One of the different import options in Moosend lets you populate your email marketing email list using the Google Contacts Plugin. You can import your existing Google contacts to Moosend and transform them into your email recipients easily. 

Note: Another way to access this plug-in is through Integrations.

To import your Google contacts using the plugin:

  1. In the top navigation bar, hover your mouse over the Audience tab, and then click Email lists.NEWEmailList.png

  8. On the Data selection tab, select how you want to import your subscribers' data:
    • No, import everything - import all the fields in your list of subscribers.
    • Yes, I want to import from a list of filters - select which contact groups to import.NEWGoogledataselection.png
  9. If you have consent from an external source, select Yes, add them as verified, I do have consent from these members and click Next.
  10. On the Data Mapping tab, click each drop-down list and select the default fields or a custom field. If you want to map a specific column to a field, click the Map to drop-down list, then click the field to use, and click Next. 
    Note: When mapping your data to a custom field, you can select an existing custom field, or you can create a new custom field in each column.Snag_411253.png
  11. If you have not mapped all uploaded data to their corresponding fields, a pop-up message asks you to confirm that you want to ignore any unmapped columns. Click Ignore and continue.
  12. On the Notification tab, select your preferred import completion notification and click Import.NEWGoogleNotif.png
