A Flat File Connector in EmpowerID is a powerful tool designed for bidirectional communication between EmpowerID and external identity-aware systems and applications using flat files, enabling data synchronization and interoperability. With this connector, you can effortlessly import data from external systems, whether it's stored in CSV or flat file formats, and it supports various delimiters like pipes and tabs. Moreover, EmpowerID can export data into these flat file formats, simplifying data exchange with external systems, even those lacking SDKs or APIs.
