Adding Members: Format for names and email addresses
When you add or invite members by typing or pasting them in, use the format below.
Got a spreadsheet? You don't need to reformat it. Upload it exactly as it is — any columns, any order, any headings — and Gaggle Mail matches the columns for you. See How to bulk-add members.
Contact details
Always include the email address. The name is optional.
Typing or pasting members
Enter one member per line. Put a space or comma between the name and the email address. Either can come first.
Delivery
To set how someone receives messages, add digest or paused at the end of their line. Leave it off for immediate delivery.

What happens if a line isn't right
You'll see a preview of everyone before they're added. Lines without a valid email address are marked Invalid and skipped. You can fix them in the preview using the pencil icon, or leave them out and carry on.
