CSV File Format Example:
The Messaging ID or Contact ID is a crucial field when the Update Existing Contacts setting is enabled. In this case, the Messaging ID or Contact ID is required to correctly identify and update the existing contact information. However, if the Update Existing Contacts setting is disabled, the Messaging ID is not mandatory and can be omitted.
Here is an example table that includes the Messaging ID, First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, and Email:
Messaging ID |
First Name |
Last Name |
Phone Number |
