What Is the Active Members List?
Syncing your Active Member List allows you to easily manage who is able to access your company benefits. Members who are on your list will be able to create an account and access their benefits via the Upwards portal.
When you sync a new list, any registered member who was previously able to access their benefits but is not on the new list will require confirmation before they are inactivated. This will help prevent accidental inactivation.
Before you begin
Before you sync your list, you need to make sure the column formatting matches the column headers that Upwards accepts. This ensures Upwards can properly upload and store your member information.
Formatting customer information
The following list shows the information types that Upwards accepts. The information in the "Required Information" section must be included in order for us to properly identify your members and manage registration.
The "Optional Information" section includes pieces of information that either:
- Help to increase your opt-in rate (ie. phone number)
- Help us to segment your data to provide advanced analytics
This information is not required but is recommended for deriving utilization insights across your organization.
