Data Loader
Data Loader enables you to create daily or hourly jobs that import your contact and order data into Bronto. You can also update or remove contact and order data from Bronto.
To view Data Loader, go to .
- Add files to an FTP site that Bronto provides.
- Set up import jobs that scan this FTP location for files matching the import settings.
- Update the files, or add additional import jobs, as you want to import new or updated content.
When Data Loader finds files matching a File name Matching Pattern during a scan, it will attempt to run the associated import job. Data Loader will import any file that matches the File name Matching Pattern for that import—there is no limit to the number of files you can import at once.
After an import job is run you can view a report to see if your import was successful or troubleshoot an issue.
Bronto scans the FTP site at the frequency you set for Data Loader imports and this setting can be adjusted from the main Data Loader page.
This table explains the elements on the main Data Loader page.

Uploaded Files list after all scheduled imports have run,
then the file did not match any configured imports. If you transfer a file to the
FTP server but do not see it in this list, either
