Bulk provides an option to upload a large number of resources, such as contacts, to a service provider all at once. You can use bulk to download a csv or json file from a large number of records or upload a csv or json file to add multiple records. See Using Bulk for more information on managing bulk.
Note: Cloud Elements leverages the native provider bulk endpoints whenever available. When there is no bulk available from the provider, Cloud Elements provides a bulk service for uploading and downloading data from the endpoint. See Bulk Details for the type of bulk used.
