How to import prospects from a CSV file?

Import prospects via a CSV file

Updated over a week ago

If you're starting with Waalaxy and already have a database of prospects in an external file, you can easily import it into your account. This allows you to immediately start your prospects on their first campaign. 🤩


What should my CSV file include?

To import a CSV file into Waalaxy, the LinkedIn URL column is mandatory.
Each prospect must be linked to a LinkedIn profile.

Optional data

You can also add the following information:

  • Email address

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Job title

  • Company

  • Region

  • Phone number

👉 This data will replace the information retrieved from LinkedIn and will be used as a priority in your campaigns.

💡 Good to know

  1. Accepted data types:

    During the import, only LinkedIn URLs, Sales Navigator URLs, and emails are taken into account to ensure data integrity.

    ➡️ After the import, to find prospects with a personal email, apply the “Has a LinkedIn email” filter in your list.

  2. Number of prospects:
    There is no limit to the number of prospects you can import via a CSV file.

⚠️ If you import a prospect’s email, it must be associated with a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator URL.
To do this, use a file containing at least:

  • a LinkedIn URL column

  • an Email column

Options:

  • Team Duplicate Security: when this option is activated, you can't import a prospect who is already in the app of another team member.

    This feature is only included in the Team subscription.

  • Move duplicates to import list: when this option is activated, prospects that are already in one of your lists will be moved to the list you are importing into.

  • Overwrite and replace existing prospect information: when this option is enabled, the data from the CSV file replaces the existing information of the prospect already in your account.
