  8. Depending on the type of DNC list, in the DNC List Columns section, do one of the following: 
    • Select a phone number column from the DNC Phone Columns box. Repeat to select other DNC telephone number columns in the .csv file.
    • Select an email address column from the DNC Email Columns box. Repeat to select other DNC email address columns in the .csv file.
    • Select a custom value column from the DNC Upload Columns box. Repeat to select other DNC custom columns in the .csv file.
  9. If present in the .csv file, select a DNC Expiration Column.
  10. Click Save. While records upload, progress and error indicators appear next to the DNC name on the Lists page.

Notes:
  • At import time, the system automatically modifies telephone numbers to normalize dots and dashes.
  • For the system to accurately block phone numbers in the Do Not Contact list, the format must match the format used in contact lists. For example, if the phone numbers in the contact lists are formatted with the prefix +1, you must use the same format in the DNC entry, +1. If the phone numbers appear in 10-digit format without the prefix, for example 8005551212, the DNC entry must match that format, 8005551212.
