This tab allows the import or modification of large amounts of subscribers. You need to prepare a list of subscribers in the following format:

 

email;firstname;lastname

 

Copy it to the List of subscribers to be processed text area. Each line should contain one record in the mentioned format. The following examples are all valid:

 

david.scott@company.com;David;Scott

mary.jones@mail.com;;Jones

frank.maguire@web.com;Frank

monica@italy.com

 

By selecting one of the three radio buttons above the text area and adding some newsletters using the Add newsletters button below, the following actions can be done:

 

Subscribe imported users to the selected newsletters - subscribes imported users to the selected newsletters
Do not subscribe existing users to selected newsletters - if checked, users with already existing e-mail addresses will not be subscribed to the selected newsletters, only their names will be updated
Unsubscribe the users from selected newsletters - entered users will be unsubscribed from the newsletters selected below
Delete the subscribers - entered users will be deleted from the list of subscribers

 

Click Import to add the subscribers from the list and perform the selected action. If one of the lines contains an invalid entry, the import is not processed for any of the records and an error is displayed. If a subscriber e-mail address already exists, the first name and last name are updated instead of creating a new subscriber.

 

You can also set whether the subscription confirmation e-mail should be sent to the imported subscribers. It's recommended that you do not import more than 1000 subscribers at once.
