Benefits of importing membership files

Importing membership files offers several benefits:

1. Create and manage user profiles. Easily send invites to new members, update existing member profiles, and delete profiles of members that have left your organization.

2. Create meaningful matches. Improve the quality of matches by importing crucial user data.

3. Accurate real-time reporting. Gain up-to-date insights through your data dashboard.

4. Target Office Hours events. Efficiently engage users in Office Hours events and campaigns.

5. Unlock retention analyses. After 3-6 months, you'll have the ability to receive on-demand retention analyses. If interested, you'll need to include all organization members in the membership files that you upload to Ten Thousand Coffees.
