Hello all,
I would like to know how I can process a csv file attached to an email in an efficient way.

What I have done so far is always use 2 account, one which safes the file and one that then picks it up.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to do it all in one account.

Kind regards,
Alex

Hi alex

unfortunately this is probably the best way of working this scenario.

There isn't really a way of processing a CSV, row by row within a trigger.

Hi AlexUhde ,

I do this all the time using the Is Repeating Block feature. The first trigger is set just to parse each row and pass it to the second trigger. The second Trigger parses the data in each line and updates a SQL DB. I have both triggers in the same account and do not need to save the file and pick it up with another account.

If you look up the examples of the Is Repeating Block feature, it gives good examples on how to do this.
