Import Jobs

[AndiF]

Hi there,

is it possible to get a quick introduction to generate a Import Job Class (File).

The idea behind is, to get the accounts and/or contacts from a other system (like a erp-system) and import or update that data as a job to espocrm.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Andreas

Hi

You need to create your job class in custom/Espo/Custom/Jobs dir. Take existing job as an example from application/Espo/Jobs. After Clear Cache your job should appear in Scheduled Job lists. Not 100% sure because I'm not able to check now.

Hi Yurikuzn,

thanks for your fast answer.

The Job are aktiv in the in the path application/espo/... but not in the custom-path.

Can you maybe give me an example to include a new row (and maybe an idea to update a existing row) in the table account with the relevant php-object.

Thanks again...

I'm not sure whether I understood you right.

This is the example how to create and store account entity;

$account = $this->getEntityManager()->getEntity('Account');
$account->set(array(
  'name' => $name,
  'industry' => $industry,
  'assignedUserId' => $this->getUser()->id,
));
$this->getEntityManager()->saveEntity($account);

correct path to existing job: application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Jobs/
