CSV files take off the hassle of having to add invites one by one and let you add multiple invites at once. When importing new invites to Brella or updating them, it's crucial that you follow the steps below to avoid mistakes or duplicates. We highly recommend using Google Sheets or Open Office to import/export the CSV file.

⚠️ When exporting, select CSV (Comma Delimited) — not CSV (MS-DOS). MS-DOS CSV does not support UTF-8 characters.
