CSV uploads in cofi.ai allow you to manually import structured data without setting up an automated connector.
They’re ideal for one-time data imports, historical records, or testing new models and dashboards.
This article explains what CSV imports are, when to use them, and how they fit into your workspace’s data strategy.
A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) import is a manual upload that transfers tabular data into your workspace.
Each upload acts as a structured data source that can be mapped to a database schema, just like a connector.
Common use cases include:
💡 CSV uploads are ideal for controlled or occasional data updates—while connectors handle continuous synchronization.
| Use Case | Recommended Method |
|---|---|
| Automated or frequent updates | Connector |
| One-time or infrequent uploads | CSV |
| Historical or offline data | CSV |
| Data validation or model testing | CSV |
| Ongoing, live integrations | Connector |
