Importing Recipients from a Comma Separated Value file (.CSV)

In this article, we will cover PhishingTackle's CSV Recipient import function.

This is an effective method for importing multiple Recipients while simultaneously adding Tags and other information.

We provide a sample CSV import template, making importing even simpler, this is detailed in the steps below.

From the main dashboard

1. Click Address Book > Import on the main menu
2. Click DOWNLOAD SAMPLE CSV FILE, and open the file
   1. Insert New sample template image;
   2. Insert all the recipients data;
3. Click BROWSE, locate and select the edited CSV File.
4. Click UPLOAD.
   
   
5. (Optional) You can also paste the CSV entries directly into the RECIPIENT LIST box
   • Use the format 'firstname,lastname,department,emailaddress,[tags]' (No Spaces after the commas) eg :-
     

     Ian,Smith,Admin,ian.smith@phishingtackle.com,[RequiresTraining,UK]
     

   • NOTE: If you wish to add multiple tags to the imported recipient, you must enclose them in square brackets eg. [tag1,tag2,tag3].  If you wish to simply add a single tag, no square brackets are required.
   • Tags are very useful for grouping recipients. Be mindful of adding tags while you import recipients as once they are imported, you will need to update each recipient individually to add new tags.
6. Click IMPORT
   
   • NOTE, you can use the IMPORT or UPLOAD buttons interchangeably, both will update everything from the uploaded CSV and the Recipient List.
     
     

Refer to this article if you need to edit Recipients once they have been imported.
