Open the import modal
- Go to Contacts in the sidebar.
- Click the Import button next to the Add Contact button.
- The import modal opens.
CSV import
Use CSV import to bring in a list of contacts from a spreadsheet or another application.
- In the import modal, select the CSV tab.
- Download the CSV template if you need the correct column format.
- Prepare your CSV file with the required columns.
- Drop the file onto the upload area or click to select it.
- Review the preview of contacts that will be imported.
- Click Import to save them.
Contacts imported from CSV are saved as Person contacts by default. Duplicate detection runs during import — if a contact with the same name already exists, you are notified.
Calendar / vCard import (.ics)
Use this option to import contacts from a calendar invite or vCard file exported from another application.
- In the import modal, select the ICS / vCard tab.
- Drop your .ics or vCard file onto the upload area or click to select it.
- Review the contacts extracted from the file.
- Click Import to save them.
After importing
Imported contacts appear in your Contact Directory immediately. You can edit any contact after import to add categories, link to a Travel Library place, or correct any details.
Tips
- Import is best for bringing in an existing contact list. For ongoing additions, use Add Contact directly.
- If you have contacts in a spreadsheet, export it as CSV and use the CSV import.
- After import, use the filter tabs to find your new contacts and verify the details.
