Bulk Import Reviewers Invite

Bulk Import Reviewers Invite

The Bulk Import Reviewers feature allows you to quickly invite multiple reviewers to a call without having to add them one by one. This is especially useful when you have a large review committee or when onboarding reviewers from an external list, such as those provided by a partner organization or conference committee.

For example, if you are hosting an academic conference and have received a list of 50 faculty members who agreed to review, you can prepare their details in a CSV file and upload them in one step.

Bulk Importing Reviewers

  1. From the desired call, click the Reviewers tab in the top bar.
  2. Click Add Reviewer(s).
  3. In the Invite Reviewer window, click Bulk Import.
  4. In the Upload e-mail list section, either click to select your file or drag and drop it into the upload area.

    Important: The CSV file must contain at least two columns: name and email. All email addresses must be valid.
    If a reviewer is not yet registered in Slayte, they will not be created as a new user automatically.
    To add them to your user list, you must also import them via the Users page.

  5. Once the file is successfully uploaded, you will see a preview of the reviewer details. Confirm the list and click Invite to send the invitations.
  6. You will receive a confirmation message indicating that the invitations have been sent.

How Reviewers Accept or Decline

Invited reviewers will receive an email with an invitation link that will take them to the Call's page, where they can choose to accept or decline the invitation.
If they are already logged into the platform, they can also navigate to the Call's page and accept/decline the invitation:

Using bulk import ensures you can onboard all your reviewers quickly and have them ready to start evaluating submissions without unnecessary delays.
