Contact Lists

Learn how to create and manage Contact Lists in FileInvite. Contact Lists let you organize up to 500 contacts into reusable groups, enabling efficient bulk invite workflows for high-volume document collection.

If your Fileinvite Login URL ends in fileinvite.com, please use this knowledge base instead.

Note: "Contact Groups" have been renamed to "Contact Lists" throughout FileInvite.

Adding Contacts via CSV or XLSX Import

  1. On the New Contact List page, select Import from File
  2. Click Download Template to get a correctly formatted template file
  3. Fill in your contact information using the template
  4. Drag and drop your completed CSV or XLSX file into the upload area, or click click to upload to browse for the file
  5. Click Create New List to save

Note: When importing contacts, existing contacts matched by email address are automatically linked to the list rather than creating duplicates.


Using Contact Lists for Bulk Invites

Contact Lists are designed to work with the Bulk Invite feature. Once you've created a Contact List, you can send document requests to all contacts in the list with a single action.

See Creating Bulk Invites for detailed instructions.

  2. Click the Filters dropdown
  3. Select Contact List
  4. Choose the Contact List you want to filter by

All Invites associated with that Contact List will appear in the results.
