Importing csv files

[TonyWilliams]

I have just imported an email csv list of 4 addresses to test Newsletter. I used the Import button on the New Subscriber screen. However, the import has only created one subscriber with First Name, Second name and email address all filled with three of the four email addresses? How do I import a number of addresses an create individual subscribers?
Thank you

Hi, how is formatted your import file? One address per line?

[TonyWilliams]

No the file was comma separated.

Please refer to the example in the import panel, every line is a record, the first field must be the email to import.

Sorry Stefano but I can’t find the example anywhere?

At the botton of the import panel you should have:

Data format and other notes

Consider to break up your input list if you get errors, blank pages or partially imported lists: it can be a time/resource limit of your provider. It’s safe to import the same list a second time, no duplications will occur.

Import list format is:

email 1[separator]first name 1[separator]last name 1[separator]gender 1[new line]
email 2[separator]first name 2[separator]last name 2[separator]gender 2[new line]

where [separator] must be selected from the available ones. Empty lines and lines starting with “#” will be skipped. There is no separator escaping mechanism, so be sure that field values do not contain the selected separator. The only required field is the email all other fields are options. Gender must be “m” or “f”.
