If this is a Bi-Directional integration, EDT supports importing customers, wish lists, and web sales.  

View the sections below for detailed steps for importing Wish Lists with Bi-Directional EDT.

Change an Existing Wish List

If the import file contains a wish with a key it will be imported as a change to the existing wish as opposed to creating a new wish.

• You must assign a WebTransferWebID to each wish.  This is set in the wish record’s paired WishTransfer object.  It must be unique to this wish.
• The import file must be saved in the same JSON format as the export and must match the data schema.
• The import file must be named [Prefix]WishList.json.  [Prefix] can be anything you want; we recommend making it numerical and incrementing sequentially, e.g. 1-WishList.json, 2-WishList.json, etc.
• The import file must be copied to the Outbox folder to await EDT processing.

A sample import change is included in the EDT Test Package: 1-CHANGE-WishList.JSON.

To import this change using EDT:

1. First, go to Customer > Wish List > Find and click OK.  
2. Edit the Non Stock Item wish for customer ‘Gill Sear’ and note the description says ‘Emerald Earrings.’
3. Copy the file 1-CHANGE-WishList.json into the Outbox folder located either in your local folder or on your FTP, depending on how you set up your EDT test environment.
4. Run EDT Run Now from your Desktop.
5. Run EDT Run Now a second time.  The first time you ran EDT, it downloaded the file.  The second time, it imported it into Edge.
6. Go to Edge and click Customer > Wish Lists > Find, then click OK.
7. Edit the Non Stock Item wish for customer ‘Gill Sear.’  The description now includes the text ‘Imported Text Here.’
   

Importing a New Wish

If the import file contains a wish with no key it will be added to The Edge database as a new wish and assigned a wishlistkey.

There is a new wish sample file included in the EDT Test Environment called 1-NEW-Wishlist.json.

To import this new wish using EDT:

1. First, go to Customer > Wish List > Find and click OK.
2. Notice that while there is a wish for customer ‘Judy Bagwell’, there are none for customer ‘Bill Bagwell.’
3. Copy the file 1-NEW-WishList.JSON into the Outbox folder located either in your local folder or on your FTP, depending on how you set up your EDT test environment.
4. Run EDT Run Now from your Desktop.
5. Run EDT Run Now a second time.  The first time you ran EDT, it downloaded the file.  The second time, it imported it into Edge.
6. Go to Edge and click Customer > Wish Lists > Find, then click OK.
7. You will now see a new wish for customer ‘Bill Bagwell’ at the bottom of the list.
