What is CSV?

Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files are widely used to store and exchange tabular data in a plain-text format.

They are popular among businesses and individual consumers due to their simplicity and versatility. Our system accepts only data files in the .csv format as email lists, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility.

CSV files provide a convenient way to organize data in a structured manner. Each row in the file represents a record, while each column contains specific data attributes. This format allows for the inclusion of various types of information, such as email addresses, names, phone numbers, addresses, and additional custom fields relevant to the email marketing campaign.

When using our system, senders can upload their email lists in CSV format. Once the list is uploaded, it goes through a verification process to ensure data accuracy and eliminate any invalid or non-existent email addresses. This verification step is crucial for maintaining a high-quality and engaged subscriber base.

After a successful verification, senders can conveniently download their email lists in two different formats: the ‘Everything List’ or the ‘Safe List.’ The ‘Everything List’ typically includes all verified contacts from the uploaded CSV file. On the other hand, the ‘Safe List’ may exclude email addresses that have previously unsubscribed or resulted in email bounces. Both options allow senders to choose the appropriate list based on their specific campaign requirements.

To ensure smooth and efficient data transfer, the verified email lists are available for download in the .csv format within a compressed .zip file. This packaging ensures that the files can be easily downloaded, stored, and shared while also reducing the file size for faster transfers.

The .csv format’s simplicity and compatibility make it a preferred choice for integrating email lists with various email marketing platforms, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and spreadsheet applications. Businesses and individuals can seamlessly import or export their email lists by utilizing this format, enabling effective segmentation, personalization, and targeted communication with their subscribers.
