Import and dataUpdated Oct 16, 2026

Import from your email

Turn the people in your connected mailbox into contacts, with a company for each business address, without typing them in or building a spreadsheet.

Spodus can read who you've been emailing and turn them into contacts. You pick who to add. Nothing is created until you click Import.

Before you start

The list shows people in your own synced mail who aren't contacts yet. Automated senders, like no-reply addresses, are left out.
People you wrote to start ticked. People who only wrote to you start unticked.
Each person shows their address, their company's domain, how many emails you've exchanged and the date of the last one.
A company is added for each new business address, like acme.com, and named from it. Addresses at public mail services, like gmail.com, get no company.
If a company with that domain already exists, the contact is linked to it instead.
New contacts and companies are owned by you, and each contact's Source is Email.
On a large mailbox, the list shows the 2,000 people you emailed most recently.
Your past emails with them show on their records straight away.

In the left rail, click CRM, then Contacts.
Click the arrow beside the New contact button (Import or export), then click Import….
Click From your email.
Tick the people you want. Use Search people to find someone, or the box at the top of the list to tick or untick everyone shown.
Click Import. The button shows how many contacts will be added, for example Import 12 contacts.
