Bulk add Listserv Subscribers

1. Create a text file with a list of email addresses and names for the people you want to subscribe to your list. If you have an Excel file, the list must have just email addresses in the first column on the left. There can be no column headings. You can add first and last name in the second and third columns if you wish. It is not required. If it is an Excel file, save it as a Text file (tab delimited) (*.txt). Make note of the folder location where you save the Text file.
2. Log in to http://listserv.binghamton.edu and using the List Dashboard, select the list you want to update.
3. Go to Subscriber Management and select Subscriber Reports.
4. If you want to delete the current subscribers, use the checkboxes to select the addresses you want to delete or click the menu for "Check All" to select all of them. Click the "Delete Subscribers" button to delete the subscribers you have selected.
5. To bulk add the list of new subscribers, Go to Subscriber Management and select Subscriber Reports. Next to Add Subscriber, click Bulk Operations.

3. Select Add the imported addresses to the list. 
4. Click “Choose File” and navigate to the folder where the text file you want to upload is stored and select the file and click Open. Click on the Import button.
5. At the top of the Subscriber Management page it should tell how many subscribers were added. Example: ADD: no error, 722 recipients added, no entry changed, no duplicate, none forwarded.
