# Import contacts

Upload a CSV, an Excel file or a Google Sheets link, and match your columns.

[Open in the app →](https://app.example.com/#/contacts)

Go to **Contacts** and click **Import contacts**. You can use:

-   A **CSV** file
-   An **Excel** file
-   A **Google Sheets** link

Files up to **25 MB** work.

## Google Sheets

Share the sheet as **“Anyone with the link can view”**. Then paste the link.

Tick **Keep in sync** to import new rows every hour. New people join any running campaign that uses this list.

## Match your columns

We show the rows we found. Pick which column has the **email address**. Then match the others: first name, last name, company, job title.

Any other column becomes a **variable** you can use in your emails. For example, a column called “city” becomes `{{city}}`.

## What happens next

-   We check every address. Addresses that can’t receive email and throwaway inboxes are left out. See [How we check contacts](/help/contact-checks).
-   We tag each contact with their email provider: Google, Microsoft, Zoho, Yahoo or Other. See [Email providers (ESP)](/help/email-providers).
-   Duplicates are merged.
-   Blocked and bounced emails are skipped.

When it’s done, you see how many were imported and how many were left out, with the reason.

## Using a list in a campaign

Pick one or more lists in a campaign. Someone in two lists gets your emails only once.
