Data field mapping just got a whole lot smoother<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve converted from the drag-and-drop function to <strong>dropdown options<\/strong>. So now you can select the data header in the dropdown box. Not only can you upload CSVs with many more columns, it\u2019ll give you some real-time feedback on the formatting of your mobile numbers too! Get advance warning if Excel has saved your CSV in the <a href=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/how-to-prevent-excel-scientific-notation\/\">dreaded scientific notation!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">2. Your upload report is more specific<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For our standard UK-only customers, any errors with the mobile numbers in your data file are now even more obvious. We understand that in a rush these can sometimes be missed. We hope now, they won\u2019t be! We want your campaign to be a success and your data is at the heart of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">3. You can download the original CSV file you uploaded<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I or didn\u2019t I?! It\u2019s handy to check your original upload. We\u2019ve all been there; sometimes a file is named very similar, and the wrong file has been selected. Now you can sanity check this by seeing the original data file you uploaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">4. View a full itemised report<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a single report with each line detailed on the success or failure of the upload? We\u2019ve got you covered. We\u2019ll take each of your uploaded lines and report exactly the outcome, making it easy to track down that odd entry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve updated our help guide too. <a href=\"https:\/\/help.firetext.co.uk\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/360000079931-Uploading-Contacts\">Click here<\/a> to see the latest changes in action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We never rest on our laurels here at FireText.
