# How do I add and remove private podcast subscribers?

You manage who can listen to your private podcast from its **Subscribers** tab. Your podcast needs at least one published episode before you can add anyone.

### Add subscribers

Open the **Manage Subscribers** menu on the **Subscribers** tab:

* **Add one subscriber:** enter an email address. We send that person a welcome email straight away.
* **Add many subscribers:** upload a CSV file of email addresses. If your list is in Excel or Google Sheets, export it as a CSV first. You'll see the new email addresses we found, so you can uncheck any you don't want before clicking **Add Subscribers**.
* **Shareable invite link:** copy a link, or download a QR code, that anyone can use to sign up with their email address.

Each new subscriber gets a welcome email with their own landing page and RSS feed. To change that email, or check what subscribers will see:

* [How do I subscribe to a private podcast?](https://support.transistor.fm/en/article/how-do-i-subscribe-to-a-private-podcast-1ke9b3k/)

### Control who can use your invite link

* To only let people from your organization sign up, go to the **Settings** tab and add your domain (for example, yourcompany.com) to **Safelist domains for invite links**. Separate several domains with spaces.
* To stop people with certain email domains signing up, add them to **Blocklist domains for invite links**.
* If your invite link has been shared too widely, open **Shareable invite link** and click **Expire invite link (generate a new one)**. The old link stops working.

The invite link keeps working until you reach your plan's subscriber limit.

### Manage a subscriber

Click the menu next to any subscriber to:

* **View subscriber details:** see their downloads and listening history. See [How do I see analytics for my private podcast?](https://support.transistor.fm/en/article/how-do-i-see-analytics-for-my-private-podcast-16jwt0j/)
* **Change email address**
* **Landing page URL:** copy the link to their personal landing page, for example to send it to them yourself
* **Resend welcome email**
* **Remove subscriber**

The **Activated** column shows whether a subscriber has listened to an episode yet, and **Notified** shows when we last emailed them.

### Help subscribers who haven't started listening

Subscribers who haven't listened to any episodes yet are "non-activated". To send them all their listening instructions again, click **Notify all non-activated subscribers** on the **Subscribers** tab.

### Remove subscribers

When you remove a subscriber, their RSS feed and landing page stop working, and they lose access in Spotify too.

* **One subscriber:** click the menu next to them, then **Remove subscriber**
* **Many subscribers:** open **Manage Subscribers**, choose **Remove many subscribers**, and upload a CSV of the email addresses to remove. You'll get to review the list first.
* **Everyone who hasn't listened yet:** open **Manage Subscribers** and choose **Remove inactive subscribers**

| The **Manage Subscribers** menu only appears while you have subscriber spots left on your plan. If you've reached your limit, remove subscribers one at a time, or upgrade your plan.

### Export your subscribers

Click **Export subscribers CSV** on the **Subscribers** tab to download all of your subscribers.

### Keep your subscriber list in sync automatically

If people join and leave through another system, like a membership platform, you can add and remove subscribers automatically with [Zapier](https://support.transistor.fm/en/article/how-do-i-use-transistor-with-zapier-f4ig29/), [Make](https://support.transistor.fm/en/article/integrating-with-make-1mstudi/) or the [Transistor API](https://support.transistor.fm/en/article/does-transistor-have-an-api-1b24sjo/).

### How many subscribers can I have?

Your plan sets how many subscribers you can have across all of your private podcasts, and each email address only counts once.
