This bypasses the standard registration flow and is useful for pre-registering known attendee lists. Each imported attendee will need login credentials created and shared with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who this is for:<\/strong> Organisers pre-registering known attendee lists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time to complete:<\/strong> 10\u201320 minutes depending on list size<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navigate to the Attendees section of the Event Console and select the Import button. Prepare your CSV file with the required attendee fields including name and email address. Upload the file and map the columns to the correct Canapii fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imported attendees bypass the standard registration form. They will need login credentials (including a temporary password) created for them by the organiser and communicated directly. Imported attendees appear in the attendee list immediately and can be assigned to attendee types manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I import attendees with pre-assigned attendee types on Canapii?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Attendee type assignments can be included in the CSV import file to automatically segment attendees on import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What file format does Canapii use for attendee import?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canapii accepts CSV files for attendee import. Ensure the file is properly formatted with consistent column headers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do imported attendees receive a registration confirmation email?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not automatically. Organisers need to communicate login credentials and event access information directly to imported attendees or use the Notifications section to send a welcome message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background: #eef4ff;border-left: 4px solid #3b82f6;padding: 12px 16px;margin: 16px 0;border-radius: 4px\"><strong>Need help importing attendees?<\/strong>\n<p>Canapii&#8217;s 24\/7 support team is available any time.
