Hi all,  
  
  
  
How can i import existing leads from other applications into Mautic without it triggering some e-mails?  
  
  
  
I have a workflow for my newsletter. When the opt-in the get on my list. When they are on my list they get a welcome email.  
  
  
  
I have some existing leads in another tool. I want to add them to Mautic but i do not want to receive that welcome email (that’s just weird)  
  
  
  
I hope some one can help me out ![:)]( ":)")

You can import leads from a CSV file. The import button is in the Lead Manager. But I don’t know if they receive the welcome email or not. Depends on your configuration.
