Overview
Subscribers are the people who will receive your newsletters via email. You can import subscribers and assign them to one or more lists. You can import subscribers:
- in bulk using a CSV file
- one at a time
1. Open the Subscribers Panel
- From the Dashboard, click Subscribers in the left-hand menu.
- Click Add Subscribers to begin the import process.
- Choose to Add multiple subscribers to import a CSV or Add a single subscriber to add subscribers one at a time.
Add multiple subscribers
Tips
- Always clean your CSV before uploading (remove duplicates, ensure emails are valid).
- Add subscribers to specific lists to make sending targeted newsletters easier.
2. Choose Subscriber Lists
- Select one or more lists from the List menu.
- If you haven’t created a list yet, click New List, give it a name, and select it.
📌 Lists help you segment your audience (e.g., Early Childhood, Sports Program, Volunteers).
3. Upload Your CSV File
- Click Import Subscribers.
- Select the CSV file from your computer.
- Your CSV should include the following columns:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email Address
Each row in the CSV represents one subscriber.
4. Preview and Map Fields
Once uploaded, Bundlebird will show you a preview of your file:
- Check that the columns look correct.
- Click Next to map the fields.
- Confirm which columns in your CSV match:
- Email Address
- First Name
- Last Name
Bundlebird will try to auto-detect these, but you can manually adjust if needed.
5. Review and Fix Errors (If Any)
After mapping, you’ll see a data verification screen:
- Bundlebird will flag:
- Missing email addresses
- Invalid formats
- Duplicates
You must fix all errors before continuing. You can:
- Edit your CSV file and re-upload it, or
- Remove problematic rows from the import.
6. Final Import and Confirmation
Once verified:
- Click Submit to begin processing your data.
- Don’t close your browser — this may take a few minutes for large lists.
- When processing completes, you’ll return to the Add Subscribers screen.
Bundlebird will show:
- The number of new subscribers ready to be added.
- Any duplicates that were skipped.
- Click Add Subscribers to finish the process. Your contacts will now be saved and assigned to the selected list(s).
Add a single subscriber
- The Add subscribers dialogue defaults to Add multiple subscribers. Choose Add a single subscriber from the bottom of the dialogue.
- Fill in the subscribers email. Note: subscriber first name and last name are optional.
- Add the subscriber to one or more lists with the Add subscriber to lists drop down.
- Click Add subscriber.
