Loading of attachments in bulk

Edit online

Load attachments in bulk, for example, linking invoices to utility account records as supporting evidence.

To load attachments in bulk, you configure a file loading data service and associate it with a file loading data pipeline with the target system set to attachments.
The end-to-end flow is as follows:
  1. Create a data service under the category File Loading.
    • To load data from an Amazon S3 bucket, set the data service type to Amazon S3 (Cloud Storage). For more information, refer to Amazon S3 data service.
    • To load data from Amazon SFTP, set the data service type to Amazon Transfer (SFTP). For more information, refer to Amazon SFTP data service.
    • To load data from an Amazon mailbox, set the data service type to Amazon Simple Email (Mailbox). For more information, refer to Amazon mailbox service.
  2. Configure a file loading pipeline.
    1. Specify Attachments as the target system.
    2. Specify a filename pattern to use when looking for attachments to load.
    3. Select the data services to poll.
    4. Select none (pass-through) as the data transformer.
    5. Specify any additional parameters required for attachment loading such as delay time or file renaming.
