ℹ️

Few things to node while uploading contacts using CSV: 1. New contacts added to the system will have their Subscription Status set to Subscribed. 2. Rows with no email address or invalid address are ignored. 3. If contact already exists in the system, then we will just update the contact properties with the values in the CSV file. 4. If there are duplicate email addresses, only 1 contact will be imported but contact properties will be updated with the latest values.
