Importing & Managing Customers

Photohawk allows you to easily collect, import, and manage customer data within your galleries. This is especially useful for sending notifications, managing participants, and tracking engagement.

How Customers Are Added

Customers can be added to your gallery in three ways:

1. Automatically via Subscriptions

  • When a customer subscribes to your gallery, they are automatically added to the Customers tab

  • This is the most common way to build your customer list


2. Manually Adding Customers

You can add individual customers yourself:

  1. Go to your Gallery

  2. Open the Customers tab

  3. Click Create Customer

  4. Enter:

    • Email address

    • First name

    • Last name


3. Bulk Upload via CSV

If you already have a list of participants, you can upload them in bulk:

  1. Go to the Customers tab

  2. Select Upload CSV

  3. Use the provided template to ensure correct formatting:

    • Email

    • First name

    • Last name

  4. Upload your file

After uploading:

  • Customers will be processed in the background

  • Refresh your page after ~30 seconds to see them appear


Exporting Customer Data

You can export your customer list at any time:

  • Download as a CSV file

  • This will include all data collected for each customer

Useful for:

  • Event reporting

  • Marketing follow-ups

  • External record keeping


Sending Notifications to Customers

You can notify customers when their photos are ready:

  1. Go to the Customers tab

  2. Select all customers (or specific ones)

  3. Click With selection

  4. Choose Send Photos Ready Notification


Avatar / Selfie Notes

  • Previously, customers could upload a selfie (avatar) when subscribing

  • This is no longer active, and avatars are not currently used within the Customers tab


Summary

With the Customers tab, you can:

  • Automatically collect subscribers

  • Manually add customers

  • Bulk upload participant lists

  • Export customer data

  • Send notifications when photos are ready
