Birthday Scenario - Contacts

You collected new contact information, such as name and date of birth, in an event to promote your brand. So later, you can use this data to create a birthday campaign.

Let's look at how to import all contact data collected in this event!

Data Import Overview

The SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement provides an easy-to-use wizard for importing .csv files with field and value matching features for manual and auto-imports.

Manual Import

Manual Import has two main uses:

  • the initial upload of your contacts, during the onboarding phase
  • when the use of the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement API is unsuitable, for example, uploading lists of contacts collected offline.

Before starting with Manual Data Import:

  • Only .csv files can be uploaded. When importing a file manually, please note that files should not exceed 64 MB.
  • If you have requirements different from this, consider setting up an auto-import.
  • Ensure that fields and values for single or multi-choice fields that you want to use in the platform are defined in your file. If you want to use custom fields, create them previously in the Field Editor.
