Import Simplicity Files

This feature allows the System Administrator or Single Point of Contact ("SPOC") to upload a file from their Simplicity Collections System with consumer data directly into the portal. This example explains the file format and the manual upload process. Uploading over and SFTP server is preferred for a full integration, but manual uploads are helpful for testing or getting onboarded quickly.

Export your Consumer file from Simplicity. Once the consumer file is exported using the Exporter Method follow these instructions to upload.

Important notes before you begin:

These instructions are ONLY to be used with the Exporter Method. The Automatic Export Manager option will automatically upload the consumer data to the portal and bypasses this step.
Data files from simplicity must follow strict formatting rules. These are the standard Simplicity filenames and the importer expects them to be unmodified.
The Simplicity file MUST Include all required fields in the grid below. The non-required fields are optional.
You may include additional field names, which will be converted to Custom fields, but you must follow the rules below.
- Fieldnames cannot contain spaces or any non alphanumeric characters.
- Fieldnames must start with a letter.
- You cannot duplicate field names.

The following fields will be mapped from Simplicity into the Portal
