You'll see the main screen with all the existing lists in your account ## Step 2 – Create an empty list 1. Click **New list** 2. Fill in the fields: - **Listname **– a descriptive name for the list (up to 100 characters). E.g. “Enterprise Leads SP” - **Type** – select **Contact** or **Company**, depending on the type of data the list will hold - **Description** – optional. Describe the list's purpose 3. Click **Create** 4. The list is created with the **Ready** status and shows up on the main Lists screen. Tip After creating the empty list, you can add contacts manually, import via CSV or fill it from Search results. ## Step 3 – Import contacts via CSV (optional) If you already have a contact database in a spreadsheet, you can import it directly: 1. **Open the list** - Click the name of the list you just created to open its settings. 2. **Find the import option** - Look for the **“Import/Export”** button (at the top of the screen). 3. **Choose the import type** - Select the **“Import CSV”** option 4. **Upload the file (CSV)** - Drag and drop the file into the area shown **or** click to select it. - File requirements: - Format: .csv - Maximum size: **10 MB** - Up to **1,000 rows per import** 5. **Review the field mapping** - Nuvia tries to map the columns automatically. Check and adjust if needed: - **Phone**: telefone, celular, phone, whatsapp - **Name**: nome, name, contato - **Email**: email, mail - **LinkedIn**: linkedin, linkedinurl 6. **Confirm the import** - Review everything and finish by clicking **confirm**. ## Automatic deduplication Nuvia deduplicates contacts automatically using the following priority: Record typeDeduplication order Contacts Phone > Email > LinkedIn (Name isn't used) Companies Single field chosen in **Link Company** (Domain, Name or CNPJ) ## Create a list from Search If you prefer, you can create a list straight from the search engine results: 1.

Select the contacts you want by checking the boxes 4. Click **Actions** 5. Select **Create list** (for a new list) 6. If you're creating a new list, fill in the name (up to 100 characters) and description (optional) 7. Click **Confirm** ## Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions **What's the contact limit per list?** There's no contact limit per list. The limit is on CSV import, which accepts up to 1,000 rows per import and files up to 10 MB. For larger lists, run multiple imports. **Can I add contacts to a list that's already linked to a campaign?** Yes. Lists aren't locked when they're linked to a campaign. You can keep adding or removing contacts. **Is the list updated automatically?** No. Lists in Nuvia are static. New contacts that match the search criteria used to create the list aren't added automatically. To update it, add the new contacts manually or through a new import. **Can I remove a contact from a list?** Yes. With the list open, hover over the contact and click the **⋯** icon (three dots). Select **Remove**. This removes the contact only from the list, not from the platform. **Which field is required to create a contact?** For contacts, the only required field is **Name**. For companies, it's also **Name**. However, to use the contact in WhatsApp campaigns, the **Phone** field must be filled in. Likewise, for LinkedIn campaigns, the **LinkedIn** field must be filled in.
