CSV Formatting

Format your CSV file correctly for Zigpoll email campaigns

When running a Zigpoll email campaign, you can upload a CSV file with additional metadata for each recipient. This enriches your survey responses with extra context beyond just the email address.

Creating Your CSV File

1. Create a CSV file using the tool of your choice (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.).

2. Create a column called email. Enter the email addresses you want to contact.

3. Add additional columns for each variable you want to include.

Special Variables

The following column names are treated as special values internally:

Column Name	Purpose
email	Required. The recipient's email address
shopify_customer_id	Links the response to a Shopify customer profile
shopify_order_id	Links the response to a specific Shopify order

You can also add any custom column names to pass through additional metadata.

Example CSV

email,shopify_customer_id,shopify_order_id
[email protected],12345,67890
[email protected],12346,67891

We recommend starting small when running a campaign using a CSV file so that you can test everything out before reaching your larger audience.

Uploading Your CSV

1. Go to Surveys → Select your survey.

2. Click Actions → Send Emails.

3. Choose to upload a CSV file instead of entering emails manually.

4. Upload your formatted CSV and click Send Email.
