Archive > Automation Studio > Chorus Import Process

The Chorus import process has 3 components to it. The process can import emails addresses into newsletters, add emails to a welcome journey, and sends out a double opt-in message to add phone numbers to HBEATS. The Automation for this process is in Community Outreach Business Unit.


The Chorus import process starts with team Krystal exporting a Chorus registration.

UPMC goes to the Chorus backend to get a list of registrants for a specific event. They can export at the earliest as when the event is over.

The UPMC team will then match the fields with the following file tab delimited Excel file.

The following is a list of rules for configuring the import file:

  • The Email field and the Opt_in field are the only 2 fields that are required in order for the file to be processed. The Opt_in field needs to have anything with words “I Agree” in the column. For example, “<b>I Agree</b>” will work. Opt_in will prevent any of the following steps from being processed
  • If the list in the imported file has HealthBeat_Opt in field with a case-insensitive value of TRUE, the email addresses will get imported into the HealthBeat Newsletter
  • The Newsletter_1 and Newsletter_2 are used if UPMC wants to add the emails to additional newsletters. The list of selectable newsletters is below.
  • Lastly Registration Event, Phone, and First Name are required for adding people to the SMS HBEATS Welcome Opt-in Journey

The following is a list of Newsletter that can be added to Newsletter_1 and Newsletter_2 columns
