You have a list of email addresses and you need to do something with those accounts. Maybe it's a compliance request, a batch of accounts to disable, or a group that needs a targeted email. Team Import lets you turn that list into an actionable Team in a few clicks. ### When to Use Team Import for user targeting Team Import is built for precision. You already know exactly who you're targeting. Common use cases include: - Disabling or removing specific user accounts - Sending a targeted email to a defined group - Flagging accounts for follow-up or review - Acting on compliance or privacy requests (opt-out processing, account removal, etc.) If you're trying to discover new participants or segment by profile data, Recruiting and Targeting tools are a better fit. ### What You'll Need Before you start, make sure you have: - A list of user email addresses (one per line or column in a CSV or TXT file) - Access to the *Teams* and *Admin* tools in your project - A clear plan for what action you'll take once the Team is populated ### Importing Your Email List #### 1. Navigate to Teams From your project, go to *Management → Users → Teams*. Teams group users for access control, communication, and bulk actions. You'll use one here as a container for your imported list. #### 2. Create or select a Team You can create a new Team or select an existing one. For one-off or sensitive actions, we recommend creating a new Team with a clear, descriptive name. Something like "Account Removal - March 2026" makes it obvious why the Team exists when you revisit it later. 💡 **Ted Tip:** I recommend creating purpose-built Teams for administrative actions rather than reusing Teams meant for testing or access control. It keeps your workspace clean and your intent clear. #### 3. Select Import Within the Team, click *Import*. You'll be prompted to upload a file or paste a list of email addresses. #### 4. Upload your email list Upload your CSV or TXT file, or paste the addresses directly into the import field. A few things to know: - Email addresses must match existing user accounts. Only matching accounts are added to the Team. - Addresses that don't match an existing account are skipped. No new accounts are created. - Duplicates are handled automatically. #### 5. Confirm and complete the import Review the import summary, then confirm. All matching users are now members of the selected Team. ### Taking Action on the Imported Team Once the Team is populated, you can use it as a targeting mechanism for several actions. - #### Account Management Now that all these users are consolidated into a team they'll be much easier to target for actions like community or project removal, or any other action that can be achieved via macros. - #### Targeted Bulk Email Use the Team as the recipient group for platform email. This works well for compliance notices, account-related communication, or highly targeted updates. ### Troubleshooting - **Some users didn't import.** Verify that the email addresses exactly match what users registered with. Even small differences (extra spaces, alternate addresses) will prevent a match. - **No users were added.** This usually means none of the addresses exist in the project. Team Import doesn't create new accounts. It only matches against existing ones. ### Notes - Save your original email list file for audit and compliance tracking. - Confirm the action you're about to take before executing it. Team Import paired with bulk actions is powerful, so double-check your intent. - If a Team is no longer needed after you've completed your task, remove it to keep your workspace organized. - [Centercode Basics](https://help.centercode.com/en/centercode-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/centercode-basics?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/centercode-basics?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/centercode-basics?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Community Administration](https://help.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Community Administration](https://help.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#community-administration) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Project Administration](https://help.centercode.com/en/project-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/project-administration?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/project-administration?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/project-administration?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Features & Test Planning](https://help.centercode.com/en/features-test-planning?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/features-test-planning?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/features-test-planning?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/features-test-planning?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Resources & Surveys](https://help.centercode.com/en/resources-surveys?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/resources-surveys?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/resources-surveys?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/resources-surveys?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Recruiting](https://help.centercode.com/en/recruiting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/recruiting?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/recruiting?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/recruiting?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Feedback](https://help.centercode.com/en/feedback?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/feedback?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/feedback?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/feedback?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Dashboards & Reporting](https://help.centercode.com/en/dashboards-reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/dashboards-reporting?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/dashboards-reporting?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/dashboards-reporting?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Integrations](https://help.centercode.com/en/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overviews](https://help.centercode.com/en/integrations?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Guides](https://help.centercode.com/en/integrations?hsLang=en#guides) - [FAQs](https://help.centercode.com/en/integrations?hsLang=en#faqs) - [What's New?](https://whatsnew.centercode.com/) - [System Status](https://status.centercode.com/) - [Starter & Delta Edition Help Center](https://learn.centercode.com/) - [Report an Issue](https://centercode.com/issue) [![Centercode logo](https://help.centercode.com/hubfs/images/logos/Centercode-Logo.svg "Centercode logo")](https://centercode.com) Copyright © 2027, Centercode
