When setting up your BeeCastle account, you can add contacts one-by-one by suggested contacts or you can bulk import multiple contacts at a time.

You can either bulk import contacts directly from Outlook Contacts, or by uploading a contact list. This contact list can be exported from other sources such as CRMs or billing services.

Importing Outlook Contacts

Bulk importing contacts is made easy with our integration with Outlook Contacts, allowing you to directly import your Outlook Contacts and curate your BeeCastle contacts.
