Hello, if I have 50 email addresses to update, do I need to do it manually? Or is there a way to bulk edit the email address of Attendees? Thank you!

Hi @Carl Sandstrom, how will Cvent identify the names to update if we will directly change the email address on the list to be bulk uploaded? ​

Export the contacts, update the emails and then import them back.

Hi Jamie - 

When you export the list out, be sure to include the Source ID.  The Source ID is the unique field that you'll be using to match the registrants with (since it won't be able to match them based on the email addresses any longer) when you import the list back in.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Rebecca. So I would need to upload Source ID information first if we're only using the Email address field, right?​

Correct.
The import is matching first name, last name and [source ID or email].

Just to clarify - the Source ID already exists.  It is just a matter of including it as part of your export and including it in the new import since that is what Cvent will use to identify that attendee and the changes you want to make to the contact details.
