Special notes about importing .CSV files to the Story by Story
web site
  • It is important to verify the "First Name," "Last Name" and "Email Address" fields are filled in correctly prior to uploading your contact list to the Story by Story web site. The import wizard will not import contacts that are missing required fields or have invalid email address formats.
  • If you see "0 accounts imported" although your import file does have records, you may have previously imported this file (the system detects duplicate records).
