How do i import a csv file into google mail
You can't directly import a CSV file into Google Mail (Gmail). However, you can use a workaround to import contacts from a CSV file into Gmail using the following methods:
Method 1: Using Google Contacts
- Go to Google Contacts (contacts.google.com).
- Click on the "Import" button at the top right corner.
- Select "CSV" as the file type.
- Choose the CSV file you want to import.
- Map the CSV columns to the corresponding fields in Google Contacts (e.g., First name, Last name, Email).
- Click "Import" to start the import process.
Method 2: Using a third-party add-on
- Install the "CSV to Gmail Contacts" add-on from the Chrome Web Store.
- Go to the add-on's settings page and select the CSV file you want to import.
- Map the CSV columns to the corresponding fields in Gmail (e.g., First name, Last name, Email).
- Click "Import" to start the import process.
Method 3: Using a script
- Create a Google Apps Script project in your Google Drive.
- Create a new script and paste the following code:
function importCSV() { var csvFile = DriveApp.getFilesByName("your_csv_file.csv").next(); var csvData = csvFile.getBlob().getText(); var contacts = []; var rows = csvData.split("\n"); for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) { var row = rows[i].split(","); var contact = { "name": row[0] + " " + row[1], "email": row[2] }; contacts.push(contact); } var contactList = ContactsApp.createContactList(); for (var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) { var contact = contacts[i]; var contactEntry = ContactsApp.createContact(contact.name, contact.email); contactList.addContact(contactEntry); } }
- Replace "your_csv_file.csv" with the actual name of your CSV file.
- Run the script by clicking the "Run" button or pressing Ctrl+Enter.
- The script will import the contacts from the CSV file into your Gmail contacts.
Note: Make sure to adjust the script to match the structure of your CSV file.
