Hello, I have a long list of email addresses that I need to set to “Do not contact”. Currently I have to paste a single email address in the search bar of the contacs section, wait about 20 seconds until the contact is shown and set the contact to “Do not contact”. Is it somehow possible to do this faster? I tried searching for multiple email addresses at once by using the search parameter “OR”, but it didn’t work. ---

You can also create a csv, with column A being the email, column B boing the DNC value. If your list only contains DNC contact, then everyone would have the value 1. Once you import the contacts you can find DNC in the dropdown list during import at the step when you pair import columns to custom fields. ---
