Automatic CSV data import

The recommended method of customizing your AppGini-generated application is through hooks. But sometimes you might need to add functionality not accessible through hooks. You can discuss this here.

Automatic CSV data import

Post by wrenkens » 2025-05-16 10:22

Hi,
Is there a way to load data from a CSV file into a table automatically, i.e. without the detour via Import CSV Data?
Background: I receive my monthly account statements as a CSV file and would like to process them in APPGINI.

Hi,

as AppGini per se is a Web App, the automation needs to be done outside of AppGini. So for Unix you may use a cron job, or on windows a scheduled task. With this you can create an import script that would scan a directory for a new file and import it, if it is detected.
Any help offered comes with the best of intentions. Use it at your own risk. In any case, please make a backup of your existing environment before applying any changes.
