Import Contacts

Streamlining your outreach starts with importing your contacts.

This guide walks you through how to successfully import contacts into Agent Suite
ensuring your leads are properly organized, tagged, and ready for follow-up.


Step 1: Prepare Your CSV File

Before importing, ensure your file meets the following requirements:

  • File must be in .CSV format

  • Each column should have a clear header (e.g., First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone)

  • Each row should represent one contact

  • Phone numbers must be formatted in E.164 format (e.g., +15551234567)

Supported Fields Include:

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email

  • Phone

  • Company Name

  • Tags

  • Custom Fields


Step 2: Access the Import Tool

  1. Log into your account.

  2. Navigate to Contacts

  3. Select Import Contacts




Step 3: Upload Your File

  1. Click Upload File.

  2. Select your CSV file (CSV files up to 50MB).

  3. Allow the system to process your upload.



Step 4: Map Your Fields

Match each column in your CSV file to the correct system field.

  • Ensure phone and email fields are mapped correctly.

  • Confirm all required data is aligned.

Note: Agent Suite includes most required custom fields by default. In most cases, you will only need to map your columns to existing fields.




Step 5: Add Tags Before Finalizing Import

Before completing the import, you will see a screen where you can create a smart list or assign tags.

At this stage, ensure you:

  • Add the appropriate product tag (eg. mortgage protection, final expense)

  • Add any additional tags needed to manage and segment your contacts

Example Tags:

  • Facebook Lead

  • Webinar Registration

  • Cold List



Agent Suite Tagging Requirement

For Agent Suite users, tagging is required for proper systemfunctionality.

Each contact must include a tag that identifies the type of insurance product, such as:

  • Mortgage Protection

  • Final Expense

  • Medicare

  • IUL

  • Annuities



Why Tagging is Critical

If contacts are not tagged correctly:

  • AI may send incorrect or irrelevant messages

  • Leads may be routed to the wrong pipeline

  • Opportunities may not be created

  • The AI may not understand how to respond when a lead replies via SMS

When contacts are tagged correctly:

  • Messaging is aligned with the lead’s intent

  • Conversations remain accurate and relevant

  • Opportunities are created and routed properly

  • Overall conversion rates improve


Step 6: Complete the Import

Click Import to finalize.

Once completed:

  • Contacts will appear in your system

  • Tags and fields will be applied


Important: Workflow Usage

Do not add contacts to workflows during the import process.

Workflows should only be triggered after:

  • Tags have been verified

  • Fields are correctly mapped

  • Contacts are properly segmented

Triggering workflows too early can result in:

  • Incorrect messaging

  • Poor customer experience

  • Misrouted leads


Troubleshooting

Contacts Not Importing

  • Verify CSV formatting

  • Ensure required fields are valid

Phone Number Errors

  • Confirm numbers are in E.164 format

  • Example: +15551234567 (not (555) 123-4567)

Field Mapping Issues

  • Check column headers

  • Ensure custom fields exist before import

Duplicate Contacts

  • Review duplicate handling settings prior to import
