Mo supports automated daily ingestion of employee data via CSV over SFTP. This keeps your employee data in sync without requiring manual uploads.


How It Works

  • Your HRIS generates a CSV export in the Mo CSV Template.

  • You make this file available for Mo via Customer-hosted SFTP โ€“ you host the SFTP server and Mo connects to collect the file.

  • Mo processes the CSV daily and updates your employee records automatically.


Key Actions:

What you do:

  1. Configure your HRIS to export the CSV daily in Moโ€™s template format. We recommend you test the file via bulk upload to check for issues.

  2. Automate your report to be placed on an SFTP server that you manage.

  3. Once you have prepared this, please share with Mo:

    • Your SFTP server details (hostname, port, directory path).

    • The public SSH key you generate for authentication shared securely.

What Mo does:

  • Connects securely as the SFTP client using your provided details.

  • Collects the CSV daily and updates your user data.

Connection details (example):
โ€‹

URL: sftp.domain Port: [insert port] 
Server public key: [insert host key line here]

Please Note: SFTP integration at Mo is managed by an implementation coordinator at Mo. Before beginning the setup steps in this guide, please contact Mo to identify your implementation coordinator.
