Before you begin, make sure that your import file is in CSV format and contains values for these fields.

- Account: Salesforce ID
- Contact: Salesforce ID

![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_core-264-0-0-production-enus/3c339c40-ca6c-49ba-9c6e-684be7a55f80/images/icon_tip.png)

Tip To obtain Salesforce IDs or other values from your org, run reports and then export the report data.

These steps describe one recommended method of importing data. You can import data into Salesforce fields that aren’t listed here. You can also customize your import by using other options that appear in the Data Import Wizard.

1. If you’re using Lightning Experience, from the campaign members related list, select **Import Leads and Contacts**. If you’re using Salesforce Classic, from the campaign detail page, select **Manage Members** | **Add Members - Import File**.
    
    The Data Import Wizard appears.
2. Select **Accounts and Contacts**, then select **Update existing records**.
3. Set Match Contact by to **Salesforce.com ID**.
4. Set Match Account by to **Salesforce.com ID**.
5. Select the CSV file that contains your import data, and click **Next**.
6. Map column headers from your CSV file to the Account: Salesforce ID and Contact: Salesforce ID fields.
7. Click **Next**.
8. Review the import settings, and then click **Start Import**.

When we finish importing your data, we notify you by email. Review the results and resolve any errors that occurred. A separate email notifies you of campaign member job results.
