Here is how to bulk import subscribers to your FeedsyList. This can be done at any time.
Name and file format
You will need an Excel or CSV file with at least a column each for:
- First Name (single name only) - call it FIRST NAME
- Last Name (optional) - call it LAST NAME
- or combine "1" and "2" into a single First Last Name column (but not Last, First) - call it FULL NAME
- Email Address (one per name) - call it EMAIL ADDRESS
Note: If you require Custom First Name then you will be duplicating the FIRST NAME column and calling it CUSTOM FIRST NAME.
Open the FeedsyMailHQ
- From your FeedsyCentre Dashboard, click the blue button GO TO HQ
- From anywhere in your FeedsyCentre, click the side menu FeedsyMailHQ

Assign Fields
- Select the correct "Belongs to ..." in the list, this is normally:
- FIRST NAME - belongs to - First name
- LAST NAME - belongs to - Last name
- EMAIL ADDRESS - belongs to - Email address
- Note: If you require Custom First Name then CUSTOM FIRST NAME - belongs to - Custom First Name
- Note: If your spreadsheet has First Last Name combined then FULL NAME column - belongs to - Full Name.
- Or leave as "Nothing (skip)" if you do not want to import that info
- Finish adding subscribers
