Mac Address Book: Add contacts

To get your contacts from the Mac Address Book or Contacts app into your subscribers, you'll first need to save them in a VCF, or vCard File, on your computer. Then you can import this file into your Email Marketing account.

Export vCard from Address Book or Contacts app

  1. You'll need to have the contacts that you want to import in their own group. You can create a new group in your Address Book, if you need to, by selecting File and then New Group.
  2. On the File menu choose New Group.

  3. Drag contacts from your list on the right into that new group in the left sidebar to add them.
  4. Drag contact onto group to add.

  5. Select the group in the left sidebar. Then:
    • Drag the group to your computer's desktop to create a single VCF containing all your contacts for that group
    • Or right-click, ctrl+click, or two-finger-click on the group and choose Export group vCard... and save the VCF wherever you want.
    • Choose export from the alternate click menu on the group.

  2. Click on Add Contacts to reveal the import options.

  5. Click Add Contacts, and you're done! If you created more than one group VCF, repeat these steps to upload each one.
