Summary. Bulk importing a contact list into GoHighLevel takes a formatted CSV and a few mapping decisions. The import wizard walks through file upload, opportunity creation mode (create, create-and-update, or update only), contact deduplication preferences, and column-to-field mapping. Once the import runs, a live progress view shows successes, warnings, and errors, and you can optionally add imported contacts to a workflow or tag them for later filtering.
