How to Add Contacts

We provide three ways to add opted-in contacts to your Age Texting account:

  1. Upload a List

  2. Adding Individual Contacts (one by one)

  3. Integrations with ecommerce, POS, and CRM software


Please note that contacts must be opted into your text list to send them text messages. Learn more about obtaining opt-in consent in this quick guide.


To get started for any of the three methods, click Subscribers on the left navigation panel, select an existing group or Create a Group.

How to Upload a List of Opted-in Subscribers

Before you upload a spreadsheet, please note that it must be in a .CSV file format, and all phone numbers should have a valid, 10-digit U.S. or Canadian mobile number.


Tip: The system will scrub or remove invalid numbers and duplicates automatically if they do not conform. If a contact is uploaded to multiple groups, the subscriber will still only receive one message from the campaign sent to all of those groups at once. Parentheses and dashes are safe to upload.


Step 1: Ensure your .CSV file is correctly formatted.
