How to Add Contacts to a Campaign
Run outbound campaigns2 min readUpdated 2026-03-14
Import contacts into a Sales Dialer campaign from a CSV file, your CRM, or the API.
Method 1: CSV Upload
- During campaign creation, select Upload CSV.
- Drag and drop your file or browse to select it.
- Map CSV columns to Sales Dialer fields. Unmapped columns can be skipped or assigned to custom fields (Text, Number, Dropdown, or Link).
- Configure import settings:
- Import mode — "Create New & Update Existing" or "Create Only New" (phone number is the unique key)
- Country code — default for numbers without one
- Primary contact handling — use alternate numbers when primary is empty
- Save as default — reuse this mapping next time
- Finish setup and launch.
CSV requirements: E.164 phone format (include country code). Duplicate numbers import once. Empty phone rows are skipped.
Method 2: CRM Import
- During campaign creation, select Integrate with CRM.
- Choose your connected CRM, account, and list.
- Map CRM fields to Sales Dialer fields (same mapping flow as CSV).
- Configure settings and launch.
If your CRM isn't connected yet, click "Integrate with CRM" to set it up in JustCall's Integrations section first.
Method 3: API
Use the Sales Dialer API to add contacts programmatically. This is useful for automated pipelines or proprietary tools feeding contacts into campaigns.
Adding Contacts to a Running Campaign
For Dynamic Dialer campaigns, add contacts at any time without pausing — the dialer picks them up automatically. For Power and Predictive campaigns, add contacts before launch or during a pause.
