Mission 2: Get Your Data In

Before you can do anything in graph8, you need data. This mission walks you through importing contacts and organizing them into a list.

Step 1: Import contacts

1. Navigate to Data → Contacts
2. Click the Import button in the top right
3. Select a CSV file from your computer
   • The file should have columns like email, first_name, last_name, company
   • graph8 will auto-map common column names
4. Review the column mapping and click Import
5. Wait for the import to complete — you’ll see a success message with the count

Tip

Don’t have a CSV ready? Export a small list from your CRM or email tool. Even 10-20 contacts is enough to get started.

Step 2: Create a list

Lists let you group contacts for targeted outreach.

1. Navigate to Data → Lists
2. Click Create List
3. Give it a name (e.g., “First Outreach List”)
4. Add contacts:
   • Use filters to find specific contacts
   • Or select contacts manually from the grid
5. Save the list

Step 3: View a company profile

graph8 automatically groups contacts by company.

1. Navigate to Data → Companies
2. Click on any company name to see its profile
3. Review the company details:
   • Basic info (industry, size, location)
   • Associated contacts
   • Activity history

Once you’ve imported contacts, created a list, and viewed a company profile, this mission is complete!
