How to Import External Subscribers into Your Beacons Audience

Updated over 5 months ago

There are a few different ways to add your subscribers from outside of Beacons, into your Beacon account. That way, you can email them through your Beacons email marketing account.

Important: Please ensure that all subscribers you import have explicitly consented to receive email marketing from you, in compliance with ICANN spam rules. Failure to comply may result in the termination of your Beacons account.

Manually Submit Contacts

  1. Sign into your Beacons account and go to ā€œAudienceā€ tab in the left navigation tab.

  2. Click on the blue ā€œImport Audience Membersā€ button.

  3. Click the ā€œAdd email addressesā€ option.

  4. Paste or write in or paste individual email addresses. If entering more than 1, make sure emails are separated by a comma.

Import New Contacts From a CSV File.

This is the best way to import a large number of subscribers from anywhere.

ā€œCSVā€ stands for ā€œcomma-separated value fileā€, which is the most common spreadsheet file type. You can open, edit and make CSV files in most spreadsheet applications like Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel and Apple Numbers.

Prepare for Import

1. Download our template import here:
​template.csv

2. Open the downloaded template in a spreadsheet program. It should look something like this:

3.) Paste or fill in the columns with your subscribers details.

  • The only required field/column is ā€œemailā€ (the first column). All other fields/columns are optional, and can be left empty when importing.

  • Make sure the "email" column is in top left A:1 cell

4.) Save or export the the spreadsheet as a CSV file. When downloaded, you should see the file have the ā€œ.csvā€ file extension.

  • If using Google sheets, Excel or Numbers: Export file as a CSV

  1. Sign into your Beacons account. Navigate to Your Email Marketing App.

  2. Go to ā€œAudienceā€ tab in the top navigation tab.

  3. Click on the blue ā€œImport Audience Membersā€ button.

  4. Click the ā€œUpload CSV fileā€ option.
