Importing Contacts into Remarkety using SFTP

Remarkety allows you to import contacts information from an external source (Point of Sale, CRM, etc.) using an automated process with SFTP.

To get SFTP credentials please contact your account manager or support@remarkety.com

File Name

File should be named with a prefix: shoppers_<YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS>.csv ( where YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS should specify the export date of this data ).

File Format

  • UTF-8 encoded CSV file
  • Data in columns can be quoted with double quotes
  • First line in the file should be a header row containing the column names. Names should be exactly as specified below (“Column header”) so that the system can match the information without a mapping configuration.

Updating existing contacts

The CSV file should have one of the following identifier fields:

  • id (the customer id in the eCommerce system)
  • pos_id (he customer ID in the POS or CRM system)
  • email
  • sms_phone_number

When Remarkety process the CSV file, it will search existing contacts based on these fields. The priority of the IDs is in the order above.
As such, it is possible that Remarkety will have 2 contacts with the same email address but different id or pos_id fields.

Columns

  • Yes* - At least one of the “identifying attributes” fields is required
  • datetime - Should be in ISO 8601 format that includes the correct time zone. For example:
    2020-01-08T13:49:06+02:00
