💡 Tips for Best Results

  • • Use Excel format (.xlsx) - CSV files can have parsing issues
  • • Ensure your file has column headers in the first row
  • • The email column is the only required field - all others are optional
  • • For language, use "English", "French", or leave blank (defaults to English)
  • • Tags can be comma-separated (e.g., "Politics, Business, Tech")
  • • Distribution categories can be comma-separated (e.g., "Finance, Mining, Tech")
  • • If duplicates are found, you'll be asked how to handle them
