As users upload their files, the Flatfile Portal automatically validates the data in real-time. This feature helps to catch errors early in the process, ensuring that only clean, accurate data is imported into your application.
Integration with Your Application
Once the data is validated, it can be seamlessly integrated into your application. The Flatfile Portal provides APIs that allow you to programmatically access the imported data, making it easy to incorporate it into your existing workflows.
User Management and Permissions
The Flatfile Portal includes built-in user management features, allowing you to control who has access to the data import functionality. You can set permissions based on user roles, ensuring that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized personnel.
