  1. Create a CSV spreadsheet with your custom fields in their own column.

  2. Follow the normal CSV upload process, stopping on the field mapping screen.

  3. Instead of one of the preset fields, choose Add a new Custom Field from the drop-down.

  4. Enter your desired field name and click OK.

  5. Finish uploading your CSV. Your contacts will come through with the added custom field.

NOTE
After you’ve created your custom field it can take around 30 minutes for the field to appear in the dynamic field drop-down in your template editor.
