with country code, e.g. 919876543210 or +91 98765 43210). Optional columns: name, email, company, city, country, industry, tags, birthday — and any of your own.

Open the import
WhatsApp Automation → Contacts → Import, and choose the file. Columns with standard names are recognised automatically.
- 3
Map your own columns
Columns that aren't standard (e.g. “Course”) can be mapped to a custom field, so they can fill {{1}}, {{2}} in campaigns later.
- 4
Choose what happens to existing contacts
“Update their details” fills in new details for numbers you already have; “Skip them” leaves them as they are. Duplicate numbers in the file are imported once.
- 5
Import
Click Import. Large files go in batches with a progress bar — keep the tab open until it says Import complete, with how many were added, updated, skipped and invalid.
Good to know
- Broadcasting to a list straight away? Broadcast Campaigns → New → Upload CSV imports it and maps columns in the same step.
- Only import people who agreed to hear from you on WhatsApp. A bought list gets blocked fast and drags your quality rating down.
- Bigger than 2 lakh? Split the file and import each part.
