Automate with automap

​

Usage

A key component of Flatfile’s headless automation workflow is the automapping functionality provided by our Automap Plugin.

Upon uploading a file, after file extraction is complete, the data needs to be mapped to a destination Workbook. In a non-headless environment a human might do this manually. But in a headless environment, we’ll automate this process.

We’ll use Automap to do this for us.

​

Install

First, add the plugin to your project.

​

Configure

Next, configure the plugin. Choose an accuracy level, a default target sheet, and a regex expression to test incoming files.

accuracy: either confident or exact
defaultTargetSheet: the name of the sheet you want to map to
matchFilename: regex that will match on incoming files

​

Deploy and watch it work

Add your configured listener to your project and deploy it to Flatfile.
