If you're exporting your mailing list from existing platforms, bringing them here is very simple. It's a one click import.

Import into Igloos

In your workspace, open Settings and find the Subscribers card, then upload the CSV. If you don't have a CSV but have emails you can manually add them one by one too.

What maps over

Each column of your CSV becomes one field on the reader:

What maps over

CSV columnRequiredWhat happens
Email (or Email address)YesBecomes the subscriber address — header matching ignores capitalization
NameNoKept as the reader's name; very long names are shortened, not dropped
Start dateNoBecomes each reader's subscribed date
StatusNoUnsubscribed readers stay unsubscribed; without a status column, everyone arrives subscribed
How each CSV column maps on import: Email required, Name, Start date and Status optional, with what happens to each.

How errors are handled

Rows sharing an email collapse to the last row. Rows without a valid email are skipped and counted in the result. A file with no Email column is rejected before anything is written.

What does not import

The import covers subscribers only. Posts, images and layout do not transfer. Bring any content in yourself.

After the import

Add a Newsletter signup block to your home page or posts so new readers can join. Each post announces itself to your subscribers once, on first publish.
