What is it?
A new type of supporter meant for marketing purposes—ideal for email blasts or newsletters—without syncing them to your CRM or counting them toward your supporter limits.
How to Use:
-
Go to Supporters > Import.
-
Choose the option to Import or Update Contacts.
-
Upload your CSV with standard contact fields (name, email, etc.).
- Create a column in your CSV with the value "1".
- When creating mapping rules, map the value "1" to "Marketing Contact" to indicate as "True."
-
These contacts will now appear in your Supporter list but will not sync to Salesforce or count toward limits.
-
If a marketing contact makes a donation, they’re automatically converted to a standard supporter.
When to Use:
-
Importing event attendee lists, newsletter sign-ups, or prospect leads.
-
You want to email them but don’t want to clutter your CRM.
