Once you have uploaded your guest list, you will be redirected to a preview page that shows how your data is structured. You will then need to match the data columns from your import list to your Beambox data columns:
Field | Format |
Standard email format (e.g myname@website.com) | |
Phone | International phone number format with country code prefix, e.g +15427443110 |
Full Name | Complete name, which we will split into a first name and last name. |
First Name | First name only. |
Last Name | Last name only. |
Birthday | The date of the birthday. Use the data format dropdown to match your format. |
Gender | Either "Male" or "Female". |
Country | The guests country, such as "United States". |
Subscribed | If the guest is opted-in to marketing. "Yes" and "True" means the guest is subscribed. Everything else means they are opted-out. |
Unsubscribed | If the guest is opted-out of marketing. "Yes" and "True" means the guest is unsubscribed. Everything else means they are opted-in. |
