Import data into Corsizio

In most cases, you will not need to import any of your event data into Corsizio. This will all depend on whether the data of interest is from previous events that you ran in the past or from current events that you have upcoming.

Importing past event and attendee data

Corsizio is meant to be used to manage current and upcoming events and registrations, not past data, client relations, or content. As such, Corsizio is not a customer relationship management (CRM) system, nor is it a learning content management system (LCMS). Every event stands on its own, and every attendee registration is independently entered and managed. When you create new events on Corsizio, you have attendees register to them brand new, regardless of whether they registered for an event in the past with you or not.

Therefore, if you want to import the data of past attendees, there is no place to put them unless you create events to house them. This means that you would have to recreate old events with their past information and manually add the attendees who were registered for them. This will be a lot of work for you, and ultimately, it will not help you in any way with using Corsizio. The exception could be if you want to use Corsizio's reports for your past event data. However, this may not be fully accurate, depending on the transactions associated with those past registrations. As such, it is not recommended that you go through the hassle of re-creating past data.

NOTE — Every registration you add to Corsizio counts toward your monthly registration usage, for which there may be charges.

Importing current event and attendee data

The most valid reason for importing event and attendee data would be if you have to switch registration software services part way through offering registrations for an upcoming event. In such a case, you may want to input the registrations you have already received and then continue receiving new registrations. To do this, proceed as follows:

Create the upcoming event on Corsizio, and then manually enter the attendees who have already registered.
If you have several events that you need to do this for, and they are the same or similar, you can use Corsizio's clone feature.
If you have any payment transactions associated with any of the registrations, you would also need to enter the payments manually, as part of the manual registrations.

There is no other way to import events or attendee registrations into Corsizio, as each registration service is configured to work in different ways. Custom fields on registrations have to be configured and collected separately, and financial transactions cannot be moved between different services.

NOTE — Every registration you add to Corsizio counts toward your monthly registration usage, for which there may be charges.
