==Overview==
The Autoloader feature provides you with the ability to automatically update SmartSimple information with information with data from external text files. This feature is vital if you need to keep SmartSimple customer or project data in sync with an existing ERP or other legacy system.
An Autoloader can be triggered whenever a file is added to a designated [[SmartFolder]]. These files can be added manually or uploaded automatically using the file synchronization plug-in – [[SmartSync for Folder Synchronization|SmartSync]].
