## How to Import Contacts

Follow the steps below to import up to **7,000 contact records** at a time using a standard CSV file.

### Step 1: Select the File to Import

[Section titled “Step 1: Select the File to Import”](#step-1-select-the-file-to-import)

1. Navigate to **Contacts** from the left navigation menu.

Once your CSV upload is complete, OnceHub automatically matches your **CSV columns** to **Contact Properties** based on the column headers. If a column is not matched properly, select the appropriate contact property from the dropdown or create a new contact property.

### Step 3: Start the Import

[Section titled “Step 3: Start the Import”](#step-3-start-the-import)

Click **Start Import** from the bottom right corner to begin importing your records.

Note

If a contact record already exists in OnceHub, the imported information updates the existing contact record instead of creating a duplicate record.
