## Add Attendees from Accounts, Contacts, and Leads

Search for Attendees who are related to existing Accounts, Contacts, and Leads.

- Business (non-Person) Account: An Attendee record is created for each Contact related to the non-person Business Account, and each will have the Account and Contact lookup fields populated.
- Person Account: An Attendee record is created and related to the Person Account record.
- Contact: An Attendee record is created and related to the Contact record.
- Lead: An Attendee record is created and related to the Lead record.

## Add Attendees from Campaigns

Search for Attendees who are related to previous Campaigns.

- An Attendee record is created for each Contact that is related to a Lead/Contact/Account, and each will have the Account and Contact lookup fields populated.

## Add Attendees from Events

Search for Attendees who have attended previous Events.

- Attendees for the new Event are created by cloning the existing Attendee who is related to the previous Event.

## Add Attendees from Reports

Search for an existing Report to create Attendees for an Event. If you select a report that includes Events and/or Attendees, all Attendees will be cloned to the new Event.

**Pre-requisites**

- Make sure the first column of the report includes the Record ID for each individual/record. The import will fail silently if it doesn’t.
- Confirm that the report with Accounts and Contacts from has fewer than 2000 rows, since Salesforce will only add the first 2000 rows/Attendees to the Event. You must use a Data Loader to import more than 2000 Attendees.
