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
