StoreAutomator allows importing feed files even if the headers are missing. This is accomplished through template definitions. Follow the steps below to import headerless feed files:
Steps to Create a Template for Headerless Feed File Import
- Navigate to Templates:
- Go to Settings.
- Select Templates.
- Click on Add Template.
- Select a Template:
- Choose the Generic Input template.
- From the list of available templates, select one that suits your needs. For this example, we'll use the Quantity Update template.
- Create and Edit the Template:
- Provide a name for your template and click Create.
- After creation, click Edit to modify the template.
- Define Fields in the Template:
- In the new dialog box, click Add Field.
- Select a field, such as SKU.
- Configure Field Mapping:
- Click Auto and switch to Manual to enter the value manually.
- Enter %0 to denote the first column in the file. %0 represents the first column, %1 the second, %2 the third, and so on.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- Add Additional Fields:
- To add another field like On Hand Quantity, click Add Field.
- Select on_hand_quantity from the field list.
- Click Auto and switch to Manual.
- Enter the corresponding column number. For example, if the On Hand Quantity value is in the fourth column, write %3.
- Click OK to save.
