# How to import contacts into Contacts Pro

Importing your contacts into Contacts Pro is straightforward. You fill in a supplied Excel template, upload it, and Contacts Pro emails you when the import is done. Follow these steps to upload your contacts from an Excel file.

# Import your contacts

  1. 1

    Click Download Template to get the Excel template. It is designed for compatibility with Contacts Pro.

  2. 2

    Open the template and enter your contacts. Follow the format in the template to avoid import errors.

  3. 3

    Return to Contacts Pro, click Import Contacts, and select your filled-in file. Only Excel files that end in .xlsx are allowed.

  4. 4

    Wait for the import to finish. You receive an email confirming completion and how many contacts were imported successfully.

Only Excel files with a .xlsx extension are accepted. Match the columns and format in the template exactly to avoid import errors.

# Troubleshooting

# Format errors

If the import reports errors, make sure the data in your Excel file strictly follows the format in the template.

# Limit exceeded

If you go over the contact limit for your tier during the import, you receive an email, and only a portion of your contacts, up to the limit, is imported. For tier limits and upgrade options, see mixed tier usage in Contacts Pro or open the Admin Center.
