Reach is Maze's tester management tool. You can use it to build and manage a database of testers, create segments, and send targeted campaigns with Mazes.

This article will walk you through how to add contacts to Reach:

Limits

  • Users on the Professional plan (legacy) and the Team plan can add up to 2000 participants.
  • Organization plan users can add up to 1 million database participants. Each import file must not exceed 20.000 participants at a time. 

How to add participants to Reach

Upload a CSV with your contacts

Before you start, you'll need a CSV with your contacts:

  • If you already have your contacts in other systems, such as Google Sheets or Mailchimp, you can export a CSV file from there. Learn more
  • Alternatively, if you don't have the desired list of contacts within a third-party tool yet, you'll need to manually source the emails and other relevant information. Learn more
If you need a sample database with dummy data to test Reach internally, click Download 'Sample.csv' when opening your empty Reach database. You can then import that sample file into Reach.

Once you have your CSV, you can import it into Reach. Here's how you do it:

  1. Log in to your Maze account and ensure you have selected the relevant team.
  2. In the navigation panel on the left side, open the Tester database (icon-tester-cards.svg)

    Match columns
  7. If everything looks good, click Continue to confirm the submission.
    Confirm import data
  8. You'll be taken back to the database, where you'll see all testers already imported into Maze. Click each entry to open the participant profile. Here you can see more information, edit details, and delete that individual participant. Learn more about editing your Reach database
