The problem it solves

Big data exports often blow past the row limits your CRM or API will accept, forcing you to manually chop files into pieces before you can upload them. That kind of file surgery is tedious and easy to get wrong.

Who it fits

Sales operations or data teams importing large contact or lead lists into CRMs and other tools with row limits.

How it works

  1. You upload a new CSV file into a watched Google Drive folder
  2. The system downloads and reads the file, counting the total rows
  3. It splits the records into batches of a set size
  4. Each batch is saved as its own new CSV file
  5. The batch files are uploaded back into a target Google Drive folder
What you get

Files that arrive already sized for your CRM

Your large CSV files get split into ready-to-upload batches automatically, sized to fit your CRM or API limits.

What you get

A set of smaller CSV files, each within your target row limit, ready for upload.

What you need

A Google Drive account with access to a source and destination folder.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
