  5. Click Next to move to mapping.
  6. In Step 2, map your CSV's email column to the Email Address field in Delivra.
    • Tip: The system may automatically recognize and map standard fields.
  7. In Step 3, adjust the import settings.
    • Locate the Tags section and select the tag you want to assign the imported contacts to.
  8. Click Import to complete the process.

Best Practices and Tips
