Imports discounts and their conditions, optionally linking them to search tags, customer categories, product categories, customers and products. ## How to use the action 1\. Select the action in the **Action** field. 2. Point to your data source – a **file** (CSV or Excel) or a **SQL query**. 3. Map the source columns to Sapera's fields in the column mapping (see _Source fields_ below). 4. Run **Compare** to see what will be created, changed or stay unchanged – without writing to Sapera. 5. Run **Update Sapera** to perform the import. Use the **Allow create** and **Allow update** parameters to control whether new rows are created and whether existing ones are updated. ## How matching and updating works Each row is matched on the discount's **system name** (SystemName). Matching discounts are updated and new ones created. - A discount can be linked to **search tags, customer categories, product categories, customers and products** and carry its conditions (amount/percentage, validity, etc.). - Only the discounts in your source are processed. Direction: from file/SQL into Sapera. ## Key parameters
