Skip importing duplicates
Sending the same message to a contact multiple times could get you reported for spam, which lowers your quality rating. Depending on your preference, you have the option to choose not to import duplicates. This merge option compares the data being imported with existing records and excludes duplicates.
For example:
List A:
| Contact | Phone Number | First Name | Last Name | City |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contact 1 | +447891234123 | John | Smith | London |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contact 2 | +447891234456 | Agatha | Christie | Bangalore |
| Contact 3 | +447891234789 | Matt | Jones | Malvern |
