Hi - how can I upload contacts into a campaign? This is a very basic functionality, but can’t find it anywhere. As any marketer we sponsor 3rd party events, so I need to find a way to add those in the system and track performance. ---

Hi @Maria10, When you open your campaign (_Menu_ \> _Marketing_ \> _Campaigns_), you can click _Add assets_ and associate a **static list** with your campaign. ![karstenkoehler_0-1675401963869.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/c/8cf7212d2b457a68aacf9ed211043d67611e3088.png) In other words, you only need to get the contacts you’d like to associate with a campaign into a static list: [Create segments](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/lists/create-active-or-static-lists#static-lists) Best regards! ---

I need to upload a list of new contacts (contacts that are \*not\* in the database). It looks like static lists pulls from the database, but again these contacts are not in the database -- I need a manual upload for the new list of contacts we gathered at the event. How do I do that? ---

Hi @Maria10, In the last step of [importing a contact file](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-objects), you can choose to create a list from that import. That list will automatically be a static list. You can then associate this list with the campaign. Best regards! ---

Thanks -- I can’t find an excel sheet with the necessary fields to import the list of contacts. Can you please help? I need: first name, last name, phone number, job title, company name -- would those fields be enough? ---

Hi @Maria10, The email address would be the bare minimum. If you haven’t imported contacts before, I’d recommend reviewing this page: [https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/set-up-your-import-file#sample-import-files](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/set-up-your-import-file#sample-import-files) Best regards! ---

What’s the best way to track attribution for contacts uploaded to a campaign? I want these contacts to have the campaign I uploaded them to as their First Touch Converting Campaign.
