⚡Quick answer-
During upload, MyOperator automatically skips duplicate numbers, invalid formats, non-Indian numbers (by default), and blank rows. Only the first occurrence of a duplicate and valid +91 numbers is imported.
Open it right after preparing your audience file to understand what will be accepted, what will be skipped, and how to read the error report.
Type of entry | Action taken |
Duplicate phone numbers | Only the first instance is kept |
Invalid numbers | Skipped |
Blank/malformed rows | Skipped |
Name | Phone number | Import result |
John Doe | 919876543210 | ✅ Imported |
Jane Smith | 98765abc | ❌ Skipped – invalid format |
Rahul | +44 7700000000 | ❌ Skipped – non-Indian |
(blank) | (blank) | ❌ Skipped – empty row |
Only John Doe is imported; the rest are excluded with error notes.
Even if you save the file in the restricted pattern (blank, international numbers etc), you will get an error while uploading those contacts.
• Default rule: only 91 numbers are accepted (international sending not yet supported).
• File hygiene: – Use international format 91XXXXXXXXXX. – Remove special characters or spaces in numbers. – Eliminate duplicates and blank rows before upload.
• Error handling: click Download Error Report after upload to review rejected entries and fix them before retrying.
Issue | Impact | Recommended action |
Renamed or deleted a mandatory column | Upload fails | Keep original headers |
Special characters in numbers | Number rejected | Remove spaces, dashes, symbols |
