How to add a list of Attendees?

You are able to add a list containing all the participants by importing a file instead of individually adding the participants. In order to be able to do this, follow the steps below. 

Step 1

On the admin tool, go to the "INVITE" section, then click on "Attendees".

Step 2

Click on "Add attendees".

Step 3

In the pop-up window to the right labelled "Add attendees", click on the button "Download sample file" and select the format that you would like your file to be in.

This sample file has been pre-filled with fake attendees, so you can follow these examples when adding yours.

Step 4

Fill in the downloaded file with information about your participants.

It is mandatory to at least fill out the first three columns (first_name, last_name and email) and it is imperative that you DO NOT change their title. If you do not have the other information (job_title, location...) you can delete them. 

Step 5

Save your file and drag it to the appropriate area (on the left of the pop-up window). A message will appear as soon as your file has been imported notifying you of the compatibility of the file and its handling. 

After this import, an email will be sent to you when your attendee list has been imported, with a recap of your import and the potential errors.

Summary

• Download the sample file in order to integrate your attendee list at once.
• Keep the first 3 columns (first_name, last_name and email) and delete the ones you do not need.
• Keep the exact column header names.
• A summary email will be sent to you to confirm or not the importation of your attendees.
