Step by Step Guide

  1. You will want to set up your SFTP by reaching out to our integrations team at integrations@jebbit.com. Once you have an SFTP connected to the Jebbit platform, you can schedule as many files as you please.

  1. Once connected you can specify the SFTP option in the Report Center modal.

  1. You have control over what specific attributes to include in your CSV. You have four options:

    1. Pass all attributes (the default)

    2. Select specific attributes (see image below)

    3. All Mapped attributes

    4. Only pass mapped attributes to the campaigns in the report

  1. When passing your CSVs to an SFTP endpoint, often an engineer on the other end will be automating how they pick the files up and will need to know what the file name format will look like. The good news is, you now have the ability to customize the structure of your file name. There are two parts to the file name:

    1. The text string

    2. The data format

  1. You an also customize how the text string portion of the file name is passed and whether it is appended or prepended to the date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the benefits for setting up an SFTP automation?

A: There are a few main use cases for sending data to an SFTP.

  1. Your engineering team may want to automate picking up the files to ingest into another place (such as a datawarehouse). Think of it like a self-serve integration setup using CSVs.

  2. An SFTP could be a safe place to send CSV files with sensitive information (or too sensitive for email)

  3. Some files are too large for email, so an SFTP is a better option to automate the data to.
