### Import testers with .csv file

You can easily add a bunch of testers with the help of a .csv file., either as single testers or add them straight to your distribution group.&#x20;

The .csv file must contain the tester's email address only.&#x20;

#### Example of a .csv file

```
test@getupdraft.com;
test+1@getupdraft.com;
test+2@getupdraft.com
test+3@getupdraft.com
```

All added Testers are automatically added to your distribution list of your app project.
