To import contacts into your Marketing section you have to prepare a .CSV document. To prepare a .CSV document one must open spreadsheet document (Example: Excel), where you type in all your contacts and their details. Each information about the contact must be written in its own column. Certain personalized information about your contacts will have to be added to your marketing section as new attributes and those have to be prepared in advance.
To prepare customer’s attributes, please read Attributes in the Marketing section or see the tutorial.
Important
Each contact in your .csv file should contain at least one unique identifier. Identifiers that are checked by the system are ID numbers, CODES, and DEFAULT EMAIL addresses.
- During your first import, an ID number will be automatically assigned to each imported contact. After that, you can use that same ID number for any updates.
- CODE can be assigned to contacts either manually or automatically.
- DEFAULT EMAIL address is the third and the most common identifier which is assigned to each contact manually.
After the import, you can see the ID number and code by clicking the View button in your contacts list.
Before the first import, we suggest you prepare a file with all the contact information. If you decide to prepare import files with codes and emails, make sure, each contact gets a unique and only one time used code. If you only decide to use emails, then all the codes and IDs will be given to contacts automatically.
Warning!
Every import of new contacts will override already existing contacts if one of the three unique identifiers will match the already existing one.
Example: If your contacts list already includes a contact with CODE number 101, and you prepare a new import file that also contains CODE number 101, then the latest import will override the already existing one. This way you can lose already existing contacts.
OUR ADVICE
Our advice is to import contacts with Codes and emails and let the system give them automated ID numbers. Once the amount of contacts grows, you can always export them, arrange them by identifiers (either codes or IDs) and edit them or add new ones and then import them back.
When importing contacts with multiple contact information of the same type (Example: contact with more than one email address), you must first import those contacts with only one contact information of the same type. After contacts are imported, you can manually add the other information of the same type.
If you wish to import more contact info with the importer, then you must identify the contact by the code and add the new contact info in the .csv file. The system will add the contact info to the existing one.
When it comes to importing contacts with addresses, make sure you put each info in a separate column and ALWAYS add all the required info: FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, EMAIL, STREET, STREET/HOUSE NUMBER, POSTAL CODE, CITY/TOWN, AND COUNTRY. Without all this information the import will fail.
IMPORTING SHOP USERS
When importing shop users you need to import them with an address. You have the option to set both the shipping and the billing address.
To create an import document (CSV) with ease, we have prepared a table of content you can import when adding contacts to DG1 marketing to facilitate the process of importing contacts.

Add new import
- To start a new import, navigate to the Site field in the header of your DG1 Admin section. Click the SITE dropdown menu and select the site to which you will import contacts.
- Navigate to Audience in the Marketing section of your DG1 platform.
- Click Import.
- Enter details about the import:
- Using site: This field indicates the site, which the customer will be imported for. Example: DG1 Shop
- Name: Name of your new import.
- Segment: Add contacts into a segment. Segment is a group of contacts that can be added with Import or by filters. You can import all contacts to one segment directly or you can filter them through a variety of characteristics. Example: Let’s say you had a prize game and you would now like to import contacts to your database. It’s recommended that you create a segment called Prize game rather than creating a new mailing list. Segmenting your contacts will really help you because you will be able to use the same contacts for different purposes and promotions. It’s better to have only a few mailing lists and more segments within mailing lists.
Note
Choosing a segment is not mandatory! You have to add contacts to Mailing lists, at least the default one!
For more information on how to create a new Segment see DG1 Targeting manual.
- Country code: Choose a country calling code if all your contacts in .csv file have the same country calling number. This way you do not have to manually add country calling codes to your .csv file. If you have international contacts list in the .csv file, it has to contain a column with all country calling codes.
- Subscribe contacts to refers to “one to one” communication with your contacts outside mailing lists. Recommendation: leave them as they are.
- Choose the mailing list to which you want to import contacts. Click in the window and choose your mailing list or leave it set to Default.
If you would like to delete specific notifications for your imported contacts, select mailing lists and delete notifications by clicking x’s. Example: click the to delete a notification.
- Import document: Upload file through file selector.
- File encoding: You have to select the same file encoding as in the import file (Example: UNICODE UTF 8).
- Contains Headers: Check, if your import file contains the headers row. (Example: Name, Last name, Address etc.).
- Field separator: Choose the same as when you were saving your import file as .csv (Example: comma).
- Field enclosure: Choose the same as when you were saving your import file as .csv (Example: double quotation mark).
- Processing activity permissions - due to GDPR legislation you must select all the types of information for which you claim you have acquired a proper consent in the document you are about to import. Depending on the type of data, please select options under Marketing newsletter OPT-IN and/or options under Personalization & profiling consent.
- To create your own consent please go to Advanced -> Processing activities and click Add .
In your Import preview select headers, if they have not been recognized from .csv file. Above each column click Skip and select the attribute to which the information in column refers to.
If you already had headers in your import file, the selection will be done automatically but it might not recognize all headers. So follow the above instructions. If your import document does not include headers, you will have to add them manually.
Example: Import did not recognize certain headers and you will have to manually add them by clicking the arrow and choosing the right one.
- To save click Submit .
- Click Actions and choose Import.
- Refresh page and the contacts will be imported.
Note
When importing contacts you should select a header (or the system will automatically detect it). If the header is an attribute and your .csv file has no value for this attribute, the default value of this attribute will be added automatically after import. To avoid this situation make sure you do NOT import a csv. file with empty attribute columns.
To view results of your import click Actions and select Results.
To view the status of your imports click List and choose the import you would like to check. Click Actions and after that Results. See the succeeded and failed contacts. By clicking Show reason you will see a reason explaining why the import of that contact has failed.
Export the failed contacts by clicking Export failed . Then select your preferred export type (either excel, CSV, ods, etc.) Once the file is downloaded to your computer, you can open it, correct the wrong data, save the file and import it back to your platform following the same process as with your other imports.
