For those who already have their contacts database in their emails and phones, it might be rather troublesome to have to type them out all over again. Fret not, there are a couple of ways we can get around this. In this post we’ll show you how to Import Contacts. To learn how to bulk add contacts, click here…

Importing Contacts

This could mean a few things. You could use this method if you already have your contacts data somewhere else (like in your Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail/whatever e-mail account, your phone, etc), and want to transfer it.

Anyway, whatever the scenario, here’s how you do it.

1. First of all, you have to prepare the contacts file that you want to import into ezypzy. You can do that by simply exporting from your email account/email client/phone/wherever. You should select the “export as CSV” function, if it is available.

In this “HOW TO” I’m suggesting doing a combination of both, as you want to make sure that your contacts database is properly done up.

NOTE: If, however, you are unable to export to a CSV file, then you might want to take a look at these instructions how to enter your contacts data into a CSV file (for example, your contacts might exist in some address book… the paper kind).

2. Go to your ezypzy account, and on to the Contacts page, click on the “Import and Bulk Add Contacts” link that is sitting on the right column, under Services. The Import and Bulk Add Contact function will appear at the top of your contacts list.

3. Click on Import From Ezypzy CSV Template.

4. Click on Generate Default Template.

5. Open both the CSV file you exported from your email, and the template in your spreadsheet programme (like Microsoft Excel).

6. Cut and paste the information your exported CSV file to the relevant columns in the generated template CSV.

NOTE: When filling in mobile phone numbers, be sure to fill it with the country code in front. For example, the phone number 015-3110101 should be entered as “60153110101″.

7. Save your new contacts file (make sure the extension is .CSV), and upload it to Ezypzy. You might need to repeat Steps 2 and 3, and then click on the “Browse” button to select your file, and then click “Upload“.

Your contacts should be imported.
