With a CSV file upload, you can:

  • Invite a large number of learners to your account.

  • Assign learners to new or existing groups.

  • Create new groups.

How to use the CSV

  • Navigate to the "Invite New Learners" page.

  • Click "Upload CSV" and download our official template.

  • Fill out the template using the following rules:

    • Column A (Email addresses): Enter the email addresses of the learners you want to invite.

    • Column B (Groups): Enter the name of the group you wish to add these learners to. This can be an existing group, or a new group you’d like to create. If you don’t need to assign a user to any group, leave the group column empty.

Important Rules for your CSV

  • Group creation: If you enter a group name that doesn't exist yet, Blinkist will automatically create that group for you. Double check your group names to make sure to avoid mistakes.

  • Multiple Groups: To assign a learner to more than one group, separate the names with a semicolon (;) (e.g., Marketing; Berlin; Managers).

  • Formatting: Group names are not case-sensitive and not space-sensitive (e.g., "Sales Team" and "sales team" are treated as the same group in order to avoid un-intended duplicates).

  • Exclusions: If you leave Column B empty, the learner will be invited to your organization but won't be assigned to any group.

Please note: Once learners and groups have been added via CSV upload, you won’t be able to remove learners from a group, nor to delete an existing group.
