Intelligent file upload

Help your customer provide their spend data using Codat's intelligent file upload

Your customer may be using a software that doesn't have a direct integration with Codat. Instead, guide your customers through a straightforward, low-effort process to obtain and upload their supplier and bill information for insightful spend analysis and card offers.

Connection journey

During customer onboarding, you shared a Link URL with them that initiates a file sharing journey. This journey consists of the following steps:

  1. Customer clicks on the Link URL and is directed to the software selection screen.

  2. Customer searches for and selects the software they wish to connect.

Customer checklist

When prompting the customer to share their files, let them know that:

  • They will need to follow the Link URL you shared with them.
  • They will need to have Administrator access or equivalent within their accounting software.
  • They will need to share their screen with you if they request on-call support.

You can also proactively share answers to common questions with them.
