Importing contacts (CSV & Excel)
Go to Contacts → Import and upload a UTF-8 CSV file or an Excel workbook (.xlsx, first sheet) — max 5 MB and 10,000 rows per file. The first row must contain headers. Old .xls files must be re-saved as .xlsx.
Recognised columns
phone(required) — any format; numbers without a country code use your workspace's default country.name,email,company,lead_statustags— separated by;or|consent—opted_in,opted_outor blank; plus optionalconsent_evidencedescribing where consent was collected.- Any other column whose header matches a custom field key.
Duplicates
Contacts are matched by normalised phone number. Choose to skip or update existing contacts. Duplicate rows inside the same file are reported.
Consent
Only mark contacts as opted in if they actually agreed to receive WhatsApp messages from your business. Importing a contact as opted-in records a consent entry with your evidence note. An existing opt-out is never overwritten by an import.
