Step 4: Add Subscribers to Your List

With a label ready, itโ€™s time to add contacts. 

SendWo offers two options: 

  1. Add them manually one by one
  2. Bulk import via CSV. 

Both options are found under the Options menu in the Subscriber Manager.

1. Click the Options button above your subscriber list. This opens a dropdown menu with various tasks.

 Click the Options button

2. Option A โ€“ Manual Entry: Select Create Subscribers. A form will pop up with the fields Name and Phone Number. Fill it in and click Save. Youโ€™ll see a success message, and that contact will be added to your list under the chosen label (if you assigned one later).

Step 5: Verify Your Subscriber List

After importing, itโ€™s wise to confirm if the contacts were added correctly. In Subscriber Manager, use the Select Label dropdown to filter contacts by your new label. Choose the label you created to see only those contacts. This lets you easily verify that all intended subscribers appear under that label. 

Verify Your Subscriber List

Adding contacts to SendWo is a straightforward process that unlocks powerful WhatsApp marketing. Whether you target to add leads one at a time or bulk upload an entire CSV, SendWoโ€™s Subscriber Manager streamlines it all with ease.

1. What file format does SendWo require for importing contacts?

SendWo uses a standard CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file for bulk contact import. Ensure your CSV has clear column headers (for example, Name and Phone Number) and that phone numbers are in international format. You can download the Sample CSV from the import dialog to see the exact format required.

2. Can I import contacts from Google Sheets instead of a CSV?

Yes. SendWo added Google Sheets integration. You can connect your Google account in the Settings > Google Sheets section and import contacts directly from a sheet. When importing from Sheets, youโ€™ll map the sheetโ€™s columns (like โ€œPhone Numberโ€ and โ€œNameโ€) to SendWoโ€™s fields, and then finalize the import. This works similarly to the CSV import.

3. What is the Subscriber Manager in SendWo?

The Subscriber Manager is SendWoโ€™s built-in contact CRM for WhatsApp. It helps you organize and segment your audience. It is โ€œdesigned to efficiently handle and organize WhatsApp contacts and subscribers,โ€ making it easy to manage lists and send personalized campaigns.
