Configuration

The Contacts Connector has the following configuration options:

Import File Path: The path to the input file with the contacts that you want to import. Please note, as this runs on the 12d Synergy Server, the path to the file must be from the server. If the file is stored on a network drive, you must use the full UNC path as opposed to a local file system path.

Import File Format

The Contacts Connector currently supports imports from CSV and XML files.

CSV Files

CSV files must include the names of each field in the first row. Spaces and underscores in the field names are interchangeable.

XML Files

XML files must include a separate element named 'CONTACT' for each contact. Each 'CONTACT' element must have a separate child element for each field for that contact.

Eg:

Required Fields

• First_Name
