        Importing your existing subscribers is something every brand-new Yotpo SMS & Email user wishes to do. Luckily this can be easily done from the Import subscribers wizard with just a few simple steps.

        Before you start

        To successfully import your existing subscribers, you need to prepare a CSV file with a maximum size of 10 MB including their phone number, name, email address, and country. You can use our CSV template. Depending on the data you wish to import, you can include only phone numbers or email addresses.

        Importing your subscribers

        1. In your Yotpo SMS & Email main menu, go to Audience > Lists & Segments
        2. Click Import subscribers.A pop-up will appear. 
        3. Next to the Upload a file option, click Import. The other two options require integration with Mailchimp or Klaviyo.

        4. Choose where you want your imported contacts to go - a new list you have to name or an existing list from the drop-down menu. Click Next.
          Select list
        5. Choose which subscribers to import. You can choose between SMS, email, or both.
        Please note:
        Choosing SMS and Email or SMS will require you to input how you collected your SMS subscribers so we can check you’re fully compliant. Choose a service and tool from the drop-down menus and add a screenshot of that tool if you have one.

        6. When you’re ready click Next.
