Email | Govaio makes it easy to bring your existing contacts into the platform. You can import contacts from CSV or Excel files, and the import wizard will guide you through mapping your file columns to Email | Govaio contact fields.

To start an import, go to Contacts and click the "Import" button. Select your file (CSV or XLSX format) and upload it. On the next screen, you will see a preview of your data and a mapping interface where you can match each column in your file to the corresponding Email | Govaio field such as First Name, Last Name, Email, Company, Phone, and any custom fields you have created.

Email | Govaio will automatically detect and suggest mappings for common column names. For example, a column named "Email Address" will automatically map to the Email field. Review the suggested mappings and adjust any that are incorrect.

During import, Email | Govaio checks for duplicate contacts based on email address. If a contact with the same email already exists, you can choose to skip duplicates, update existing records with new data, or create duplicates. We recommend choosing "Update existing" to keep your data fresh without creating duplicate entries.

After the import completes, you will see a summary showing how many contacts were created, updated, and skipped. Any rows with errors (such as invalid email formats) will be listed so you can fix and re-import them. There is no limit on the number of contacts you can import at once, but very large files (over 100,000 rows) may take a few minutes to process.
