Once done, click on the ‘Next’ button and tick the given checkbox if you have the consent of your contacts regarding the marketing emails > Tap on the ‘Start importing’ button to upload your contacts
Voilà! It’s done. You’ll get the confirmation email as well 🤟
Maximum 5 CSV files can be uploaded at the same time.
