How To Import Contacts To Your Address Book

It is possible to Import Contacts from a CSV file into autoplayauto.com via the Address Book.  To do so click on the Import Contacts button pictured below (highlighted with red underline).  You can then elect to add directly to a 'Contact Group', 'Yard' or even a 'Manager' (The Managers shown in the drop down will be any user ticked as a Manager in the Manage Contacts role).

Please note that Contacts can only be uploaded using a specific CSV format with AutoPlay headers/field names.  A template can be downloaded directly from the Import Contacts popup via the 'Download Template' button.  Before you upload any file make sure it is saved as a CSV, and Excel is closed.  Once the file has uploaded these contacts will be available to send emails to, or load leads against.

On completion of the import you will receive a log file showing the number of successful and failed records.
