How to prepare and upload a file to invite students to a course?

You can now quickly invite students to your course by importing

their email addresses via file upload or manual entry. This feature allows you to send course invitations in bulk using a clean, simple process.

This feature does not add students to your contact list. If you’d like to add subscribers, go to Contacts > Add contacts and import them.

File requirements

To successfully send invitations, your file must follow these requirements:

  • The file format should be either CSV or TXT.
  • The file must use UTF-8 encoding.
  • The imported file size cannot exceed 10 MB.
  • The uploaded file should only consist of one column with email addresses. If the file contains more than one column, only the first column will be used. Column headers are allowed but will be ignored.

Invalid or malformed addresses will be skipped automatically.

No names, tags, or other metadata will be imported — only email addresses are required.
