How to add and invite members

1. Click Members:

   

   
   

2. Click Add members:

   

3. You can either add people individually, by entering or pasting in their name (optional) and email address (required). Add one person per line (press Enter for a new line), with a space or comma between name and email address (see the accepted format):

   

4. Or you can bulk-add people by uploading a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) in whatever layout you already have. No template, no reformatting: any columns, any order, any headings. Drag-and-drop the file or click to choose it from your computer. Gaggle Mail matches your columns to member fields automatically, and can keep any extra columns as custom fields.

5. Either way, you'll see a preview of everyone before anything happens. Each row shows whether the person will be added, updated (already a member, details changed), skipped (already a member, nothing changed) or is invalid. Click the pencil to correct a row, or the bin to leave someone out.

   

6. Choose how to bring them in:

   - Add people directly. Tick Send welcome email to send your welcome message (you can edit it before sending), then click Add.

   - Invite people to join. They receive an invitation email (you can edit it before sending) and become members when they accept.
