Import a list of user name/surname/emails/phone numbers
Every import of users will start a process in the backend - email verification to find the bounced users - we cannot send emails until is finished but we can send SMSs
In our events, we have the capability to import a list of users that includes various details such as names, surnames, email addresses, phone numbers, and other relevant information.
Upon clicking the import button, the data from the Excel file will be saved to the database, and a cron job will initiate to verify the validity of the email addresses. Please note that this process may take some time, especially if there are a large number of emails to verify. During this time, the email communication system will be temporarily unavailable. However, the SMS sending mechanism will remain operational, ensuring that users can still receive event information on their phones.
Check this example below:
I uploaded a file with 12 new users (6 are already in the system) - the cron is starting to check the emails - we can see this in the top part of the page + in the communicator we cannot see them yet - we can see only 6 users to send emails:
But on the other hand in the SMS part we can see all 18 users phone numbers to send (the 6 which they were already + 12 new users from our import list):
After we validated the emails and all is good we can see them updated ready to send too in the Email Communicator part too. We can still see the validating message in top part because this message is per solution - so other people might validate new users.
