How to Import or Export an Email List (Steps & Video 1:24)

Written instructions below.

How to Import:

First, you'll want to prepare your email list. It should be a spreadsheet containing only email addresses in Column A and saved as a CSV.

Next, go to Promotion > Email > Import Lists and follow the steps on that page:

1. Choose which list name to import to (if you haven't created the list name yet, you can do so by going to Promotion > Manage Lists or read Create an Email list for instructions.)
2. Upload your CSV file
3. Click Import List
4. On the next page, confirm your import.  You'll receive a confirmation when the addresses have imported, how many good email addresses were imported, and also how many duplicates and bad email addresses were found (those won't be imported).

1. Go to Promotion > Email > Export Lists
