CSV Import Mappings

An overview of CSV Import mapping attributes.

To automate user management using CSV imports, you need to map the CSV field attributes to the profile field IDs in the Staffbase Studio. This ensures that the endpoints can match the data and update the platform.

Prerequisites

  • The identifier for each user is defined in the CSV file.

Note: Staffbase recommends not to modify identifiers once you set them. If you update the identifiers, it is necessary to update them in the CSV file. Otherwise you will end up duplicating users on the Staffbase platform.

Use the following mapping table as reference to implement your Automatic CSV Import.
