Bulk Import a Guest List Into Evenium From a Google Sheet

The Scenario

You're coordinating a 3-day corporate conference. The confirmed guest list lives in a Google Sheet — 320 rows, first name, last name, email, and company across columns A through D. Evenium is where the invitations go out from, so every contact needs to be in the address book before the campaign launches.

You were going to export the sheet to CSV, reformat the headers to match Evenium's import template, upload, and manually fix whatever the error report spits back. Which usually means re-exporting with corrected columns, uploading again, and realizing row 214 had a comma in the company name that broke the parser.

The bad version:

  • Export from Google Sheets to CSV, discover the column order doesn't match Evenium's import template
  • Reformat the CSV headers manually, re-upload, scan through the 12-row error report for duplicate emails
  • Repeat once more when you realize one column is labeled "Company Name" instead of "company"

The event brief said invitations go out Monday. You have about two hours left in your Friday.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the data and talks to Evenium for you — no CSV export, no manual reformatting, no import wizard. Open the SheetXAI sidebar and describe what you need.

Import all rows from this sheet into Evenium as contacts — first name in column A, last name in B, email in C, company in D — and write the returned Evenium contact ID into column E.

What You Get

  • Each of the 320 rows processes as a separate Evenium contact creation call, batched in a single operation from your side
  • The Evenium contact ID for each successful import lands in column E on the corresponding row
  • Rows where the email already exists in Evenium are flagged as duplicates in column E rather than silently overwriting the existing record
  • Any rows that fail — missing email, malformed data — surface with an error message in column E so you know exactly which ones need attention

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

Column A has full names instead of split first/last

Split the names in column A into first name and last name, write them to columns F and G, then import all rows into Evenium using column F for first name, column G for last name, column C for email, and column D for company — write the contact ID back to column E.

Some rows are missing an email address

Before importing, check each row in columns A through D for a missing email in column C. Write MISSING in column E for those rows and skip them during import. For all rows with a valid email, proceed with the Evenium import and write the returned contact ID into column E.

The guest list spans two tabs — confirmed and waitlist

Import contacts from both the Confirmed tab and the Waitlist tab into Evenium. Use columns A (first name), B (last name), C (email), and D (company) from each tab. Write the returned Evenium contact ID into column E on each tab, and mark which source tab each contact came from in the Evenium contact notes field.

Check for duplicates first, then import, then report

For each email in column C of my Guest List sheet, check if the contact already exists in Evenium and write EXISTS or NEW into column F. Then import only the NEW rows as Evenium contacts and write the returned contact ID into column E. Finally, add a summary row at the bottom: how many were new, how many already existed, how many failed.

One prompt handles the dedup check, the conditional import, and the summary — no pre-processing step required.

Try It

Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open your conference guest list sheet, then ask it to bulk import your contacts into Evenium and write back the contact IDs. When you're done, see how the same setup works for pulling attendance history back out of Evenium or the full Evenium overview.
