How do I import members from a spreadsheet?

If you already keep your roster in a spreadsheet, you can import everyone at once instead of typing members in one by one.

Steps

1. Go to Members and click Import.
2. Upload your CSV or Excel file.
3. Map your columns. BandBliss will suggest matches (First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Section, etc.), and you can adjust them.
4. Review the preview, fix anything flagged, and confirm the import.

Welcome emails

During import you can choose whether to send each new member a welcome email inviting them to the member portal. For imports this is off by default so you can review your roster first. You can send welcome emails later from the member list (individually or in bulk).

Tips

• Email addresses are required for each member. They're how members sign in to the portal and receive messages.
• Section names in your spreadsheet are matched to your existing sections; create your sections first for the smoothest import.
• On the Free plan you can have up to 25 active members. Larger rosters need a paid plan (see Billing & Plans).
