CSV Import and Export
CSV Import
Users can be imported and associated to other resources by use of a CSV file. CSV Importation can be used in situations where you need to modify many users at the same in an efficient manner, or for migrating users from one system or tenant to another. A CSV file can be created and edited by spreadsheet tools such as Excel, LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc, etc.
CSV file
The first line of a CSV file contains a list of field names (also sometimes called "columns"). Each new line afterwards are users to import. CSV data must respect the following conditions:
- Files must be encoded in UTF-8
- Fields must be separated with a
,
- Fields can be optionally quoted with a
"
- Double-quotes can be escaped by writing them twice (e.g.
Robert ""Bob"" Jenkins
) - Empty fields or headers that are not defined will be considered null.
- Fields of type
bool
must be either0
for false, or1
for true. - Fields of type
int
must be a positive number
In the following tables, columns have been grouped according to their resource. Each resource is created and associated to its user when all required fields for that resource are present.

Importing a file
Once your file is ready, you can import it via POST /users/import
to create all users in the
specified tenant using the Wazo-Tenant
header.
Examples
The following example defines 3 users who each have a phone number. The first 2 users have a SIP line, where as the last one uses SCCP:
firstname,lastname,exten,context,line_protocol
John,Doe,1000,ctx-<tenant slug>-internal-<UUID>,sip
George,Clinton,1001,ctx-<tenant slug>-internal-<UUID>,sip
Bill,Bush,1002,ctx-<tenant slug>-internal-<UUID>,sccp
The following example imports a user with a phone number and a voicemail:
firstname,lastname,exten,context,line_protocol,voicemail_name,voicemail_number,voicemail_context
John,Doe,1000,ctx-<tenant slug>-internal-<UUID>,sip,Voicemail for John Doe,1000,ctx-<tenant slug>-internal-<UUID>
The following exmple imports a user with both an internal and external phone number (e.g. incoming call):
firstname,lastname,exten,context,line_protocol,incall_exten,incall_context
John,Doe,1000,ctx-<tenant slug>-internal-<UUID>,sip,2050,ctx-<tenant slug>-incall-<UUID>
CSV Update
Note: The CSV update has been disabled since it does not support multi-tenants at the moment
The field list for an update is the same as for an import with the addition of the column uuid, which is mandatory. For each line in the CSV file, the updater goes through the following steps:
- Find the user, using the uuid
- For each resource (line, voicemail, extension, etc) find out if it already exists.
- If an existing resource was found, associate it with the user. Otherwise, create it.
- Update all remaining fields
The following restrictions must also be respected during update:
- Columns that are not included in the CSV header will not be updated.
- A field that is empty (i.e, "") will be converted to NULL, which will unset the value.
- A line's protocol cannot be changed (i.e you cannot go from "sip" to "sccp" or vice-versa).
- An incall cannot be updated if the user has more than one incall associated.
Updating is done through the PUT /users/import
endpoint
CSV Export
CSV exports can be used as a scaffold for updating users, or as a means of importing users into
another system or tenant. An export will generate a CSV file with the same list of columns as an
import, with the addition of uuid
and provisioning_code
, for all users in the specified tenant.
Exports are done through the GET /users/export
