How do I send multiple address collection/delayed shipping links?
This guide explains how to send multiple "Address Collection" or "Delayed Shipping" links at once using a bulk CSV upload in the IEX Portal. This process is ideal when you need to send physical items to recipients but do not have their shipping addresses yet.
1. Prepare Your CSV File
Before you begin, you must prepare a CSV file with your recipient information. You can use our template to ensure your file is formatted correctly.
-
Get the Template: Make a copy of the Bulk Template in Google Sheets or download a local version.
-
Format: Regardless of how you edit the file, you must save and upload it to the IEX Portal in CSV format.
Use the following descriptions to fill out each column in the template accurately.
Column Name |
Required(Yes/No) |
Description |
| Sender Email* | Yes | The email of your user to send on behalf of. This email should be an existing user inside the portal. |
| First Name* | Yes | Recipient's first name. |
| Last Name* | Yes | Recipient's first name. |
| Company | No | It is not required if you're sending to a home address but if you're sending to an office location it greatly increases deliverability. |
| Address 1 | No | Not required with Delayed Shipping. |
| Address 2 | No | Not required with Delayed Shipping. |
| City | No | Not required with Delayed Shipping. |
| State/Region | No | Not required with Delayed Shipping. |
| Zip | No | Not required with Delayed Shipping. |
| Country | Yes | Name of the country. Always required |
| Recipient Phone* | No | Not required with Delayed Shipping. |
| Recipient Email* | No | An email is required if Delayed Shipping is being sent through the portal. |
| Internal Notes | No | Recommended for additional instructions for the warehouse team. |
2. Create the Bulk Send in the IEX Portal
Once your CSV file is ready, follow these steps to upload it and create your sends.
-
Log in to the IEX Portal.
-
In the main navigation, click Create Bulk Send.
-
Select the Campaign(s) or items for your custom send.
-
In the Write Your Email section, choose one of two options:
-
Send links from the portal: Select an email template or compose a new message, then click Continue. The portal will email a unique link to each recipient.

-
Send links yourself: Click the check box of Skip this step if you plan to distribute the links outside the IEX Portal (e.g., via your own email client or messaging app).

-
-
Upload your completed CSV file.
-
Click Create Sends to finish the process.
3. How to Retrieve Links (If You Skipped the Email Step)
If you skip the email step, you must retrieve the unique links and send them to your recipients. There are two ways to access these links:
-
Immediate Download: After your upload is processed, download the
Successful_Sends.csvfile from the Send Results in the top right of your screen. This report contains all the order details, with the uniqueOrder IDandLinkfor each recipient in the final two columns.

-
Delivery Report: You can also find the links for all engagements by downloading a full delivery report. For instructions, please see our article: How do I download my delivery report?
4. The Recipient Experience
After a recipient receives their unique link and clicks on it, they will be prompted to enter their shipping address. Once they fill out the form and click Confirm, their address is automatically saved, and a new order is created for fulfillment.
