In many cases, you might only have basic contact details, such as an email address or phone number, and still want to invite people to your event. With this streamlined process, you can easily add contacts as invitees and ensure they receive the registration link without needing full details upfront. Here's how to do it step by step while maintaining a seamless system experience.
Steps to Import Invitees
Log in to the Blink dashboard.
Navigate to the event you want to invite attendees to.
From the left sidebar of your application, go to Registration.
Under the Registration tab, click on Invitees.
Click on the Import Invitees button in the upper-right corner. A pop-up will appear.
Upload a file directly or download an Excel template to map your content easily. The template contains three fields:
Country code.
Contact number.
Email address.
Fill in the template and upload it. The data will be displayed on the page.
Review each cell to ensure the information is correct, then map each field in the template to the system's dashboard fields.
You can choose to map specific fields or skip them.
Then after reviewing all the imported data, click on save & import
A success message will appear, and the contacts will be listed as invitees.
Taking bulk actions
Select one or more invitees to take action using the system.
Use the Show Selected toggle button to filter the list and view only selected invitees. Click on the Bulk Actions button to open the action menu on the right side.
Choose an action from the menu, such as the registration link.
Then from the next menu select "Sending the registration link"
Select the communication channel (email or SMS) for sending the link.
Then click on "Send"
A success message will show, and the invitees will receive the registration link.
Once invitees complete their registration, they will automatically appear as attendees.
