Prepare a CSV file with codes and the notification_email column. Recommended to split files into 100 rows or less
Import the CSV file. The emails will be sent automatically
Introduction
With WordPress Invitation Code plugin it's possible to send invitation codes to multiple emails at once by importing a CSV file that specifies the email to which each code will be sent.
Edit a CSV file (we recommend a spreadsheet software such as Excel, Numbers or Google Spreadsheets).
Each row is a code. Note the column "notification_email".

Detail
Column for adding emails
Populate the file with the relevant emails on each column so each code will have an email recipient.
Example of the column which contains email addresses
If the notification_email of a certain code is empty, that code will not be sent during import!
Should I Fill The Other fields?
Some other fields are essential (remember to use the template file to help you).
Don't forget to fill sharing_type and depending on it, allow_url, allow_ids, sharing_type, sharing_file. Otherwise, the users will receive a code that doesn't work.
For the other CSV fields, the plugin "autocompletes" the empty ones based on the default settings. Learn more: Creating Codes - From CSV File
Will This Process Duplicate Codes?
This process can generate new codes (which is usually recommended). To ensure that's the case, leave the code column empty. When it's empty the plugin will generate a new code and send it to the email.
Duplicating or generating codes for emails
In the example above:
If the code 1AB2 already exists, a duplicate one will be generated and sent to john1@doe.com. If it doesn't, the new code 1AB2 will be generated and sent to the user
john2@doe.com will receive a new random code
Step 2) Import the file
With the single or multiple CSV files ready, proceed to import them.
Plugin Sends Emails Automatically; Check Number of Codes
Note that the emails will be sent as soon as the plugin imports the file!
Before you proceed, check the number of codes you will import. Too many codes might overload your server and cause errors.
If you have more than 100 codes, we recommend splitting the table so that each file carries a maximum of 100 entries.
We also recommend trying files with few codes at first to get familiar with the process.
