Summary: Alumni email accounts can be imported using either a CSV file or the API. The CSV option is ideal for smaller imports of up to 10,000 accounts, while the API supports imports of any size.

Objective

Provide guidance on how to import alumni email accounts using two scalable methods: CSV and API.

Introduction

To simplify the transition to our alumni email forwarding system, we offer two flexible import methods. The CSV import is suitable for smaller-scale imports, while the API supports bulk operations and integrations with larger systems.

Prerequisites

• Access to the alumni email forwarding system.
• Administrator privileges for performing imports.
• A properly formatted CSV file or API credentials, depending on the chosen method.

Details

1. CSV Import:

• Best suited for importing fewer than 10,000 email forwarding accounts.
• Requires a properly formatted CSV file with fields such as email address, destination address, and any relevant metadata.
• Ideal for administrators managing small-to-medium-scale imports.

2. API Import:

• Designed for importing any number of accounts, including large-scale operations exceeding 10,000 entries.
• Requires API credentials for access and integration.
• Suitable for organizations that need automated or programmatic solutions.

Steps for Importing Alumni Email Accounts

1. Using the CSV Import Method:

1. Prepare a CSV file with the required fields (e.g., source email, destination email).
2. Log in to the alumni email forwarding portal.
3. Navigate to the "Import Accounts" section and select the CSV import option.
4. Upload the file and confirm the import.

2. Using the API Method:

1. Obtain API credentials from the administrator portal.
2. Review the API documentation to understand supported endpoints and data structures.
3. Develop or use an existing script to send the email forwarding data to the API.
4. Execute the script and verify successful import.
