Already have a fan list? Fanhaven makes it easy to import existing data into your fan database. And when you need to use fan data in external tools, export gives you a clean download.

Importing fans

Preparing your data

Before importing, make sure your data is in a CSV file with the following columns:
Phone number is the primary identifier in Fanhaven. Records without a valid phone number cannot be imported.

Running the import

Post-import

After importing, Fanhaven automatically:
  • Validates emails — Checks that imported email addresses are deliverable
  • Validates phones — Verifies phone numbers are valid
  • Enriches profiles — Adds geographic and demographic data where available
