How Do I Format My Spreadsheet (CSV) File?

When you invite people to contribute to a Group Video, you may want to save time and upload a spreadsheet with all your contributors' names and contact information rather than entering them manually. 

Note: You can only upload email addresses in CSV files, not phone numbers. If you'd like to invite people via text, please manually enter them onto your Contributor List. (The ability to upload a list of phone numbers is a work in progress!)

Import from CSV:

To start, click on "Invite Contributors" from your Dashboard. Select the option " Import from CSV" below the manual entry fields. Click the Upload button. Navigate to the correct folder and select the file to upload.

The file will need at least one column titled "Email Address." Open your file before uploading, and make sure to add one of these column titles if they are not already there. Other columns titled "First Name" and "Last Name" will also be imported if present. These column titles must be in the cells at the very top of the spreadsheet (in row 1). Examples:

Note: If you have one column for "Name," only the first and last name present in the column will be uploaded. For example: "John Smith" and "John Matthew Smith" will both be uploaded as "John Smith." If you'd like all middle names to show, please separate the Name column into "First Name" and "Last Name" and place all given names in the "First Name" column, as seen in the examples above.
