How can I import Contacts from a csv-file?
In addition to being able to create, edit, and add contacts directly into your Contacts section, it is also possible to import contacts via a .csv or .txt file in the UTF-8 (Unicode) format.
The CSV file's data should be organised as in the following example
"First Name","Middle Name","Last Name","Birthday","Notes","E-mail Address","E-mail 2 Address","E-mail 3 Address","Primary Phone","Home Phone","Home Phone 2","Mobile Phone","Home Address","Company Main Phone","Business Phone","Business Phone 2","Assistant's Phone","Company","Job Title","Business Address","Other Phone","Other Address","Car Phone","Radio Phone", "John","JR","Smith",01/01/70,"Sample Contact","mr_smith@domain.tld","jsmith@job.tld",,"+442036031690",,,,"High Street. 3, SW10 9WT London",,,,,"Smith & Sons Ltd","Director",,,,,
Most programs such as Excel will allow you to save your contacts as a CSV file. Most times the file will automatically save in the UTF-8, plain text format. However, once your file has been saved, it might be necessary to ensure the file is in this format.
To ensure your file is correctly saved as a .csv or .txt file in the UTF-8 format, please use these guides for Mac OS and Windows.
