Adding From a Text File

Before you begin, you must have saved a text file with the list of IDs or emails that you wish to target. This file must be in tab delimited format or the management console will be unable to process the contents. The easiest way to ensure compatibility is to download a list of contacts from the management console. The data is downloaded in tab delimited text file format and can be manipulated using a tool such as Microsoft Excel. For details on using Excel to edit tab delimited files please refer to Excel's help documentation.

To add Campaign members from a text file

1. From the Campaigns component list, select the Campaign you would like to modify and click Modify.
2. The component window will be loaded. From the view bar, click Members.
3. From the action bar click Add.
4. Click Add from the list.
5. The Add Campaign Contacts wizard will be displayed.
6. Click File Upload and then click Next to continue.
7. Click the Browse button to browse for the tab delimited text file you wish to upload. The file upload dialog will be displayed. Browse to select your file and click Open to continue.
8. The file name and location will automatically be entered into the Upload File text box. If applicable, click to select the Header Row check box.

   

   If this file was originally downloaded from the management console then by default it will contain a header row.

9. Click Next to continue.
10. The Select Match Key screen will be loaded.

    

    A preview of the data from the text file will be displayed. Check that the correct data is displayed in each column.

    In order to use the uploaded data each record from the uploaded text document needs to be mapped to a contact record within the Management Console.

11. From the Source File list choose the source field that you would like to use for the match. From the Contacts list choose the corresponding field for the contact record.
12. It is recommended to use a field that is likely to be unique, for example email. If the data was downloaded from the Management Console originally then use the Contact ID field. This will ensure accurate matching.
13. Click the Next button to continue.
14. The Set Field Values screen will be loaded.

    

15. The Set Field Values screen allows you to specify the initial values for Campaign member fields of the newly added members.
