I see. Thanks for the additional info!

We have a couple feature requests already from customers around making it easier to update static CSV files at run time. It’s something we’re looking to improve in the very near future:

> [@Prompt for a file at Runtime](https://community.parabola.io/t/prompt-for-a-file-at-runtime/333):
>
> What is your feature/integration request? When a file such as a CSV is used for the input to a flow, make it so that when the flow is run there’s a prompt for a new file to be uploaded at runtime. What problem would this feature/integration solve? Currently, CSV files can only be updated in editor mode. How do you solve/workaround this problem today? Whenever I have an updated CSV file, I have to go back into the editor, update the file, publish the flow, then run it.

> [@Email attachment import/triggering?](https://community.parabola.io/t/email-attachment-import-triggering/58/2):

> Would love something like this. Usecase: Multiple data sources prefer to send CSV files via email. Some of them have the CSV attached to the email. And some of them provide a link. When you click the link, it downloads the csv. We need these for “Last 7 days” reports. Current scenario: Emails are sent to our email We download the CSVs Log into Parabola Upload respective CSVs in Parabola Here’s an ideal representation of what the option could look like:

It would be great if you can upvote either/both of those, and also submit your own Feature Request. We do also have [Recipes](https://parabola.io/recipes) that some customers have created to be able to share their flow templates with others, but it sounds like you’re needing something a bit more complex.
