The People File is used to import contact records for use in an event. This file can include different types of participants such as teachers, students, parents, or staff — each row represents a person.

Required Columns

  • ID - A unique identifier for each contact. Each ID must be unique across all imported contacts (Students, Teachers, Parents, People).
  • First - The first name of the person.
  • Last - The last name of the person.
  • Email - A valid email address for the contact. Only one email address per row is allowed.

Format Requirements

  • The file must be a tab-delimited text file (*.txt or *.tsv).
  • Each row must represent one person.
  • Field names (column headers) must exactly match the required field names (case-sensitive).
  • Avoid using formulas, merged cells, or formatting.
