Important

  • Email Field- if not labeled as “email” our system can not detect this column in your sheet.
  • You can only import files created on Google Drive.
  • This integration can only import files owned/created by you. If you are trying to import a sheet that you do not own, we recommend you first create a copy of the data to a new sheet in your Google Drive.
  • We recommend you delete all empty columns from the sheet you are importing. Empty columns may cause the integration to break.
  • If trying to import an external file to Google Drive, the data must be in the format XLS or XLSX.
  • If there are multiple sheets in the file, only the first sheet will be imported.

The final number of imported contacts may be less than the projected number due to the filtering of certain emails. Benchmark Email removes role-based emails, duplicates, unsubscribe, and blocked domains. Click Here to learn more.

Note: Since this integration offers a one-time import if you need to import more contacts at a later time, you will have to repeat the steps above. However, when you go to import again, you can choose the previous connection or create a new one.
