Importing contacts

1. Upload

Drag and drop or click to choose a .csv file (up to 50MB). A Download sample CSV link shows the expected format. If you're close to your plan's contact limit, a warning banner appears with usage numbers and an Upgrade Plan shortcut, better to know before the import fails partway through.

2. Map columns

Match each column in your file to a Peleka field: Email Address (required), First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Timezone, Status, Tags (comma-separated), any existing custom field, Create Custom Field... for a new one, or Skip Column. You can't continue until a column is mapped to Email Address.

3. Tags

Optionally toggle Add Tags to apply one or more tags to every contact in this import, handy for keeping track of where a batch came from (imported-2026-conference, for example).

4. Review

A preview table shows your first five rows mapped exactly as they'll be imported. Before you can proceed, you must check:

"I confirm that all contacts in this file have explicitly granted me permission to send them marketing emails. I understand that importing purchased or third-party lists is strictly prohibited and violates the Terms of Service."

This isn't a formality. Peleka enforces it, and importing a purchased or scraped list is a fast way to get your sending domain's reputation (and your account) in trouble.

5. Done

Large imports process in the background; you'll get a confirmation email once it's finished rather than waiting on the page.
