This CSV list can be generated through Excel, exported from CRM software, or even from your favorite email program, such as Gmail or Outlook.

But what is a CSV file, after all? The acronym CSV stands for “Comma-Separated Values.” It is a simple text file that organizes information using a comma (or semicolon) as the value separator.

For example, consider the table below:

Name	Email Address	City
Ron	[email protected]	New York
Christine	[email protected]	Los Angeles

The table above can be represented in a CSV file in the following ways:

• In Notepad or other programs like Notepad++
• In Microsoft Excel
