SELF SERVICE BULK CLEANING GUIDE

Before using the bulk address validation service, you must be registered and subscribed to a Business plan. If you already have an account, skip to Step 2.

1. Visit pricing.addresser.com.au/pricing and select a Business plan that matches your monthly volume requirements.
2. Complete the registration process. You will be prompted to create a username and password during sign-up.
3. Keep your credentials safe — you will use them each time you log in to the Addresser dashboard.

Addresser Business Plan pricing options — choose the tier that suits your monthly volume.

Once registered, use your credentials to log in to the Addresser dashboard where all bulk validation functions are managed.

1. Go to app.addresser.com.au/signin.
2. Enter your Username and Password.
3. Click Login to access the dashboard.
4. If you have forgotten your password, click Reset Password? on the login page.

The Addresser secure sign-in page at app.addresser.com.au/signin.

After logging in you will land on the Dashboard showing your usage reports. Navigate to the Bulk Validation feature from the left-hand sidebar.

1. Locate the left-hand navigation bar.
2. Click "Bulk Validation".

Click "Bulk Validation" in the left-hand navigation sidebar.

The Bulk Validation page will load, displaying two tabs at the top: File Upload and Recents.

The bulk address validation service requires an address file in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. Preparing your file correctly before uploading will avoid errors.

• Each record must have the full address stored in a single column and a unique identifier in another column.
• The file must use UTF-8 encoding.
• Save the file in .csv format only — Addresser does not accept Excel (.xlsx) files directly.
• A CSV can be exported from Microsoft Excel using File > Save As > CSV (Comma delimited).

Example CSV structure: a unique identifier in the first column and the full address in the second column.

From the File Upload tab on the Bulk Validation page, configure your upload settings and select your file.

1. Click the "Select Plan" dropdown and choose the active Business plan you are subscribed to.
2. Click the "Add CSV" button to browse and select your CSV file.
3. Once selected, the system will display the file name, file size, row count, and number of columns. Review these to confirm the file was read correctly.
4. If your CSV contains a header row, tick the "Has header" checkbox.
5. Click the "Next" button to proceed to the column selection step.

Select your plan, add the CSV file, confirm the header option, then click Next.

After clicking Next, the system advances to Step 2 of the upload wizard. A preview of the first data row from your CSV is shown, with each column listed individually.

1. Review the sample row to identify which column contains your address data.
2. Select the column header that corresponds to your address field (e.g. INPUT_ADDRESS). A tick mark will confirm the selection.
3. Click "Upload" to submit the file for processing.

Step 2 of the upload wizard: select the column containing your address data, then click Upload.

Once uploaded, the system queues your file for processing. You can track its progress from the Recents tab.

1. After clicking Upload, the system automatically switches to the Recents tab.
2. Your file will appear in the list. At this stage its status will be "Submitted".

The Recents tab shows your submitted file at the top of the list. The file names have been redacted for privacy.

Shortly after upload you will receive a notification email from Addresser confirming the file was received and is being processed.

First email notification: confirms your file was uploaded and queued for processing.

When processing is complete, you will receive a second email notification advising the results file is ready to download.

Second email notification: confirms bulk cleansing is complete and the results file is ready.

Once you receive the completion email, return to the Recents tab to download your cleansed address file.

1. Navigate to Bulk Validation in the left sidebar.
2. Click the Recents tab at the top of the page.
3. Locate your file — its status will now show as "Completed".
4. Click the "Download" button in the Action column next to your file.

The Recents tab showing the processed file with "Completed" status and the Download button available.

The downloaded CSV file contains your original columns plus a comprehensive set of standardised address fields appended by the system. Open it in Microsoft Excel or any CSV viewer to review your results.

Each output column is described in the reference table below.
