Sending data to a list

[cheyennemtnman]

I am trying an email parsing tool that creates a csv file. Currently, I have to download the file and then import it manually. Is there a way to send a file to a folder on the site and then use a Chron job to import the file?

this tool also offers "webhooks" HTML format as an HTTP Body Payload with HTTP Verbs of POST , PUT, GET, DELETE
Example
{
"id" : "{{id}}",
"received_at" : "{{received_at}}",
"processed_at" : "{{processed_at}}",
"special_instructions" : "{{special_instructions}}",
"origin_contact" : "{{origin_contact}}",
"origin_phone" : "{{origin_phone}}",
...

It also offers a legacy version that uses this format with HTTP Verbs of POST , PUT, GET, DELETE
Can Fabrik or a PHP script handle this webhook option?

Is your email parsing tool running on the same webserver as Fabrik? Then Fabrik can find it, obviously (see further below).
If it's running on a different server:
1. Does it support FTP? Then you can tell it to store the CSV on the Fabrik webserver.
2. Otherwise the CSV must be "picked up" (a.k.a. downloaded from) wherever the email parsing tool is storing it. Like you're doing manually now, except a PHP scheduled task should be able to do so automagically.

... and then use a Chron job to import the file?
