Adding a new contact or contact file

If you have new contacts you can upload new contact files in the exact same manner as the first. They will be added to your database.

However, it should be noted that if the data in your new file conflicts with that of in the existing file; your old data will be over-written with the new.

To prevent this you can merge your data files:

If duplicates present themselves you can use the de-duplication tool to remove those contacts.

If you have any questions you can message use in app or email support@ecanvasser.com
