Hi!

Recently starting using Mautic, we are in the process of adding legacy “contacts” to the platform and have a list of contacts who are on our legacy DNC list. We would like to imort these contacts as “Do Not contact” but having trouble.

I am not sure if I am missing something, but would really appreciate some help on the matter.

Is is possible to import a list of legacy DNC as D" Do Not Contact" without having to go through the contacts once they are in Mautic and marking them as DNC?

Thanks in advance
