# VTEX Import Integrations

VTEX is an eCommerce solution used by large brands in more than 40 countries. With this integration, you can ingest your customer information via Master Data as well as Orders from this eCommerce platform.

This feature is in BETA version. For more information, contact your Customer Success Representative.

## Prerequisites

- Basic Knowledge of Treasure Data
- Basic knowledge of VTEX eCommerce platform
- A valid VTEX account


## Supported

In Orders, we support Custom Filters to have more data categorization and reduce the data size per load. However, as the f_creationDate is designed to be derived from From Date and To Date parameters, you must not include it in the Customer Filters to ensure the expected behavior of responded data. Do not use f_creationDate to filter Orders.

## Incremental Loading for VTEX

Incremental Loading allows you to import new data each time job execution with no duplicate or missing data.

### Orders Data Type

Implicitly, the Orders data type uses creationDate field for its incremental loading. After each run, the latest value of creationDate will be used as “From Date” for the next job execution.

For example, you set up importing Orders.

From Date = 2020-10-11T01:43:47.900Z and

To Date = 2020-11-11T01:43:47.900Z

- After the first run, the latest value of creationDate field is 2020-11-10T08:00:00.000Z
- The next job execution will start with:
From Date = 2020-11-10T08:00:00.001Z and
To Date = current execution time
- And so on…


1 millisecond is added to the creationDate for the next job execution is due to the inclusion of From Date of the job result.

### Master Data

Master data uses **Incremental Field** for its incremental loading. Implicitly, the API requests for Master data is ordered by the decending Incremental Field. For example, _sort=creationDate desc.

The very first value responses from the API will be used as a filter param for the next execution.

E.g. _where=creationDate>2020-11-11T01:43:47.900Z

For example, the Incremental Field is creationDate

- First run, the request URL: https://…./scroll?_sort=creationDate desc
  - The first value of the response has creationDate=2020-11-11T01:43:47.900Z
- Next run, the request URL will be: https://…./scroll?_sort=creationDate desc&_where=creationDate>2020-11-11T01:43:47.900Z
- An so on…


Because the data is ordered by the Incremental Field, the field must concur with the following conditions:

- Must be a timestamp or numeric field.
- Must not be nulled
- Must be indexed field.
