Automatic import after email sync

If you have just connected your email account, Klipy automatically starts importing contacts from your last 3 months of email conversations. You don't need to take any additional steps for this initial import.

To import contacts from a different time period or source, continue reading this guide.

Before you start

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • Connected your main business email account with Klipy

  • Choose your import source:

    • Email conversations: Import contacts from your recent email conversations (Recommended)

    • Saved contacts: Import contacts from your saved contacts or address book

Step 1: Navigate to import page

Go to People or Companies page, and click Import / Export at the top right corner.

Step 2: Select your preferred import source

Click Import button next to the source you want to use.

Step 3: Select your preferred import range

Depending on the subscription tier you have, you will see different import range options.

Select the range you want to import, then click Continue.
