You can link several e-mail addresses with a sedamo code — and hence with a (physical or postal) address by simply uploading a CVS file or spreadsheet file in the format described below:

File format:

• Comma Separated Values file (.csv)
  • UTF-8 encoding
  • text delimiters: “
  • value separators: ,
• Open Document Spreadsheet (.ods)
• Excel Spread Sheet (.xls)
  • Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP
• SQL
• other formats on request
• maximum file size: 3 MiByte

Fields:

1. sedamo — 8-letter code of the address (mandatory)
2. email — e-mail address (mandatory)
3. nameline1 — e.g. hotel name
4. nameline2 — e.g. department
5. phone — phone number
6. mobile — cell phone number
7. fax — facsimile number
8. homepage — URL of your website
9. language — ISO 2-code of the local language

Remarks:

• Only sedamo and email fields are mandatory. All other fields are optional.
• The first line of the spreadsheet file must contain the field names. (The field order is at your discretion.)
• The sedamo field may contain a formatted or unformatted code (ABCDEFGH or AB-CD-EF-GH)
• Phone/mobile/fax numbers have to be in the international format, e.g. +44-7700-900123 or 447700900123 (here: +44- = UK IDD)
• E-mail addresses must be unique (i.e., two sedamo address codes cannot be assigned to one e-mail address).

Sample files:

• CSV: email2address_example.csv
• OpenDocument (also for MS Excel): email2address_example.ods
• SQL: email2address_example.sql

Tips:

• Use short e-mail addresses, e.g. fra@example.com instead point_of_delivery_frankfurt_am_main@mail.example.com
• Include the well-known e-mail addresses of contact persons (receptionists etc.), e.g. sabrina.davis@example.com
• Use A~Z, dot . and @ preferably; avoid underscore _ and minus sign - and numbers, do not use special characters and IDNs¹⁾ (negative example: xeno&phobia~2.0@example.中国)
