Open the Contacts tab. Each row is one person. Fill the columns with dark headers; SheetBlast fills the grey ones.
| Column | Required? | Example / notes |
|---|---|---|
email | Yes | [email protected] |
sequence | Yes | Must match a name in the Sequences tab, e.g. intro |
first_name | Recommended | Ann |
last_name | Optional | Lee |
company | Optional | Acme |
from_email | Optional | Which sender to use. Empty = first enabled sender; it’s then locked to that row so all follow-ups come from the same address. |
timezone | Optional | e.g. Europe/London, America/New_York. The send window follows the recipient’s time. A misspelt timezone is marked ERROR, never guessed. |
custom1, custom2 | Optional | Anything you want to merge into the email, e.g. a personal first line |
Pasting a list from a CSV or another sheet
- Paste starting in the first empty row, below existing contacts. Always add new contacts at the bottom.
- Paste one column at a time under the matching header, or arrange your source columns in the same order first.
- Fill sequence for every new row: type
introin the first cell and drag the fill handle down.
You can add your own columns (e.g. city, pain_point) and use them as merge tags: {{city}}.
SheetBlast automatically skips invalid emails, duplicates and anyone on the DoNotContact tab, and marks them SUPPRESSED.
