Build your contact list

How will imported data appear in Zeffy?

Contact Imports

Where can I see imported contacts?

  • Imported contacts will appear under your "Contacts" tab in your dashboard

  • Each imported contact will have an associated profile page where all the information you provided during import will be pre-filled

  • You can view and access individual contact profiles by clicking on their name in the Contacts list

Important things to know about contact display:

  • Email is the primary identifier for contacts in Zeffy

  • If a contact has multiple email addresses, they will have multiple contact pages

  • If multiple contacts share the same email address, only one name will be chosen as the primary name for that contact

  • If a contact is imported without an email and later makes a payment using an email address, they will have two separate contact pages

Editing contact information:

  • Most contact information can be edited directly on the contact page after import

  • Go to "Contacts" > Select the contact > Edit their information as needed

  • Note: The contact's language preference cannot be edited once imported (defaults to English if left blank)

Organizing imported contacts:

  • Use the "Note" column during import to add specific identifiers

  • Search for contacts with specific notes using the search bar at the top of the Contacts page

  • Tag contacts after import to group them for easier management

  • Use filters to segment and organize your contacts based on various criteria

Payment Imports

Where can I see imported payments?

  • Imported payments will appear in the "Payments" section of your dashboard

  • Each payment will be listed with its associated transaction details

  • Payments will be linked to contact profiles automatically (by association with the contact's email address)

Important things to know about payment display:

  • Each imported payment automatically creates or updates a contact profile

  • If a contact already exists with the same email address, the imported payment will be associated with that existing contact

  • Payment details cannot be edited once imported

  • Imported payments can be deleted individually from the Payments section

Viewing payment history:

  • All imported payments will be integrated with your regular payment history

  • Use filters to sort and view imported payments

  • Access payment details by clicking on individual transactions
