# Import/Export affiliates

## Manually add a single affiliate

To add a single affiliate to your list, go to **Affiliates** > **Add affiliate**

You can select the program in which that new affiliate will be added, then enter the **First name**, **Last name**, and **Email** for the affiliate.&#x20;

You will need to set up a temporary **Password** for the affiliates, and they can change that after they have logged in. You can choose from these two options: **Auto-generated password** (our system would automatically generate **random** passwords for the imported affiliates) or **Set default password** (you will choose a **temporary** password for them).

If you enable **Send notification email to affiliates**, the **Password** will be sent along with other information in the **Added Affiliates** email. You can review and edit the notification [email template](/outreach/affiliate-communication/email.md) by going to **Outreach >  Emails > Manage Emails > Added affiliates.**

## Import affiliate list

If you've already had an affiliate list or wish to move from another affiliate system to <mark style="color:red;">UpPromote</mark>, you can upload an affiliate list. Simply go to **Affiliates** > **Add affiliate** **>** **Import affiliates.**

Upload a CSV file or an Excel file with these **required fields**:  **first\_name**, **last\_name,** and **email** with the exact format of the sample CSV. Each upload has a **limit of 200** affiliates. The **daily limit** for affiliate imports is 300 affiliates.&#x20;

## Export Affiliates

If you want to export the whole affiliate list with all their information as a file, click **Export affiliate.**

After you select an export option and click **Export**, a CSV file will be downloaded to your device. The file contains a list of affiliates and their information.
