Flat file
A plain CSV or text file used to exchange data between systems that don't share an API. Older ERP systems often export data as flat files; automations can process them and push the data to modern SaaS tools.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Flat file is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Data category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
