Import subscribers from a CSV file
How to export parent emails from your school system and import them into Daystage.
Most school information systems (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, Aeries, and others) can export parent contact information as a CSV file. Daystage accepts these exports directly.
CSV format
The only required column is an email address column. A name column is optional. Your CSV can have other columns, Daystage will ask you to map the correct ones.
Minimum valid CSV:
email parent@example.com anotherparent@school.edu
CSV with names:
name,email Jane Smith,jsmith@example.com Robert Lee,rlee@school.edu
Importing the file
- Go to Mailing Lists and open or create the list you want to import into.
- Click Import CSV.
- Select your CSV file. The file is parsed in your browser; it is never uploaded to a server until you confirm the import.
- Daystage shows a preview of the first few rows. Confirm the email column mapping.
- Click Import. Addresses are added to the list. Duplicates are skipped.
Privacy note: Only import email addresses you have permission to contact. In the US, FERPA and COPPA apply. Check with your school or district before importing parent contact data.
