This article will dive into the various methods you can use for adding contacts or contact collection. If you have any questions that this article cannot answer, don't hesitate to contact a support rep.  ### Uploading contacts using a CSV spreadsheet This is the primary and most popular method for uploading contacts. To upload contacts via a CSV you must first make sure your CSV is formatted correctly. For formatting instructions download our [example file.](https://respondflow-static.s3.amazonaws.com/examples/CSV+Example+File+-+Sheet1.csv) Once you are on the *Contacts* page you will select "actions" and then click "upload contacts". This will prompt you to choose a list. If you do not choose a specific list (you can also [create a new one](https://6521204.hs-sites.com/en/knowledge/how-to-create-a-contact-list?hsLang=en)) then your contacts will only be uploaded into the ALL list. Once you have selected your list you will choose *Upload CSV*, then drag and drop or select your file and hit *Submit. Voila! * You have successfully uploaded your contacts.  ![Screen Shot 2021-04-23 at 1.29.35 PM](https://sales.textvolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202021-04-23%20at%201.29.35%20PM.png?width=688&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-04-23%20at%201.29.35%20PM.png) ### **External Signup Link** If you have already uploaded a CSV of your current contacts and want to continue increasing subscriber count, then the External Signup Link is for you!!
