How to Batch Upload Contacts to NOAN Network

NOAN makes it easy to bring your contacts into your workspace—whether you’re importing a large list or just a handful of new connections. Here’s how to do it:

1. Uploading Contacts via CSV

Best for: Large batches of contacts

Step-by-Step

1. Prepare Your CSV File
   • Your CSV must have a column called name (this should include both first and last names in the same cell).
   • You can also include these optional columns:
     • alias
     • email
     • phone
     • website
     • company
     • role
     • memo (for any extra info you want to store about each contact)

Example:

1. Upload Your CSV
   • Go to the NOAN Network page.
   • Click the Upload CSV button in the top right corner.
   • Select your file and follow the prompts.
2. Review & Confirm
   • NOAN will process your file and show you a preview.
   • Confirm the import to add your contacts.

Note:  

• You can’t batch add tags during CSV upload.  
• To add tags, see the “Tagging Contacts” section below.

2. Batch Upload via the Assistant

Best for: Small batches or when you want to add tags at the same time

Step-by-Step

1. Prepare Your List
   • Have your list of names and emails ready (you can include other details if you like).
2. Ask the Assistant
   • In your NOAN workspace, tell the assistant:
     “I have a list of names and emails I want to batch upload as contacts.”
   • Paste your list when prompted.
3. Add Tags (Optional)
   • If you want to tag these contacts, tell the assistant which tag to use.
   • If the tag doesn’t exist, ask the assistant to create it and assign it during upload.

3. Tagging Contacts After Upload

• CSV Upload:
  You can’t batch add tags during the CSV upload, but you can ask the assistant to tag contacts after they’re imported.
  Example: “Tag all contacts with the memo ‘VIP customer’ as ‘VIP’.”
• Assistant Upload:
  The assistant can add tags as part of the upload process for small batches.

Tips & Possibilities

• Use the memo column for any extra info you want to store about a contact.
• If you need to organize or sort contacts by tags after upload, just ask the assistant.
• For ongoing imports, keep your CSV template handy and update as needed.
