# CSV import

> Import contacts in bulk from a CSV file.

You can import contacts into Gatrevo's contact store from any CSV file — CRM exports, event attendee lists, LinkedIn exports, or any spreadsheet.

## CSV format

Your CSV must include a header row. Supported columns:

| Column       | Required | Notes                                              |
| ------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `email`      | Yes      | Must be a valid email address                      |
| `first_name` | No       |                                                    |
| `last_name`  | No       |                                                    |
| `company`    | No       |                                                    |
| `title`      | No       | Job title                                          |
| `industry`   | No       | Gatrevo normalises common variations automatically |

Columns can be in any order. Extra columns are ignored.

**Example:**

```csv theme={null}
email,first_name,last_name,company,title,industry
jane@acmecorp.com,Jane,Smith,Acme Corp,VP of Sales,SaaS
john@widget.io,John,Doe,Widget Inc,CTO,Fintech
```

## Importing

1. Go to **Contacts** → **Import CSV**
2. Select your file
3. Gatrevo previews the first few rows — confirm the mapping looks correct
4. Click **Import**

## What happens on import

* Duplicates (matched by email) are skipped — existing contacts are not overwritten
* Invalid email addresses are skipped with a warning
* Industry values are normalised to Gatrevo's standard list (e.g. "SaaS" → "Technology", "FS" → "Financial Services")
* Unknown industry values are stored as-is

## After import

Imported contacts appear immediately in your contact list and are available for campaigns. Go to **Campaigns** → **New campaign** → **Use existing contacts** to target them.
