Help: Recommending Damason

When you recommend our site or a piece of content on our site, you can either:
  • type in the details of your contacts manually
  • upload a CSV file of contact details

CSV files

If you choose to upload a CSV file we will give you a choice to choose which contacts you would like to recommend to before sending – don't worry we won't spam anyone on your contact list!

Our recommend tool should work with all major software and web applications that support CSV, and we have prepared instructions for retrieving CSV files from the following software:

  5. Select the fields you want to save; click Finish.
