Rather than making you resolve every problem before importing, EasyDigz fixes what it can and shows you what it did. The review step is a summary, not a task list.
#What gets fixed
| Problem | What happens |
|---|---|
| No name | One is generated from the email address, or a placeholder such as "Contact Row 5". The row is never dropped for this |
| Malformed email | Corrected automatically where possible, a missing @ becomes a sensible address |
| No email at all | A unique placeholder is generated so the contact still imports and can be updated later |
| The same email twice in your file | The first is kept as-is; later ones get new unique addresses so no row is lost |
| Email already in your database | A new unique address is generated for the incoming row to avoid a collision |
| Badly formatted phone | Reformatted where possible, cleared where not |
| Duplicate phone numbers | The duplicate value is cleared |
| Unrecognisable birthdate | Cleared |
A missing email would normally block an import. Here it produces a placeholder so the person still arrives and you can fill in the real address when you have it.
#Placeholder emails
Contacts imported without a real address are marked, and they will show as No email when you build an audience. They are in your database but not reachable until you add a real address.
There is a dedicated view of accounts using placeholder addresses, so you can work through them rather than discovering them one campaign at a time.
#Reviewing before you commit
The review table lists every affected row with a plain description, "Duplicate email, replaced", "Name missing, generated", "Invalid phone, cleared". Rows with problems are sorted to the top so you see them first rather than finding them on page nine.
You can edit any row inline, or remove a row from the import entirely, and undo the removal if you change your mind.
#When to intervene
| Leave it | Fix it |
|---|---|
| Cleared birthdates you were never going to use | A generated name for someone important, set the real one |
| Cleared duplicate phone numbers | A placeholder email for an active client |
| Placeholder names on cold rows | Anything you plan to email this week |
#Editing an email by hand
If you edit an email during review, it is validated strictly, remove the @ and you get a clear error and cannot save. Automatic fixes are generous; your own typing is checked.
