Import contacts using the Google plugin

Abstract

Learn how to import Google contacts through Integrations.

Moosend allows you to import your Google contacts using the Google plugin. You can transform your existing Google contacts into recipients on your Moosend email marketing lists.

Note

Another way to import contacts from Google is through the email list bulk actions.

To import your Google contacts:

  1. On the menu bar, click More > Integrations.

  2. On the Integrations page, find Google Contacts and click Select.

  3. In the Choose email list dialog, click the email list that you want to add your Google contacts to and then click Continue.

  4. Click Connect your Google account and enter your Google credentials.

  5. Click Allow to complete the authentication step.

  6. On the Data selection tab, select how you want to import your contacts' data:

    • No, import everything - import all the fields in your contacts list.

    • Yes, I want to import from a list of filters - select which contact groups to import.

  7. If you have the consent from all subscribers on the list through the double opt-in process, select the Yes, add them as verified, I do have consent from these members check box and click Next.

  8. On the Data Mapping tab, click each drop-down list and select the default Email field or any created custom field. If you want to map a specific column to a field, click the Map to drop-down list, select the field to use, and click Next.

    Note

    If you have not mapped all uploaded data to their corresponding fields, a pop-up dialog asks you to confirm that you want to ignore any unmapped columns. Click Ignore and continue.

  9. On the Notification tab, select if and how you want to be notified when the import process has been completed. Click Import to start the process.

  10. A pop-up message indicates that the import operation has been successfully queued. To view a report of the operation, click Go there.

  11. Click View reports to see the details of when the import operation started or finished, and how many contacts were imported.
