What we need from you

Share the items below with your Conflixis contact to begin provisioning your SFTP integration. Use the secure channel they provide for anything marked sensitive — do not send secrets over email.

FieldExampleNotes
hostsftp.example.comHostname or IP Conflixis will connect to.
port22Standard SFTP port; non-standard ports are supported.
usernameconflixisA dedicated user scoped only to the import folder.
basePath/uploads/conflixisAbsolute path to the folder we should monitor.
filePattern*.csvGlob that describes which files we should pick up.

Pick one of the two supported methods. Key authentication is strongly preferred.

  • RSA key authentication — you generate a keypair, install the public key on your SFTP server, and securely share the private key with Conflixis.
  • Password authentication — you set a password on the dedicated user and share it with Conflixis.
FieldExampleNotes
File typepeopleWhat Conflixis should do with matching files. Supported: people, supplier.
Column mappingSee table belowOnly required if your file’s headers don’t match the Conflixis defaults.
Expected cadenceWeekly, MondaysSo we can alert if a file is unexpectedly late.

If your CSV headers don’t match the Conflixis defaults, provide a mapping of your header names to our field keys. For example:

{
"First Name": "first_name",
"Last Name": "last_name",
"Work Email": "email",
"Employee ID": "external_id"
}

Your Conflixis contact will provide the full list of supported field keys for the file type you’re loading.

If your SFTP server is behind a firewall or allowlist, your network team will need to permit inbound connections from Conflixis. Your Conflixis contact will provide the current source IP range for our ingestion worker.

  • Host, port, and username for a dedicated Conflixis SFTP user.
  • Absolute basePath to a folder used only for this integration.
  • File pattern (for example, *.csv).
  • File type (people or supplier).
  • Column mapping, if headers differ from Conflixis defaults.
  • One authentication method selected (key or password).
  • Network/firewall allowlist updated if required.
  • Expected upload cadence communicated to your Conflixis contact.
