# Validate & Update ## Address Processing Workflow The batch process consists of the following steps: {% stepper %} {% step %} :inbox-full: [Create a Batch](#create) {% endstep %} {% step %} Upload File and Start Batch * :file-circle-plus: [Variant A – Add records](#addrecords) * :upload: [Variant B – File upload](#fileupload) {% endstep %} {% step %} :play: [Start processing](#start) {% endstep %} {% step %} Download results * :memo-circle-check: [Variant A – Retrieve records](#getrecords) * :download: [Variant B – File download](#filedownload) {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## Functions ### :inbox-full: Create A batch serves as the container that defines the processing frame. A new batch must be created for each address run.

Les données sont organisées en Data Groups. Celles-ci permettent, si nécessaire, de séparer logiquement les enregistrements. Vous pouvez ainsi traiter et analyser séparément, par exemple, les clients existants, les nouveaux clients ou les campagnes. Dans de nombreux cas, une seule Data Group suffit : les données y sont simplement chargées et mises à jour en continu. > Remarque : Dès qu’une Data Group est lancée, les données existantes dans ce groupe sont remplacées. ## PUT /addressprocessing/AddDatagroup > ```json {"openapi":"3.0.1","info":{"title":"multisource•api","version":"v2"},"tags":[{"name":"Batch"}],"servers":[{"url":"https://api.multisource.ch/v2","description":"Production - v2"}],"security":[{"auth-key":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"auth-key":{"type":"apiKey","description":"API Key required for authorized endpoints.","name":"auth-key","in":"header"}}},"paths":{"/addressprocessing/AddDatagroup":{"put":{"tags":["Batch"],"parameters":[{"name":"description","in":"query","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}}],"responses":{"200":{"description":"OK"}}}}}} ``` ### GetDataGroups Lists the available data groups. ## GET /addressprocessing/GetDatagroups > ```json {"openapi":"3.0.1","info":{"title":"multisource•api","version":"v2"},"tags":[{"name":"Batch"}],"servers":[{"url":"https://api.multisource.ch/v2","description":"Production - v2"}],"security":[{"auth-key":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"auth-key":{"type":"apiKey","description":"API Key required for authorized endpoints.","name":"auth-key","in":"header"}}},"paths":{"/addressprocessing/GetDatagroups":{"get":{"tags":["Batch"],"parameters":[{"name":"loadAll","in":"query","required":true,"schema":{"type":"boolean"}}],"responses":{"200":{"description":"OK"}}}}}} ``` ### SetBatchSettings Sets batch settings.
Request-Parameter

Setting values

  • InputMapping Defines which data mapping will be applied to data processing.
  • RangeBack For address changes to be considered (e.g., moves from the last 12 months). → Default value: 36 months.
  • WebhookUrl For automation after the batch completion (currently only as a GET request with query string parameters). Can be used for further process automation to trigger actions for the customer after the batch completion (e.g., updating reports in PowerBI).
  • webhookmethod Defines the HTTP method to be used for the call (e.g., POST or PUT).
  • webhookheader Optional – defines the HTTP headers as a stringified JSON object, e.g. for passing authentication tokens.
  • webhookbody Optional – defines the HTTP body as a stringified JSON object, e.g. for transmitting custom data or payloads.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://multisource.gitbook.io/multisource-integration-api/integration/validate-and-update.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
