Below are steps which will guide you through exporting your users and validating your data for importing updates. Your contract with NTN includes a maximum number of ‘active’ Echo Accounts. To make sure you don’t go over that number (or get a surprise charge at the end of the year) make sure you keep your user list clean.
Step 1: Export Users
Export your users in a csv formatted file that will be used in Step 2. The csv export has all necessary column headings required for importing, Learn More.
Step 2: Account Updates
