A CSV file is a file, created in Excel which has all the information you need for a person you want to connect with or message such as first and last name, email, phone number, company name, address, LinkedIn URL, etc.
Keep in mind that your CSV file cannot be bigger than 1 MB (depending on the number of columns you have, this will be approximately 2500 people).
Your CSV file should ALWAYS include a URL to a user’s LinkedIn profile, otherwise, it will not be accepted.
Check out an example of the format, how your CSV file should look like
