How to Create and Import a Guestlist

Ticket Validation allows you to easily create and manage guestlists using a simple CSV file.

Follow these steps to prepare and import your guestlist.

Step 01

Create Your Guestlist File

Open Google Sheets, Excel, or any similar tool.

Create a sheet with the following columns:

  • Name and Surname
  • Ticket Type (e.g. Regular, VIP, etc.)

Optional:

  • Email address

You can add more data if needed, but these are the basics.

Important:

Do not use entries like +1, +2, or group entries.

Each guest should be entered as a separate row with their full name.

This ensures:

  • Accurate tracking of total guests
  • Easier search at entry
  • Better control during validation

Map Columns and Generate IDs

Map your columns to the system fields:

  • Name and Surname
  • Ticket Type

Then:

  • Enable the option to generate ticket IDs automatically

This is required since guestlist entries usually do not have predefined ticket IDs.

Step 06

Assign Validator for Guestlist

If you want a validator to handle only the guestlist:

  • Go to validator settings
  • Instead of full access, assign limited access
  • Select source: Guestlist

This ensures that the validator can only see and validate guestlist entries.
