Send to a List

Works on:📸 Instagram

Sometimes the people you want to message aren't in your CRM yet: a list from an event, a spreadsheet from a partner, an export from another tool. Send to a List messages everyone on a CSV or Excel file without adding them to a folder first. It's part of Schedule Messages on the Platinum plan.

Sending to an imported list​

  1. Open Schedule Messages (or IG Schedule Messages) and create a campaign.
  2. In the Audience step, switch to An imported list.
  3. Upload a CSV, Excel or XLSX file with profile links. The name and profile columns are found for you.
  4. The list is checked and de-duplicated before anything sends, and you see exactly who will receive the message.
  5. Write your message. Use {name} and any column from your file as a merge tag, for example {company}. Add message variations so no two people get identical text.
  6. Choose a throttle preset, a daily cap and warm-up, then launch.

Staying safe​

  • Messages go out one at a time, spaced apart, inside the daily cap you set.
  • If the platform starts refusing messages, the campaign pauses itself.
  • Pause or resume the campaign whenever you like.

Want to send friend requests to a list instead? Use Bulk Friend Requests, which takes the same kind of file.

Next Steps: Turn the people who reply into leads with Folders.
