Formatting a List

  • Contact ID
  • Contact First Name
  • Contact Last Name
  • Contact Email
  • Contact Phone
  • Contact Phone Type (If you know it, include the phone type of mobile, landline, or undefined in this field).
  • Contact Language - (Click here for a list of languages Possip translates).
  • School (Organization, PTA, PTO, etc.) Name 

Your spreadsheet can be formatted using any spreadsheet software, including Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. 

A spreadsheet with the aforemention headers (contact id, contact first name, contact last name, etc.) listed in the top row of a Microsoft Excel file.

Formatting Contact Lists for Multiple Staff Groups

If you are preparing contact lists for multiple staff groups at once, use the "school name" column to indicate which school, organization, PTA/PTO, etc. each contact is affiliated with. 

If your data export creates a tab or workbook for each group, create a blank “All Contacts” tab and copy and paste the data from each individual tab.
