  • 1.  Reversing an Import File

    Posted 07-07-2022 12:37
    Hello,
    Is there a way to reverse/delete/remove an imported file's data that was incorrectly imported in relation to a specific event's Invitee list?

    I used the bulk Import Contact tool in my Invitee Management tab, selected my Excel file to import, and finished. I didn't realize there were collapsed rows within the document - so instead of importing 30 invitees from the Excel doc like I thought, I imported 1400 invitees to the event. 

    Is there a way to like "take back" a recent import so I can do it again correctly?

    Thank you,

    If the event is live, there is no undo that I have found.
    Not like I've never done that. :)

    In situations where I need to correct a mistake I have added a custom contact field. Name it whatever you want.
    Export the invitees, first name, last name and source id (or email). Enter whatever makes sense in the custom contact field.
    The last time I needed to do this I entered KEEP and DELETE in the column.
    Import back into the address book updating records.

    Then you may be able to filter out those unwanted invitees based on the custom contact field.
