This is the most critical step. A well-prepared CSV file ensures a smooth process. Learn how to send personalized messages safely.

Step 1: Prepare Your CSV File for a Flawless Campaign

  1. Open a spreadsheet program like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel.
  2. Create your headers in the first row. The most important header is for the phone numbers. Let’s call it mobile.
  3. Crucial Formatting: Ensure all phone numbers include the country code but without the + sign or spaces.
    ✅ Correct: 14155552671 (US)
    ✅ Correct: 919876543210 (India)
    ❌ Incorrect: +1 (415) 555-2671
    ❌ Incorrect: 09876543210
  4. Add Columns for Personalization: Add headers like name, city, or order_id.
  5. Save/Export the file as a .CSV file.
