Importing webinar registrants by CSV upload in Zoom
It is possible to import registrants to Zoom Webinars using a CSV file and have them approved automatically when they are imported. The registrants will receive an email confirmation once they have been successfully imported into the system.
There is a limit of 2MB for the size of the CSV file.
Note :Â
- This option will not be available for webinars in which charging a registration fee through Paypal has been enabled.
- The only webinars that can be uploaded are those that are one-time events (non recurring).
- Registrations imported from other registries with additional required questions will be redirected to the registration page so that the import registrants can complete the missing questions on the registration page.
