    • Note: Check Skip Confirmation Process to certify that these users have already manually confirmed to receive communication for this list.

You will receive a summary of the number of subscribers added for email, SMS as well as any that were ignored as duplicates. If there are any problems, double-check the formatting of your file and make sure all of your columns are correct.
