Uploading prospect lists is a critical part of setting up your campaigns, but several common issues can interfere with the process. Here’s how to navigate and resolve them:
1. Missing Data
- Issue: A "Missing Data" error message may appear if the format is incorrect, multiple email addresses are included in one field, or the list contains unsupported special characters.
- Solution: Ensure that your list is correctly formatted, with each email address in a separate field and free of unsupported special characters.
2. List Size Too Large
- Issue: Uploading a list that requires over 2,000 credits for a single operation will cause an error.
- Solution: We recommend uploading approximately 100, but no more than 200 leads at a time.
3. Hints for a Smooth Upload
- Use a Template: If you're creating the list manually, use our template to ensure it meets the required format.
- Avoid Common Issues: Ensure files have the correct characters and format to avoid upload failures. Remove any cell coloring, bolding, or other formatting.
- Use CSV format instead of XLSX: Before uploading your prospect list to AI Piping, ensure it is in CSV format rather than XLSX.
Here’s how to export your data from Excel as a CSV:
- Open your Excel file.
- Click on “File” in the top left corner.
- Select “Save As”.
- Choose the location where you want to save the file.
- In the “Save as type” dropdown menu, select “CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv)”.
- Click “Save”.
