Event registration import
Are there any plans to develop an event registration import tool? When new customers are transitioning to YM, I understand that historical event reg data is usually placed in the activity log which can be imported into. However, this is not something the member can see, and it is disjointed from actual YM event reg data. More recently, I am working with a YM customer who is offering webinar bundles. If someone buys the whole bundle, they need to be added to the future webinar registrations. We were using a python script to automate this but it looks like YM"s recent captcha upgrades are now blocking our ability to do that. The need for an event registration import (as simple as just basic form fields) has been ever present in my 5+ years working with this system. With this webinar bundle example, they also use YM to Zoom. If an event reg import became available, it would be nice to have the option to trigger that (or not). Is anyone else offering webinar series or bundles? I'm curious how you handle this.

Hey Jess, I'll let Carson speak to whether or not something like this is planned for later, but in the meantime I wanted to let you (and others) know that we recently rolled out updates to the REST API that allow them to add registrations via API. I know it's not the same because many of our Admins aren't using the API and because it's much more technical than the import tool... but I just wanted to add this in here in case others want to go that route.

Oh wow that is fantastic news!!!! I missed that update so thanks for letting me know! It may not help this particular client but I can see it being really helpful for anyone using a third party event tool or even expologic to send data back to YM. For now I think this client will be importing their list directly into Zoom and managing without the data in YM, or using the Activity Log.
