NOAN makes it easy to bring your contacts into your workspace—whether you’re importing a large list or just a handful of new connections. Here’s how to do it:
1. Uploading Contacts via CSV
Best for: Large batches of contacts
Step-by-Step
-
Prepare Your CSV FileYour CSV must have a column called name (this should include both first and last names in the same cell).
-
You can also include these optional columns:alias
-
email
-
phone
-
website
-
company
-
role
-
memo (for any extra info you want to store about each contact - you can add up to 10 memos at once as part of an import).
Example:
-
Upload Your CSVGo to the NOAN Network page.
-
Click the Upload CSV button in the top right corner.
-
Select your file and follow the prompts.
-
Review & ConfirmNOAN will process your file and show you a preview.
-
Confirm the import to add your contacts.
Note:
-
You can’t batch add tags during CSV upload.
-
To add tags, see the “Tagging Contacts” section below.
2. Batch Upload via the Assistant
Best for: Small batches or when you want to add tags at the same time
Step-by-Step
-
Prepare Your ListHave your list of names and emails ready (you can include other details if you like).
-
Ask the AssistantIn your NOAN workspace, tell the assistant: “I have a list of names and emails I want to batch upload as contacts.”
-
Paste your list when prompted.
-
**Add Tags (Optional)**If you want to tag these contacts, tell the assistant which tag to use.
-
If the tag doesn’t exist, ask the assistant to create it and assign it during upload.
3. Tagging Contacts After Upload
-
**CSV Upload:**You can’t batch add tags during the CSV upload, but you can ask the assistant to tag contacts after they’re imported.Example: “Tag all contacts with the memo ‘VIP customer’ as ‘VIP’.”
-
**Assistant Upload:**The assistant can add tags as part of the upload process for small batches.
Tips & Possibilities
-
Use the memo column for any extra info you want to store about a contact.
-
Title the memo column, memo, memo2, memo3 and so on up to memo10
-
If you need to organize or sort contacts by tags after upload, just ask the assistant.
-
For ongoing imports, keep your CSV template handy and update as needed.
