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.
