To import a list of contacts, select the Clients tab from the main navigation menu in the MLS, then select Address Book. Once you are on the Address Book page, select the Import Contacts option. 

1. Create CSV File: A comma-separated values (CSV) file is required to import your contacts into the MLS. The email providers or sources listed below all have features which allow you to export your contacts from that provider into a CSV file, which you can then save on your computer.

Tip: If you need assistance with exporting your contacts, please click here for instructions on how to export your contacts into a CSV file from one of the sources listed below, or click here if you do not use one of the providers below and need instructions on creating a custom CSV file.

2. Select Source: Once you have saved the CSV file on your computer, click the icon of the source that you used to export or create the CSV file. Then, a dialog box or window will appear that will prompt you to select the CSV file that you created which you saved on your computer. Select the CSV file that you created in Step 1 that is saved on your computer and then click Open.

3. Import CSV File: Click the Import button to import your contacts into the MLS.

When the import is complete, your results will be displayed. Duplicates indicate contacts with an email address already in your address book while Failed imports indicate issues like incorrect formatting. If you encountered a problem, select View Contact Issues Report for more information.
