An Autoloader can upload [[organization|companies]], [[contact]]s or [[Universal Tracking Application]] {{l1}} or {{l2}} data. Autoloaders can be triggered whenever a file is added to a designated [[SmartFolders Overview|SmartFolder]]/Configuration Folder. These files can be added manually or uploaded automatically picking by up a file from an SFTP. You can create any number of Autoloaders within the system to provide for different upload processes. The general process is outlined as follows:
# Once a file is added to the [[SmartFolders Overview|SmartFolder]]/Configuration Folder, the Autoloader process will recognize that a file has been added and start the upload process.
# Once the file has been processed, it will not be processed a second time unless a new file of the same name is added to the folder.
# Each record from the upload uploaded file will update the associated record in the database.# A log file will be created indicates to indicate the success or failure of each record update and an email can be sent to a designated user indicating to notify them of the success (or failure) of the upload.# If a new version of the file is added to the folder, then this flag is reset and the new file will be processed.# You can create any number of Autoloaders within the system to provide for different upload processes.# An Autoloader can upload [[organization|companies]], [[contact]]s and [[Universal Tracking Application]] {{l1}} or {{l2}} data.
