This guide explains how to create and manage an import job using an FTP client connection in DJUST back office.

✅ Prerequisites

Before configuring a job, make sure you have:

An active FTP connection. See How to configure an FTP client .
A file path on the FTP server where import files are stored.
(Optional) An outbound directory where processed files can be moved after import.

💡
Folder Path Name
The path must include the full directory and filename.
Example: folder/sub-folder/import-products.csv

⚠️
FTP Users Rights
Ensure the FTP user has sufficient read/write access rights to the target folders.

⚙️ FTP Import Job Configuration

Creation

To configure an import job from the DJUST back office:

Step 1 – Access the Data Hub

Go to the Data Hub section.
Click + Create a new job.
Select Import.
Choose the CSV object you want to import (e.g., Products, Offers, Orders).

Step 2 – Job configuration

Fill in the left side of the form:

Job name (must be unique)
Client: select your FTP client connection
Bulk import toggle (enable if importing multiple files)- If enabled, define:
- Inbound directory (folder containing incoming CSVs)
- Outbound directory (folder where processed files will be moved)
If not using bulk, define a file path (including file name)
CSV delimiter: , or ;
Scheduler: choose frequency (:warning: displayed time is in UTC)

Frequency	Options

Hourly	Every X hour and X minutes<br>Or a specific hour
Daily	Every X days at a specific hour<br>Or every weekday at a specific hour
Weekly	Tick the day(s) for the job to run at a specific hour

For more details on how to configure mappings for each data entity, refer to this page: Data Hub Mapping Overview.

Step 3 – Save

Files are retrieved from the inbound directory

Each file is imported one by one

Once processed, files are moved to the outbound directory

Go to the Data Hub > Import section.
Find the job in the list.
Click the ⚙️ icon.
