New Feature: Bulk Registration Import with Smart Validation

We're excited to announce a major upgrade to our registration import capabilities—smart validation that catches errors before they cause problems.

What's New

Intelligent Field Mapping

Upload any Excel format, and our system will:
  • Auto-detect column headers
  • Map to registration fields automatically
  • Suggest corrections for mismatches
  • Handle variations ("Email", "E-mail", "email address")
  • Smart Validation

    Before import, we check for:
  • Email format validity
  • Duplicate registrations
  • Required field completeness
  • Data type consistency
  • Custom field validation rules
  • Error Handling

    Instead of failing silently or rejecting entire uploads:
  • See all issues in a clear dashboard
  • Fix errors inline before import
  • Download error report for offline fixing
  • Re-upload only corrected rows
  • How to Use

    Step 1: Prepare Your File

  • Excel (.xlsx) or CSV format
  • One header row with column names
  • One attendee per row
  • Include required fields (name, email minimum)
  • Step 2: Upload and Map

  • Go to Registrations > Import
  • Upload your file
  • Review auto-mapping suggestions
  • Adjust any incorrect mappings
  • Step 3: Review Validation

  • Green = ready to import
  • Yellow = warnings (duplicates, optional fields missing)
  • Red = errors (must fix before import)
  • Step 4: Import

  • Click Import button
  • Watch progress bar
  • Receive confirmation email
  • View imported registrations
  • Best Practices

  • Start with a test: Import 10 rows first
  • Use consistent formatting: Especially for dates and phones
  • Include unique identifiers: Employee ID, registration number, etc.
  • Check duplicates carefully: Sometimes they're intentional
  • Limits and Performance

  • Maximum file size: 10MB
  • Maximum rows per import: 10,000
  • Processing speed: ~500 rows/minute
  • Concurrent imports: 3 per account
  • Try It Now

    The bulk import feature is available now for all plans. Head to your dashboard and give it a try!
