A File Upload connection in Bulkflow allows you to manually upload files for data import, export, update, or deletion. To ensure a smooth process, your file must meet the required format and structure.

Supported File Types

You can upload the following file formats:

• CSV (.csv)
• Excel (.xlsx, .xls)
• XML (.xml)

How to Prepare Your File

1. Ensure the Correct File Format

• Use CSV, Excel, or XML format.

• Avoid special characters in the file name.

2. Structure Your Data Properly

• The first row should contain column headers (e.g., Product Name, Price, SKU).

• If your headers are not in the first row, configure the header row number in Bulkflow.

• Each row represents one record (e.g., one product or one order).

• Ensure that data is clean and formatted correctly (e.g., no blank rows).

3. Match Column Names with Bulkflow Fields

• Use consistent column names that match Bulkflow’s default field names to enable automatic mapping.

• Example: Instead of Item Name, use Product Name if that’s the expected field.

4. Check for Data Accuracy

• Make sure required fields (e.g., Product ID, SKU, Price) are not empty.

• Remove duplicate or unnecessary data before uploading.

After your configuration is completed, you can go to the ** Field Mapping ** step.
