Move email contact data from MailChimp

1. In your MailChimp account, enter the ‘Audience’ menu.
2. Select View Contact.
3. Click Export Audience.
4. Wait for the download process. When finished, you will receive a file with a .CSV format. This file will be used to import data in the MTARGET account.

1. Enter the Contact Book menu.
2. Then click the Contact Book dropdown button, then select Import Contact.
3. Upload the contact file in .CSV format
4. Make sure the data format in your file is the way you want it, or you can download our contact sample to check whether the email data format is correct. Then click the checklist for data import approval.
5. The system will check the data first.
6. If there is confirmation that the data is valid, then the data is ready to be imported into your MTARGET account. Don’t forget, label it so that you can more easily send to certain contacts.

Please note, that if you import a contact that exceeds the quota provided, then the contact will only partially enter the full quota. You can also update contact information by re-importing without reducing your contact quota.
