Newsletter recipient import made easy
Why is the import function at CleverReach particularly straightforward?
We want to make sending out your newsletters as easy and convenient as possible, and for us this also includes the quick and uncomplicated import of your address data:
- Simple, intuitive user guidance of the import function
- Import of all common file formats such as XLSX, CSV and others for your newsletter dispatch
- Alternatively: Import of your recipient data via interface when using an integration solution
- Address data cleansing / duplicate matching: duplicate recipients are filtered out
- Incorrect data records and general e-mail addresses are also automatically filtered out during the import process
- Assignment of recipient information in up to 45 data fields via drop-down selection
Were you just thinking about importing your e-mail distribution list into Outlook? Our tip: Don't do that! Of course, you can copy/paste your email address list from Excel into Outlook, but you should rather use CleverReach for sending your mailings!
Why do you need the import function in your recipient management?
The import function for various file formats such as CSV, XLS, XLSX and TXT makes it easy for you to maintain your newsletter recipient list. This list with the email addresses of your newsletter subscribers is the basis for successful email marketing and should always be up-to-date. Recipient lists are "living" documents, because the address lists are continuously fed with new recipients, maintained and constantly updated. Simple recipient import makes maintenance easy and time-saving.
Is recipient import the only way to add new recipients to my distribution list?
No, with CleverReach you have other options besides import to add new recipients and recipient data to your address list:
- by manually entering the address data
- by registration via a DOI (double opt-in) registration form on your website
- by importing recipients as part of setting up an integration solution to an external system such as an online store, CMS, CRM or other business software.
Important: All data must have been collected in accordance with the GDPR in order to be able to write to the recipients!

How to Import Newsletter Recipient Data
5 Steps that make it easy to make to most of your recipient list!
1. Select list
Select the list you want to add contacts to or create a new list of recipients in your account.
2. Add data
- Go to “Add data” and select “Import” within the list.
- Choose between uploading a file, the “copy and paste” function, or loading URL/FTP.
3. Link data
Now you can match the data of your import file to the existing data fields in CleverReach:
- See the fields of your list of recipients next to the columns of your import file; on the left you’ll find the fields from the CleverReach database, on the right the ones of the import file.
- The selection of the data fields is made via a drop-down menu
- If you can’t see the data field allocation, your import file presumably only contains email addresses. In this case, this step is skipped.
- The field “email address” is obligatory, all other fields are optional
- If there are no fields shown on the left, you’ll have to create them first.
- If your import file doesn’t contain data for one of the fields, just put in an alternative value that will be added for every recipient.
4. Import options
The import feature offers you the following options:
- Add data: New data is added, already existing data is not changed.
- Update & add: New data is added; existing data is updated. Inactive recipients remain inactive, but duplicates are synchronized. An existing data set is updated with the first found data set, further duplicates are ignored.
- Disable: Data sets are disabled; not existing ones are imported as inactive recipients.
- Replace: PLEASE NOTE if you choose this option, all data sets will be deleted completely and then added again to the new list. All information will be lost (clicks / opens / unsubscribes).
- Delete: All data fields from the import file are deleted from the list of recipients. Please note, that all information will be lost: opens, clicks, unsubscribes, etc.
Note: Before importing data to our system, please familiarize yourself with our anti-spam regulations.
5. Your Advantages
Recipient lists are “living” documents: you constantly have to update and take care of them. For every campaign you can, depending on the topic, extend or mix your lists up a little.
