Add event participants using a CSV file

If you have a comma-separated values (CSV) file that contains names and e‑mail addresses, you can import the CSV file to add participants to an event. Keep these requirements in mind when you import a CSV file:
  • The file should not contain empty lines. If the CSV file contains empty lines, the import operation fails.

  • Names that contain a comma must be in quotes. For example, the name John Doe, Jr., must appear in the CSV file as “John Doe, Jr.” for the file to import correctly.

  • Do not include a header row in the CSV file.

  • At minimum, the CSV file must contain columns for first name, last name, and e‑mail address. For example:

    Michael

    Betts

    mbetts@mycompany.com

    Rachel

    Blatt

    rblatt@mycompany.com

    Rebecca

    Bloom

    rbloom@mycompany.com

    Charles

    Bond

    cbond@mycompany.com

    Paul

    Davis

    pdavis@mycompany.com

Note: Guest users that were imported into a CSV file in Connect Enterprise 5.1 (Breeze 5.1) do not have first and last name columns, just one name column, so they are exported with the full name in the first name column and a blank in the last name column.
