How to Import Your Guest List from Google Sheets to Venued.app
Stop manual data entry. Learn two lightning-fast ways to move your guest list from Google Sheets to Venued.app using copy-paste or file import.
Google Sheets is where most modern event planners build and share their guest lists — it's collaborative, accessible from any device, and already in your browser. Getting that data into Venued.app takes less than a minute with either of the two methods below.
No re-typing, no formatting headaches. Pick the method that fits your workflow.
Method 1: The “Speed Hack” (Direct Copy-Paste)
Since Google Sheets runs in your browser, you can copy directly from it and paste straight into Venued — no file downloads required.
- Open your Google Sheet: Go to your guest list spreadsheet and select the cells and columns you want to move — typically Name, Table, and any other columns Venued uses.
- Copy: Press Ctrl + C (Windows) or Cmd + C (Mac).
- Navigate to Venued: Log in to www.venued.app and open your event.
- Paste into the Guest Tab: Click the Guests tab, click anywhere on the page, and press Ctrl + V (Windows) or Cmd + V (Mac).
- Done: Your guest names and details populate instantly — no upload dialogs, no file formats to worry about.
Method 2: The “Official” Import (File Download + Upload)
If you have a large list or want a clean, structured import, export your Sheet as a file first and then upload it to Venued.
- Export from Google Sheets: In your spreadsheet, go to File → Download → Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) or CSV (.csv). Either format works with Venued.
- Open your Event: In www.venued.app, go to your event dashboard.
- Enter the Guest Tab: Click on the Guests tab in the main navigation.
- Initiate Import: Click the Import button at the top of the guest list.
- Select & Finish: Choose the file you downloaded from Google Sheets. Venued maps your columns automatically and loads your full guest list.
Why Use Google Sheets with Venued.app
- Real-time collaboration: Your whole planning team can update the Sheet simultaneously — then import the final version to Venued in one step.
- No software needed: Google Sheets runs in any browser, so there's nothing to install before you can get started.
- Accuracy: Eliminate typos that come with re-typing 150+ names one by one.
- Speed: Go from a shared spreadsheet to a scannable “Find Your Seat” QR code in under 60 seconds.
