There are three ways to import your contacts into Getresponse. The first is to import them from a file, and the second is to import them from another email marketing platform (like Activecampaign or Aweber) or service (like Google Docs or Salesforce). The third option is to add contacts one by one, manually.

Option 1: Importing contacts from a file

To import your contacts from a file, you’ll need to export them from your current email service as a CSV file. Then, you can upload the CSV file to Getresponse and it will automatically import your contacts.

Note: Getresponse supports the following file types: .XLS up to 10 MB and .CSV, .TXT, .VCF, .XLSX, .ODS up to 50 MB.

Once you have exported your contacts list into a CSV file, follow these steps to import them into Getresponse:

1. Log into your Getresponse account and click on the Contacts tab.
2. Click on the ‘Add Contacts’ button, and select “Upload a file” under “How do you want to add contacts”?
3. Select the CSV file you wish to upload, then click Open.
4. Map the fields in your CSV file to the corresponding fields in Getresponse.
5. Select whether you want to import all contacts or only those who are not already on your list.
6. Click Import and wait for the process to finish. Depending on your list size, you may need to wait a few minutes until the import is complete.

Option 2: Importing contacts from another email marketing platform or service

To import your contacts from another email marketing platform or service, you’ll need to set up a connection between Getresponse and that service then you can easily import your contacts from that service. You can also migrate your list from another email marketing platform like AWeber or Activecampaign directly into Getresponse.

Currently, you can import contacts by importing Getresponse to these services: Zendesk, Highrise, Magento, Salesforce, Google Docs, Google Contacts, Formstack, and FreshBooks.

Additionally, Getresponse supports the following sources for list migration: ActiveCampaign, AWeber, MailChimp, and Constant Contact.

Option 3: Adding contacts manually one-by-one

There are a few reasons you might want to add contacts manually one by one rather than importing them from a file or list. Maybe you only have a handful of contacts, or maybe you want to take the time to personalize each contact’s information before adding them all at once. Either way, here’s how to do it:

1. Log in to your GetResponse account and click “Contacts” in the top navigation bar.
2. Click the “Add Contact” button in the top right corner.
3. Under “How do you want to add contacts?”, select “One by one, manually”.
4. Enter the contact’s information (Name and email address) in the fields that appear.
5. If you wish, you can also assign custom fields to the contact by clicking on “Assign custom field” and selecting from one of your custom fields, for example, “Company”, “Address”, “Phone number, ..etc
6. Click Save changes when you’re finished.
7. Repeat steps 3-4 for each additional contact you want to add.

Under the “Contacts” > “Lists” tab, you can add your contacts and create segments. And in the “Email marketing” tab, you can create and manage your email campaigns.

If you’re new to marketing automation, the process can seem daunting. But with Getresponse’s easy-to-use workflow builder, you can create a sophisticated marketing automation campaign in no time. Marketing automation is crucial to help you automate your marketing for your new and existing prospects without having to send emails manually.

Here’s how to create a marketing automation workflow:

1. First, decide what would trigger your automation workflow. Do you want people to receive your email when they signup to a list? Register for a webinar? or Make a purchase?. A Trigger can be “a form subscription”, “Purchase made”, “Link Clicked”, “Message Sent”..etc. These are just a few examples of triggers that you can use in the Getresponse automation workflows.
2. Second, decide what action you want to take when your prospects meet the trigger conditions. For example, when people subscribe to your list (trigger), send them a welcome email (action).
3. To create the workflow, go to “Automation” and click “Create Workflow”.
4. Select whether you want to use one of the predesigned workflow templates or create a new one from scratch.
5. Add your trigger (for example “Subscribe to a list”) by selecting from the available triggers in the drag-and-drop workflow builder. And select the list that we created in Step 2.
6. Select your action (for example “Send a message”) by selecting from the available actions on the drag-and-drop workflow builder. And select the email that we created in Step 3.
7. Connect the trigger and action blocks by dragging and dropping the connecting lines on the workflow builder.
8. Click “Save and Publish”. Your workflow is now ready, make sure you test it to ensure that it was set up correctly.
