How to import your contact and do-not-contact lists from CSV with Franco

Bring existing spreadsheets into Franco and make sure suppressed addresses and domains are never emailed.

Short answer: Get a template with franco import --template --kind contacts > contacts.csv; then Validate with franco import contacts.csv --kind contacts --dry-run; nothing is written; import and verify emails with franco import contacts.csv --kind contacts --verify. All steps.

Who it is forA sales lead moving an existing prospect spreadsheet and do-not-contact list into an automated tool.

The problemTyping contacts in one by one is slow, and a missed opt-out list can send mail to people who asked not to hear from you.

The outcomeContacts imported and checked row by row, with suppressions loaded before any campaign runs.

What you need first

  • Python 3.11 or newer
  • Claude Code logged in on a Pro or Max plan, or an opt-in Codex runtime on a ChatGPT plan
  • A mailbox to send from (Google Workspace recommended) and email verifier keys
  • Chromium, installed with franco install, for LinkedIn and JavaScript-heavy sites

Steps

  1. Get a template with franco import --template --kind contacts > contacts.csv
  2. Validate with franco import contacts.csv --kind contacts --dry-run; nothing is written
  3. Import and verify emails with franco import contacts.csv --kind contacts --verify
  4. Load your do-not-contact list with franco suppress import do_not_contact.csv
  5. Or use the Import CSV panel on the dashboard's Contacts tab

Prompt for your agent

Import <contacts.csv> into GortexAI/franco as contacts with a dry run first, report every rejected row and its reason, then load <do_not_contact.csv> as suppressions before importing for real.

Caveat. --verify spends one verification credit per address that is not already marked verified.
