Host list bulk upload guide

Host List Bulk Upload Template

Before uploading, you'll need to prepare your host list in a spreadsheet template (CSV format). To request the Host List Bulk Upload Template, email our support team at support@rapidglobal.com.

Fill out columns A to E in the template, and the Bulk Upload Script will automatically generate in column F ready for you to copy.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Mobile numbers — Use the international format (e.g., +614...)
   
2. Contact details — Each host needs either an email address or phone number (both aren't required)
   
3. Column E (Notification type) — This determines how phone notifications are sent:
   
1. M = SMS
   
2. L = Phone Call
   

Uploading a host list in bulk

1. Go to the Access module.
   
2. Press the Host List tab.
3. Select your site using the Location dropdown on the left-hand side.
   
4. Press the Bulk Upload button:
   
   
   
5. Paste the Bulk Upload Script generated using the template above.
   
6. Press Add New:
   
   

Please note: You can remove any existing hosts by ticking the Remove Existing Hosts option in the above screenshot.
