Importing registrations using a CSV file

Activity Messenger now allows you to import registrations taken manually or from another registration platform. By uploading a simple CSV file, you can import a participant’s:

• Name
• Email address
• Mobile phone number

In addition, if registratants are children you can import their information with new fields:

• Child name
• Child date of birth
• Child gender

Finally, you can import the event/activity/class basic information:

• Activity name
• Activity start date
• Activity start time

Map your columns

Activity Messenger will detect column names. Alternatively, if the names are different, you can specify them during the import.

Family accounts and multiple children

When you import parent and children, Activity Messenger will automatically detect siblings and group them together. It will target the parent only once. It won’t import duplicate emails.

• Name: The recipient’s full name
