Simple RSVP Events Import
You can import information for existing primary registrants and existing guests for the Simple RSVP Events model. Both Yes and No RSVPS can be imported, or updated via this import, for both the primary registrant and their guests.
The import is a simple file, imported directly into the Simple RSVP Event.
Navigate to Manage Form > Import Form Data or from the Manage Events grid, select the gear icon by the event and choose Import into Event from the dropdown.
- The file needs to contain the primary key for the registrant or guest row, a Yes or No value for RSVP, and if importing guests, a column for Guest of with registrant name value if a guest.
- Whether you use constituent ID or member ID as the import key depends on your site configuration.
- Every record in the file MUST have an ID.
- You cannot create new guest registrations through the import if they do not already have a record in the system with an ID.
- A null value for the Guest of column will define that row as a primary registrant.
- RSVP registrations can be updated at any time.
- New constituent records cannot be created via the Simple RSVP Events import - every record in the file must have a primary key ID in iModules.
- All imported RSVP Yes records will be added to the attendee list.
- All imported RSVPs will be associated with the constituent's event history in Encompass.
