Importing from Facebook
Get started importing contacts from Facebook with Dex (including birthdays!)
Dex supports importing from Facebook. When you import from Facebook, you can:
- Import birthdays: view upcoming birthdays and receive notifications on contacts you care about
- Facebook Profile Images: add profile pictures from Facebook into your Dex contacts
- Birthday / Calendar integration: with Contact Sync, see all your upcoming birthdays on Google Calendar!

⚠️ To import from Facebook with the Dex Extension: you must be using Google Chrome
Starting the import process
Navigate to the 'Import page' at https://getdeex.com/appv3/import. Next, click the row that says 'Facebook':
The Facebook Row is the second row shown here on the Import Page
- You'll be prompted to install the extension, if you haven't already.
- After confirming, the Dex extension will open Facebook and start the import process.
The Dex extension will scroll through your friends list and birthdays to add this information into Dex. All of your information is private only to you, and you can delete your data at any time.
⚠️ DO NOT click away from the page during the import process. Otherwise, we might miss contacts! In the meantime, take a break while we do the heavy lifting.
Completing the import process
Once the Facebook import process has concluded, you'll see:
- How many contacts were imported or updated from Facebook
- The number of contacts added from Facebook
If you run the import process more than once, existing contacts will not be duplicated (and will instead be updated). Note: we recommend archiving instead of deleting Facebook contacts if you like to import from Facebook regularly.
