What format should the file be in?
Following are the approved file types:
| File Types | Extension |
| Excel | .xlsx, .xls |
| CSV Raw Data | .csv |
| Text | .txt |
Your data in the file should confirm with any of the format option as below:
License Level: Professional
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| Email | | |
| Email | First Name | Last Name |
License Level: Corporate / Enterprise
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 6 | Column 7 | Column 8 | Column 9 | Column n |
| Email | Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 | Field5 | | | | |
| Email | First Name | Last Name | Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 | Field5 | | |
| Email | First Name | Last Name | Password | Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 | Field5 | |
| Email | Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 | Field5 | Field6 | Field7 | Field8 | Field(m). |
| Email | First Name | Last Name | Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 | Field5 | Field6 | Field(m). |

| Email | First Name | Last Name | Address Line1 | Line2 | City | State | Zip Code | | |
| Email | First Name | Last Name | Address Line1 | Line2 | City | State | Zip Code | Phone | IP Address |
Compliance format for the email address file:
- There should not be any spaces in the email address field
- The email address should be in plain English. The FIRST / LAST NAME variables and Custom Variables support multi-lingual characters.
- There should not be any Commas within the CSV / Excel file
I am trying to upload multilingual variables but they don't get uploaded properly.
When uploading multilingual variables make sure you use an excel file. A .csv file doesn't support multilingual characters.
