For implementation and onboarding teams
Any client format in. One clean schema out.
Your clients send CSV and Excel files over SFTP and email. FileFeed maps them to your schema once per client, validates every file, and delivers clean data to your product. No mapping code, no engineer on the onboarding call.

The problem
Same data. A new format from every client.
Clients who integrate by API are easy. The ones who export a spreadsheet from whatever system they run are where implementation hours go. Someone writes one more import script, then fixes it when the file changes.
Check it on your own data: drop one real client file in your browser and see it mapped in about a minute.
How it works
Set it up once per client. Then it runs.
Whether files arrive over SFTP or email, as CSV, Excel, TSV, JSON or XML, every one goes through the same pipeline. This is what we call recurring client file feeds.
Connect
Give each client a FileFeed-hosted SFTP folder, connect their own SFTP server, or accept email attachments from allow-listed senders.
Map
AI suggests how their columns fit your schema. You review and approve it once per client. Built-in transforms clean every field.
Deliver
Every new file is validated and delivered as clean JSON through a signed webhook or the REST API. Processed files can go back to the client's SFTP.

Validation and run history
Every row checked before it reaches you.
Bad rows are flagged with the reason. Every run is logged, searchable and can be run again after you fix a mapping.
Security and reliability
Built for files you can't afford to lose
Isolated client access
Per-client SFTP folders and dedicated credentials, with IP allow-listing on every connection.
Controlled senders
Email ingestion with sender whitelists. Only authorized sources ever reach your pipeline.
Signed delivery
Webhooks signed with HMAC and retried automatically. Downloads served through expiring presigned links.
Full audit trail
Every file run tracked end to end: status, errors, reprocessing history, and searchable originals.
For developers
A signed webhook. Then typed rows.
Your side of the integration is one endpoint. FileFeed tells you when a file is ready, and you pull the clean rows with the SDK or the REST API.

Case studyHellora onboards clients from 30+ HR systems on FileFeed.
Every new enterprise client sent employee data in a different format. Every onboarding needed a developer on the call, mapping code, and a deployment. Now their CS team does it without engineering.

Customer spotlight
“An important part of our infrastructure as we scale.”
FileFeed has been a valuable solution for our team, especially for secure file transfers with clients. It's simplified how we intake and manage data in a structured, reliable way and provided greater visibility that we didn't have before when we managed internally. What used to be manual and fragmented is now centralized and seamless, saving us time, reducing back-and-forth, and giving us greater confidence in our data workflows. It's become an important part of our infrastructure as we scale.
Who uses FileFeed
The pattern we see most often
B2B SaaS companies whose enterprise clients send files in their own format, and where every new client used to mean a developer, new code, and a deployment.
Benefits & HR platforms
Clients send employee data from Workday, BambooHR, ADP, or custom exports, each in a different format. FileFeed maps all of them to one schema.

Partners deliver catalog, inventory, or roster files on a schedule. FileFeed validates, transforms, and delivers each feed without custom scripts.

Employers send payroll registers in formats your team didn't design. FileFeed normalizes them before they reach your database.
Explore the Financial Services solutionAny B2B SaaS with data onboarding
If your clients send files and your engineers are on every onboarding call, FileFeed removes that bottleneck entirely.
