If you're having trouble uploading the deactivation list CSV file, it may be due to one of these common issues:
- Not CSV format: All files must be in valid CSV format (file extension .csv). Other file types and formats are not accepted.
- Not UTF-8 encoded: All files must be encoded in UTF-8 character encoding.
- Invalid email address: The email address listed doesn't match an account in Workplace.
- Invalid phone number: Phone numbers should be in the format [country code] + [area code] + [phone number]. Example: +1 800 555 0150.
- Invalid locale: The locale should be one of the valid abbreviations listed in Facebook locales.
- Values contain commas: If a value contains a comma, the whole value must be escaped by using double quotes. Example: London, England should be stored in the CSV as "London, England".
- Duplicates: Duplicate employee records will cause errors in the CSV validation.
- Incorrect capitalization: Incorrect capitalization won't normally cause an error, but names, locations, and other fields will be stored with the same capitalization as in the CSV file.
- Entry limit exceeded: There is a limit of 2000 entries for CSV uploads.
