Csv uploads by user

Could anyone direct me to a good tutorial on setting up the functionality for a user to upload their own CSVs full of data? Context here is a CRM app. The user would need a simple way to be able to link “things” - for example, contacts to employers, email addresses to contacts, etc.

Doing these uploads through the Bubble back-end seems incredibly time-consuming and tedious since you can’t upload more than one “thing” at a time, forcing you to upload one data set, then download unique ids, then match those ids to the connected thing in the csv in a new data set, then upload again.

I think you could build something more user-friendly on the front-end with workflows (without having to rely on a 3rd party plugin with). Has anyone done this? Looking for some guidance on how to get started. I’ve looked through past forum posts and am not seeing something that addresses this directly…

Hey @bubbling504,

Check out the 1T CSV Uploader plugin by @eli

Are there tutorials on how to use that plugin? The links seem to be broken.

Also, any direction on where to go to learn how to parse data and set up recursive workflows on the uploaded data? (i.e., without using the uploader plugin)

thank you! surprised that there aren’t more detailed tutorials on this plugin or building a custom uploader floating around the web…would think this is a common issue for folks…I’m still stuck
