Automate file upload
Hello! I am receiving multiple CSV files via email, and I need to automate the process of uploading this data to Domo. Unfortunately, I can't use the email connector because they send many files in one email. However, I can upload all the files into a folder. Do you have a solution for this? Thanks!

I was only introduced to using Python inside Jupyter Notebooks in the past few months. But it has worked well. Somewhere out there are demo pages and videos. Short and sweet - I go to "Data" and on the left side, there are three dots. Click there and you will find Jupyter Notebooks. Within your Python code you can edit, check responses, debug portions at a time, save and schedule like you do Magic ETLs. It didn't take me long after watching some video I found through Google, to muster up the courage and create a "sample" workbook. I created a Python page and hit the run icon and it did what I told it. Then I got a little more advanced.
My first attempt at your question would be something like:pip install pandas domo-py glob2
This would install the pandas, domo, and glob libraries. Then something like:
import os
import glob
import pandas as pd
from domo import Domo
# Configuration for Domo API
DOMO_CLIENT_ID = 'your_client_id'
DOMO_CLIENT_SECRET = 'your_client_secret'
DOMO_API_HOST = 'api.domo.com' # or use 'api.domo.com' for production
# Folder where CSV files are located
CSV_FOLDER_PATH = '/path/to/your/csv_folder'
# Domo dataset details
DATASET_ID = 'your_dataset_id' # Replace with your actual Dataset ID
def read_csv_files(folder_path):
# List all CSV files in the specified folder
csv_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(folder_path, '*.csv'))
# Initialize an empty list to hold DataFrames
dataframes = []
# Loop through the list of CSV files
for file in csv_files:
# Read each CSV file into a DataFrame
df = pd.read_csv(file)
# Append the DataFrame to the list
dataframes.append(df)
# Concatenate all DataFrames into a single DataFrame
combined_df = pd.concat(dataframes, ignore_index=True)
return combined_df
def upload_to_domo(df, dataset_id):
# Initialize Domo client
domo = Domo(DOMO_CLIENT_ID, DOMO_CLIENT_SECRET, host=DOMO_API_HOST)
# Convert DataFrame to CSV for upload
csv_data = df.to_csv(index=False)
# Upload the CSV data to Domo
domo.datasets.data_import(dataset_id, csv_data, content_type='text/csv')
print(f'Data uploaded to Domo dataset {dataset_id} successfully.')
# Main execution
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Read and combine CSV files
combined_df = read_csv_files(CSV_FOLDER_PATH)
# Upload combined DataFrame to Domo
upload_to_domo(combined_df, DATASET_ID)** Was this post helpful? Click Agree or Like below. **

Even though your e-mail has multiple files, you can set up multiple forwarding rules and use the dataset via e-mail connector to handle each file. You can use the attachment name expression field to differentiate which file you want to connect to. Check out the documentation in this KB article.

Thank you @Jones01 and @MarkSnodgrass ! I will try both methods.😀

I like @MarkSnodgrass suggestion. You could also use Python scripts using the imaplib, email, and os libraries to automate the download of attachments from emails. Alternatively, third-party tools could possibly automate the download process.
Domo Workbench could probably do it, but you would need to handle the specifics for files, subfolders, and transformations.

Thanks @ArborRose! I will look into using python for this automation. I will probably ask some follow up questions on that.😁
