How do I import events? – Splash Help Center

If you have all the details for your upcoming events, but don't want to walk through the event creation process each time, you can utilize our Import Events feature.

This process requires a .csv file and can be used to import up to 10,000 events at a time. Download this template for example formatting.

The required fields to make sure you have are the below:

Event Title
Event Type
Event Host
Start Date
Start Time

Other fields that can be imported are:

Event Tags
End Date
End Time
Time Zone
Venue Name
Address
City
State
Zip Code
Description
Vanity URL
Splash URL
Groups - If you're adding different groups as collaborators to events, enter the group name you'd like to add as a collaborator. Groups are matched by full name, not by number. Adding the number will not add the groups as collaborators to the events.

Next, make sure that all columns have a header and you aren't importing any blank cells.

Once you have your file ready to go, it's decision time.

Heads up: The platform considers that events are repeated if they have same values for title, event_start, event_end, venue_name, address, city, state and domain, so make sure those are different when updating similar events!

First things first:

1. Head to your Events Dashboard.

2. Select the "Import Events" button:

What theme you want to use:

Warning: To import ticketed events you must select a ticketed theme. This a theme where the page action is set to "Sell Tickets."

What Group the events should be associated with:
How duplicate events should be handled:
- Skip the duplicate on the list keeping the original one in your dashboard
- Save a duplicate version so there are two of the same event
- Delete existing event and replace with new imported event
