Event Promo Code Import Wizard

To open the Event Promo Code Import Wizard, click the Import Promo Codes button in the top right corner of the Promo Code List page.

The wizard enables you to import promo codes into your event from a CSV file, in these two steps:

A: Prepare an Import File
B: Import Your Data

A. Prepare an Import File

Start by preparing a CSV file containing the data to be imported.

Best practice

Keep the columns in the same order. Use the same or similar names as the mapping step uses. The mapping step is described in the field mapping section. This practice makes the mapping step quicker and easier. Those fields are more likely to be mapped by default.

Header row

The first row must be column names. Use these when mapping the fields.

Note re Required fields

See the list of columns to import in the field mapping section.

All fields apart from Capacity are required fields.
A file cannot be imported if any of them are not included.
The import of a record will fail if any of them have no value.

Save the file

Save the file as a CSV file. The first row contains the column headings, which are the field names.

Sample CSV file

Sample CSV File: promo code import sample csv file

Right-click this file name to save a sample CSV file with columns for all the fields. Note: Replace the sample data with your own data to import.

B. Import Your Data

Once you have a CSV file of Promo Codes to import, step through the Event Promo Code Import Wizard to import it.
