Looking to invite many co-workers to Inspire at once? The Manage Employees tab lets you send out bulk invitations by uploading an organization data file.
Note: You must be an Inspire admin to send bulk invitations.
How to send bulk invitations
- Log in to PI Inspire.
- From the Inspire homepage, select the “Manage Employees” tab.
- Click the “Send bulk invitations” button in the top-right corner.
- A pop-up will appear asking you to upload an organization data file.
- (Optional) Download our blank template for a file with pre-populated column headers.
Note: If you have existing employees in Inspire, you already have an organization data file. Click “Download it here” at the bottom of the pop-up to download it.
- Read the instructions, then click “Next step: Upload file.”
- Follow the guided instructions within the software to ensure your file is error-free. (Having trouble? Click here.)
- Once satisfied with your data, select “Import.” Any new users you add will be sent invitations to join Inspire.
I’m having trouble uploading my file. What should I do?
Once you click “Next step: Upload file,” you’ll be presented with a series of screens to walk you through the data upload. (Note: This process is powered by a third-party tool, OneSchema.)
Below is a detailed step-by-step you can follow to troubleshoot any issues:
1. Upload a file
Upload an Excel or CSV file containing the required data. (Note: Inspire provides a template file you can download to make this process easier.)
2. Select header row
Specify which row in the spreadsheet is your header row. (In most cases, the first row is the header row.) If OneSchema automatically detects your header row, it’ll skip this step. Once finished, click Next.
3. Map columns
Specify the columns uploaded via spreadsheet that correspond to the “template columns” required by Inspire. If OneSchema detects an exact match, it will automatically map those columns for you. Once finished, click Confirm mapping.
4. Review & finalize
You’ll be presented with a spreadsheet-like view of your organizational data. Use this screen to fix any validation errors within your file, either manually or automatically. Once satisfied with the changes, click “Import.”
Your organization file will be uploaded, and any new users will be sent invitations to join Inspire.

I’d like to update my existing employee data. How can I do this?
You can update existing employee information by uploading a new organization data file.
When you upload a new file, any updates will automatically apply to your Inspire employee list. New employees will be added to the list, and existing employees will be updated based on the imported file.
For example: Jane Doe is a member of your organization, as well as an existing Inspire user. She recently married and took the name Jane Mare, and you want to update her record in Inspire to reflect that fact. To do so, upload an organization file containing the new information. Inspire will automatically apply the changes.

Will uploading a new organization file ever delete an employee’s data?
No. If you have an existing organization file, your employee data is safe. Inspire will only add users to your employee list or update their existing information—never delete them.
