[SOLVED] Importing 'Do Not Email'
November 23, 2010, 07:14:58 am
We are importing a large list from eTapestry and one of the fields in 'No Email'. I see that during the CiviCRM import I have the option of choosing the field 'Do Not Email' yet when I do, nothing seems to happen. I have set up the CSV file with NO as the content in the field and the import works but 'Do Not Email' is not checked in the contact. I tried using the content 'Do Not Email' in the cell but then I get an error during the import.

What is the proper way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,
I think that if you set the value for the Do Not email field to 1 it will work, but try it with one record first, just to make sure.

Hope this helps,
Cynthia
