Import users and subscribe to lists

    I can successfully import users using a CSV file, mapping the headers to the field names. But is there a way to include the lists that users should be subscribed to directly in the CSV file? Or, once the import is done, do I have to edit each user to subscribe them to specific lists?
    Thanks

    Hello @dleer58, you can include lists in the imported csv with Advanced Import addon. Take a look here in our documentation.

    Michael,

    I’ve looked over that document but I don’t see what header I need to specify in the csv and what needs to be in that column to say that the user should be subscribed to specific lists.

    I tried using the exported csv file, modifying list subscription memberships (0 or 1 in the list columns) for each user, then importing that file. It did not change list membership for the users.

    Thanks

    If no one is going to tell me if this is possible or not, and if it is, how to do it, then there’s not much use for me to buy the premium license.

    This is still an open question and has not been resolved…
    Is there a way to include the subscription lists that users should be members of directly in the CSV file?
    Read above for what I’ve already tried.
    Thanks

    Hi, lists can be assigned to imported subscribers, not read from the imported data. See https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/addons/extended-features/advanced-import/ for the complete documentation.

    So I can’t import 300 subscribers and have them be subscribed automatically to a specific list?

    Yes, you can, you have just to choose the list while importing.

    Ok… What I meant is that, from what I understand, I cannot have a CSV file with 300 subscribers and have them be automatically subscribed to specific lists during the import…

    Yes, you can. But you don’t have to specify the lists in the CSV file, but as an option of the import process. So what you have to do is make separate files for each list, then import them choosing the appropriate options.
