Importing contacts

Already have a customer list from WhatsApp, Instagram, or another platform? Import them into Bizthom so you can start marketing to them right away.

Prepare your CSV file

Create a CSV (spreadsheet) file with columns for:

  • Name — customer's full name
  • Email — email address (optional)
  • Phone — phone number in +234 format (e.g., +2348012345678)

Uploading your file

Go to Contacts and click Import. Upload your CSV file and map each column to the correct field. Bizthom shows a preview so you can verify the data looks right before importing.

Handling duplicates

If a contact with the same email or phone already exists, Bizthom updates the existing record rather than creating a duplicate. Your data stays clean.

Assign to a group

During import, you can assign all imported contacts to a group (e.g., "Instagram Followers" or "WhatsApp List"). This makes it easy to target them in broadcasts later.
