CSV file formats for importing contacts
In certain circumstances you may wish to manually generate a CSV file of contacts to import to your FreeAgent account. Here's how to do that.
How to format your CSV file
First, create a new spreadsheet in your chosen spreadsheet software, like Excel or Google Sheets. Next, enter these 14 heading in the top row:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Company
- E-mail Address
- E-mail 2 Address
- Business Street
- Business Street 2
- Business Street 3
- Business City
- Business State
- Business Postal Code
- Business Country
- Business Phone
- Mobile Phone
- Please note that these headings must be entered exactly as written above -
You don't need to include content for every one of these fields - the only compulsory fields are either First Name and Last Name, or Company. When you're finished, export your file as a CSV file.
Your finished file will look something like this.
