How to import registrants from a file
If you already have a list of people, you can load them into your event at
once from a CSV file instead of adding them one by one.
1. Start from the template
๐ Download the import template
Required columns: first name, last name, email.
2. Add your own fields
If your registration form asks for more โ institution, license number,
specialty โ add a column for each.
๐ด The column name has to match the field name exactly. Same
capitalization, same spaces, same accents and punctuation.
Licence numberwill not match a field calledLicense Number. The row
imports, the answer goes nowhere, and you find out when you export.
Multiple-choice fields that accept more than one answer need their values
in square brackets:
[29] [Bogotรก]Single-answer fields do not use brackets. Writing them with brackets is
the second most common reason a row fails.
3. Save it as CSV
In Excel: File โ Save As, and choose Comma Separated Values (.csv).
Before importing, check that:
- The columns are in the right order
- There are no empty rows at the bottom
- No stray characters got in
๐ก The empty-rows one catches people. Deleting the contents of a row does
not delete the row, and Excel will happily export a thousand blank lines that
all come back as errors.
4. Import
1. Go to Registration.
2. Click the three dots under the New registration button.
3. Choose Import attendees.
4. Pick the ticket type these people should get.
5. Upload the CSV and click Import.
5. Read the result email
When it finishes you get an email with the outcome.
If some rows failed, the email says how many and attaches a file with the
reason for each one. That file is the useful part โ it tells you exactly
which rows to fix rather than making you guess.
Why rows usually fail
Already registered | That person is in the event, from an earlier import or their own registration |
Duplicate emails | Two rows with the same address in one file |
Not really a CSV | Saved as |
Missing a required field | No first name, last name or email |
Column name does not match | See the warning above โ the most common of all |
๐ก Import ten rows first, then the rest. Every one of these failures shows
up on ten rows just as clearly as on a thousand, and fixing ten is quick.
