If you imported a contact list from NGP VAN/EveryAction and it didn't include the data you were expecting, these might be the culprit:

If the list did import and is showing VAN IDs, but not names and/or phone numbers (or names are shown as "Unknown":

  • Make sure you used the SmsSync export type when you imported the list.

    • If you don't see SmsSync as an option under VAN Export Types, you'll need help from the VAN/EveryAction team to enable that export type option in your account. Here's a template of a message to send to VAN/EveryAction support - feel free to CC us at [email protected], and we'll be happy to consult directly with the VAN/EveryAction team to provide more information as needed.

      • Can you turn on the "SMS Sync" list type for our account, so we can import cell phone numbers into our texting tool, Impactive?
