Tips

  • Duplicates: If a guest with the same email already exists, their information will be updated rather than creating a duplicate.

  • Groups: Leave the group column empty if you don’t want to assign guests to a group. You can always organise them later using the bulk “Assign to Group” action.

  • Guests column: Use commas to separate multiple guest names. These are the additional people (plus ones) that will be attending with the main guest.

  • Phone numbers: Any format is accepted - we’ll store it exactly as you enter it.

After Uploading

Once your upload is complete, you’ll see a summary of how many guests were imported. You can then:

  • Review and edit individual guests

  • Assign guests to groups

  • Add guests to your events
