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

- Account: Account Name
- Contact: Email
- Contact: Last Name
- Contact: First Name
- Campaign Member: Campaign ID
- Campaign Member: Status

![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 values that are already in 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. From the campaign detail page, select **Manage Members** | **Add Members - Import File**.
    
    The Data Import Wizard appears.
2. Select **Accounts and Contacts**, then select **Add new and update existing records**.
3. Set Match Contact by to **Email**.
4. Set Match Account by to **Account Name and Account Site**.
5. Select Assign contacts to campaigns.
6. Select the CSV file that contains your import data, and click **Next**.
7. Map column headers from your CSV file to these fields.
    
    - Account: Account Name
    - Contact: Email
    - Contact: Last Name
    - Contact: First Name
    - Campaign Member: Campaign ID
    - Campaign Member: Status
8. Click **Next**.
9. 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.
