Automation Platforms

Send CSVbox imports to Zapier, n8n, Make, Workato, or any workflow automation tool with one universal setup.

CSVbox makes it easy to connect your spreadsheet imports with any automation platform.

Using the New Row Import trigger, you can send every imported row into your workflows — whether that means adding a contact to Salesforce, storing data in Postgres, or sending a Slack notification.

This guide shows you how to integrate CSVbox with popular tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, Pipedream, IFTTT, Node-RED, Workato, Tray.io, Airflow, Prefect, Camunda, and more.

Once connected, each new row uploaded by your users can automatically flow into your databases, CRMs, analytics pipelines, or enterprise systems — without writing custom code for every tool.

🔑 Core Pattern

1. Webhook Event (Trigger)

   • CSVbox sends a webhook on each row import.

   • Example payload:

     [
       {
         "import_id": 79418895,
         "sheet_id": 55,
         "sheet_name": "Products",
         "row_number": 1,
         "total_rows": 1009,
         "env_name": "default", 
         "original_filename": "products01_24.csv",
         "row_data": {
               "Name": "TP-Link TL-WN822N Wireless N300 High Gain USB Adapter",
               "SKU": "AS-100221",
               "Price": "33.00",
               "Quantity": "3",
               "Image URL": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1491/9536/products/31jJOj1DS5L_070b4893-b7af-482f-8a15-d40f5e06760d.jpg?v=1521803806"
         },
         "custom_fields": {
           "user_id": "1002"
         }
       }  
     ]

2. Automation Platform

   • Receives this webhook.

   • Executes downstream actions: database insert, CRM update, Slack notification, etc.

client.on("row_imported", (row) => {
  console.log("Row Imported:", row);
  // push to CRM, DB, etc.
});

✅ Best Practices

• Verify webhook signatures (HMAC secret).

• Retry failed actions (add DLQ or retries).

• Store import_id + row_id for tracking.

• Log every payload for debugging.

• Secure API keys properly.

🚀 Example End-to-End Flow

Use Case: “When a customer uploads a new row with email + plan → push to CRM → notify sales on Slack.”
