What is CSV Integrator?

Why use CSV Integrator?
- With the native CSV Import tool, there is a limit of 25,000 records per import file. If you are to import large chunk of data, let’s say around 400,000 records, you’d have to break the huge file into multiple files with 25,000 rows each and manually monitor them.
- CSV Integrator also allows processing of files through FTP and SFTP, removing the need to download and upload files to your local drive.
- In our own experience, we were able to upload 700,000 rows without the hassle of user intervention.

CSV Integrator is free to use. To acquire it, you’d have to request access to the bundle through the client’s Account Manager.
