Importing recipients through copy and paste

Manual copying and pasting is only suitable for small datasets. For large datasets, use the import wizard in Inxmail Professional.

Note: The full range of options to import the Tracking permission column are only available when using the import wizard. We recommend using the import wizard in Inxmail Professional if you wish to import person-based tracking details from an external data source.

Step by step

Proceed as follows to import recipients through copy and paste:

  1. In your source file (for example, Microsoft Excel or Access file), select the recipient data you wish to import.

    Make sure that an email address is included per recipient data record. In addition, the recipient data (to be allocated to the columns) must be separated by a separator (for example, tab, comma or space).

  2. Copy the selected data using the CTRL + C shortcut key.
  3. Open the relevant recipient table.
  4. Click in any cell of the last row in the recipient table (this row is marked with an asterisk).

  5. Paste the data using the CTRL + V shortcut key.

    A message box appears asking whether you want to open the Import recipients dialog box. Here you will be supported in assigning the data to recipient table columns.

  6. Make your settings as appropriate in the dialog box.
  • The recipient data that has been imported through copy and paste appears in the recipient table. If you created the data in the recipient table of a mailing list, it will be automatically created in the global recipient table and displayed in the current mailing list.
