File integration via your FTP site.

Use Files as a Source

Technical Highlights
Data integration using local file and folder integration
- In SmartConnect.com, using FTP or a SFTP is a standard connection.
- In SmartConnect on-premise, a pre-map task of scripting is required to connect to the SFTP or FTP location to get the file, which can then be used in the integration.
- Suport for Excel, Text (CSVDelimited, TabDelimited, PipeDelimited), XML, & XML Query formats.
- Run your integrations when you want: manually or automate on a schedule.
