Import a CSV list of emails to invite people to your Group

Available to: Group Account Admins, Group Account Owners

If your group size is large, you can upload a CSV file that includes the names and emails of people that you’d like to add. Everyone on that list will be added to your Group once they register, and can receive an invitation email if you choose to do so.

Everyone from the list will be able to sign up with their email and will be added to your Group once they complete the registration. If they already had a Free account, they’d be added to the Group immediately.

Tip: Before you invite people to your Group, check out what are the roles in Education Groups and Team accounts.
